According to a report from Tokyo Sports in Japan, WWE NXT superstar Shinsuke Nakamura has recommended former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Kota Ibushi for the upcoming Global Cruiserweight Series that will debut on the WWE Network this Summer.

In an interesting note, Ibushi recently announced that he would not be signing a dual contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling and the Dramatic Dream Team promotion in Japan as the workload of appearing for both promotions took its toll and is currently working as a freelance wrestler.

It will be interesting to see if Ibushi is one of the 32 men selected for the series in the coming months.
