Shinsuke Nakamura's injured knee evaluated at WWE Performance Center

February 7, 2017

Shinsuke Nakamura received good news from WWE Performance Center staff this week. The King of Strong Style – who was injured during a grueling NXT Championship contest against Bobby Roode at TakeOver: San Antonio Jan. 28 – was informed that he did not have a tear in his knee, and that his injury would not require surgery.

The former NXT Champion, who lost the title to Roode at TakeOver, has not been in the ring since suffering the knee injury. The Japanese Superstar is obviously eager to get back in the squared circle, though a timetable for his return remains unknown.
