Shinsuke Nakamura Reveals He’s Been Cleared From Hand Injury
Shinsuke Nakamura is ready to return.
Nakamura hasn’t competed in a singles match since Survivor Series 2021 when he faced Damian Priest on the kick-off show. He worked a brief tag team match on the December 10 episode of WWE SmackDown and teamed with Rick Boogs at a live event, but Boogs has worked the live event shows and competed in singles matches on TV.
Boogs revealed on Out of Character with Ryan Satin that Nakamura was dealing with a hand injury and wasn’t cleared.
Taking to his Instagram stories, Nakamura revealed that he has now been cleared and is ready to go.
