In an interview with CBS Sports to promote this Saturday’s WWE NXT Takeover: Orlando live special, as well as the WrestleMania 33 pay-per-view on Sunday night, former WWE NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura commented on what brand he would prefer to debut on, if he was to debut on the main roster soon.
“I want to be on SmackDown because it has AJ Styles, Randy Orton and John Cena — a lot of dream matches I can do. Also, Monday Night Raw has a lot of friends there [who previously wrestled in Japan] like Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, [Luke] Gallows and [Karl] Anderson, which would be much comfortable for me. But first I need to concentrate for TakeOver: Orlando now and Bobby Roode.”
