Current WWE United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura has touched down in Japan ahead of a major crossover event with Pro Wrestling NOAH. Nakamura is set to face Ulka Sasaki in a special singles match at NOAH The New Year 2025 on January 1 at the iconic Nippon Budokan in Tokyo.
Pro Wrestling NOAH shared the excitement on social media with a video of Nakamura arriving, accompanied by the message: #BREAKING WWE US Champion Shinsuke Nakamura returns home in triumph! @ShinsukeN takes part in a special singles match v Ulka Sasaki at the Nippon Budokan on January 1! LIVE on ABEMA PPV. English commentary.
This marks Nakamuras return to the promotion after his groundbreaking appearance in 2023, when he became the first active WWE superstar to compete in NOAH, taking on The Great Muta at The New Year event. Since then, stars like AJ Styles, Josh Briggs, and Tavion Heights have also made their way to NOAH, solidifying the connection between WWE and the Japanese promotion.
The NOAH The New Year 2025 event will air live on ABEMA PPV with English commentary, giving fans worldwide the opportunity to witness Nakamuras latest cross-promotional battle.
