Shinsuke Nakamura seemed to be on the receiving end of a healthy push when he first joined the WWE main roster as he won the Royal Rumble match and went on to challenge AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 34. However, in recent years the former United States Champion has been drifting throughout the card.
During a recent appearance on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions podcast Shinsuke Nakamura discussed his relationship with Vince McMahon, and he also admitted that he’s struggling.
“I’m still struggling in wrestling. Coming to US and coming to WWE is challenging. I came to challenge myself. That’s why I’m here. I’m waiting to find my timing and my moment. I don’t pitch ideas to [Vince] a lot. We talk after the match a little or before the match if he has an idea for my promo. I need to get used to [not talking to Vince],” he said.
Shinsuke Nakamura also went on to say that he still gets nervous when cutting promos in WWE.
“Yes, still. Nowadays, they only give me a short line. For example, a famous joke, I don’t know because I didn’t grow up in the US.”
