Shinsuke Nakamura on Facing Bobby Roode, If He Prefers to Stay in NXT or Go to the Main Roster, What it Would Mean to Win the NXT Title Again

April 1, 2017

WWE NXT star Shinsuke Nakamura recently spoke with WZ live Tweeter Joshua Caudill of CraveOnline.com, and below are some interview highlights:

CraveOnline: You have had fantastic matches with Sami Zayn, Finn Balor and Samoa Joe so how does Bobby Roode differ and what can we expect at NXT TakeOver?

Shinsuke Nakamura: He injured my leg again so I need to change my style but I want to enjoy this match because NXT TakeOver Orlando is the biggest NXT of the year and the audience comes from all over the world and I want to wrestle the best of Bobby Roode.

CraveOnline: You have been the NXT brand’s top star over the last year. Would you prefer to continue to build NXT or move up to Raw or SmackDown?

Shinsuke Nakamura: Hard question. I build the Nakamura era and I’m going to prove again who I am and showoff my ability so I have to concentrate on TakeOver Orlando against Bobby Roode instead of that.

CraveOnline: You have already won the NXT Championship twice but what would it mean to you to win the title for a third time?

Shinsuke Nakamura: It will show to me that I have proven myself to the world.
