Current WWE United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura has arrived in Japan for a big crossover match in Pro Wrestling NOAH.

In 2023, Shinsuke Nakamura made headlines when he became the first active WWE star to cross over to Pro Wrestling NOAH for a match with The Great Muta for the company’s The New Year show.

Since then, WWE stars AJ Styles, Josh Briggs and Tavion Heights have all appeared for the promotion.

NOAH then announced that Nakamura would make his return to the company for a bout with Ulka Sasaki on The New Year 2025 event on January 1.

On December 22, NOAH’s Twitter/X account posted a video of Shinsuke Nakamura arriving in Japan for his bout. The post reads:
