Triple H Reportedly Approved Big Match That Vince McMahon Shot Down

The wrestling landscape has certainly changed over the last few years as fans have seen a number of different companies crossover. However, WWE rarely works with other companies which is why the wrestling world was shocked when it was announced that Shinsuke Nakamura will be facing The Great Muta January 1st at a Pro Wrestling NOAH event.

According to Tokyo Sports, Pro Wrestling NOAH reached out to the previous WWE regime about making the match happen, and talks broke down. It seems that negotiations between the two promotions started up again after Vince McMahon officially retired.

“NOAH listed Nakamura as an opponent for Muto once he decided to embark on his retirement tour in June. There were reportedly initial disagreements, but NOAH negotiated with the new WWE regime (Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and Nick Khan) after Vince McMahon retired on July 22.”

Shinsuke Nakamura also commented on the match and compared it to a miracle when he said, “There were people in WWE who pushed me forward. It’s nothing short of a miracle. Of course, I wanted to do it. It was an area that no one had ever stepped into, or rather, I opened a door that no one had been able to pry open. Ha ha ha… It’s a real ‘Forbidden Door.”

Stay tuned for more updates on Shinsuke Nakamura’s upcoming match with The Great Muta as they become available.
