Backstage at UFC 303, Shinsuke spoke to Aaron Bronsteter of Sports Net and was asked how his role in WWE is changing.

"Oh, yeah. So I've been wrestling over eight years right now. So I want to keep wrestling in WWE. Also, I give the fans more like a dream. So that's what I want to do. So I want to show my passion. So also I brought the Japanese style to WWE, but still I think not accomplished. So still I'm challenging, keep challenging."

Nakamura was backstage at UFC 303 following cornering Rei Tsuruya for his bout on the card. Tsuruya would go on to score a Unanimous Decision victory. You can read more about that here.

Baron Corbin also recently asked Nakamura to corner him in an upcoming BJJ tournament. You can read more about that here.
