Shinsuke Nakamura was one of the top stars in New Japan Pro-Wrestling before departing the company in 2016 to join WWE.
While Nakamura has found success in WWE as a former Intercontinental, United States, and NXT Champion, he hasn't been featured much on television over the past year. Nakamura returned to Japan to begin 2023 to much fanfare to compete against Great Muta in Muta's final singles bout.
Speaking on Comedy Store Wrestling, Rocky Romero noted that Nakamura is someone he would like to see return to NJPW in some capacity.
"I would love to see Nakamura come back to New Japan and do some really cool matches. We got some big ones, he got to work with Okada and so many great matches with Tanahashi, but he is somebody who is so important to New Japan and the history, that him coming back, just for the fans, would be massive. I would like to see him. Unfortunately, he’s not on TV all the time, he kind of disappeared from TV for a little bit. Him coming back and doing a couple of matches would be good for him to get people really excited about him and his character, and also wanting to give back to our fans who have been so loyal over the last few years," he said.
Nakamura recently returned to television and is set to face Karrion Kross on Friday's WWE SmackDown.
Elsewhere during the interview, Romero reflected on conversations with Finn Balor about working with NJPW. Fans can find his full comments by clicking here.
