Shinsuke Nakamura returns to the ring at WWE Performance Center

February 13, 2017

Shinsuke Nakamura just took a big step toward returning to NXT. The King of Strong Style got back inside the squared circle at the WWE Performance Center for the first time since suffering a knee injury during TakeOver: San Antonio.

This marks significant progress since WWE.com last had an update on the former NXT Champion, which included WWE Performance Center staff informing the Japanese Superstar his knee injury would not require surgery.

Now that the popular grappler is getting back in the ring, it may not be long before we see him back in NXT. And, once Nakamura returns, it may only be a matter of time before he sets his sights on Bobby Roode and his NXT Championship.
