Shinsuke Nakamura made name for himself in NJPW, where he utterly dominated competition as the King Of Strong Style. He elevated the IWGP Intercontinental Championship to a whole new level during his run as the champion there. That being said, Nakamura has not been approached about appearing at Wrestle Kingdom 17.

Shinsuke Nakamura faced off against The Great Muta at the NOAH The New Year show on January 1st, 2023. After a hard-fought battle, it was Nakamura who stood tall and won the match.

With Nakamura currently staying in Japan, many fans wondered whether he will make his way to Wrestle Kingdom 17. While speaking at press conference after his match with Muta, Nakamura was asked if he is going to be at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17 while he’s in Japan. Nakamura stated that he will not be at the event.

No, I don’t plan to [attend NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17]… I haven’t been approached about it, unfortunately (laughs).

With his match against The Great Muta being such a huge success, we will have to wait and see whether Nakamura will compete in other promotions in the future. With Triple H at the helm in WWE now, perhaps something like that will become a reality.
