Shinsuke Nakamura’s cryptic message ahead of Survivor Series

In the latest WWE Monday Night Raw episode, Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Chad Gable in a singles match, dominating the entire bout. However, the impact of his victory was less significant than the promo featuring him that WWE uploaded to their official Instagram account.

Over the past few weeks, the King of Strong Styles has been wandering around, cutting promos to find a worthy opponent for himself. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find anyone of his level. However, this recent promo indicates that Nakamura has finally found someone worthy enough to compete with him inside the squared circle.

In that promo, Nakamura said, “How long? How long do I need to wait? I’m ready to fight! Where are you? I know where you’re at. You are close. I take ALL from you. This is my opportunity! I’m waiting!”

Since last week many reports have been indicating that Shinsuke Nakamura will be issuing an open challenge at the Survivor Series WarGames 2023 event. However, there is still no official announcement from WWE regarding that.
