New Report Speculates What Might Happen if Shinsuke Nakamura Fails His WWE Medical Testing

February 9, 2016

As noted, Shinsuke Nakamura reported to the WWE Performance Center last week, and was also in Pittsburgh to undergo required WWE medical testing. There is no word at this time as to how the Performance Center visit and/or the medical testing went, but we should know more information in the near future.

With regards to what might happen with Nakamura should he fail the required medical testing, PWInsider.com is speculating he will be brought in to work the announced NXT Takeover Dallas match against Sami Zayn and lose the bout.

It should be noted that WWE has had talents fail the required medical testing in the past, and two notable names are Willie Mack and Nigel McGuinness. Nothing is 100% in WWE until the ink is signed on the contract, but the feeling is that WWE officials must be pretty confident that Shinsuke Nakamura will pass his tests or the company would not have already announced his bout at NXT Takeover Dallas.

Nakamura has yet to move to the United States, and likely will not move permanently until he is officially signed by WWE.
