WWE is slated to send one of its stars back to Pro Wrestling NOAH.
Shinsuke Nakamura will wrestle Ulka Sasaki on January 1, 2025. This comes after he returned to the Japanese wrestling promotion Pro Wrestling NOAH, where he wrestled The Great Muta at the Pro Wrestling NOAH The New Year event from the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan, in 2023.
The match was part of Muta’s farewell tour. Nakamura made a stunning entrance at the event, using his WWE theme music while wearing new attire. Nakamura won the match.
After a long hiatus from WWE television, Nakamura returned last month to enter into a feud with LA Knight, which led to Nakamura going over to win the United States Title at Survivor Series: WarGames. As seen below, Pro Wrestling NOAH shared footage of Nakamura arriving in Japan for his bout.
