WWE Superstar seen backstage at AEW Dynamite this week

WWE Superstar Shinsuke Nakamura was recently photographed backstage at AEW Dynamite.


It is not known exactly why the former Intercontinental Champion was present there. Although it is likely he was there to extend his support to fellow Japanese legend, Yuji Nagata.

Nagata was scheduled to face Jon Moxley for the IWGP United States Championship. The two fought a solid hard hitting match to open the show. In the end, it was Moxley who withstood the challenge and retained his championship. Both competitors bowed to each other as a sign of respect after the match.

Update: According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider Nakamura was not on backstage at AEW Dynamite on Wednesday night.

“WWE’s Shinsuke Nakamura was not at Dynamite. Photos of him visiting with New Japan’s Yuji Nagata have floated around, leading to some assuming they were taken at AEW. That was not the case.”

Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
