Shinsuke Nakamura is returning to WWE television along with a tag team partner, targeting the new WWE Tag Team champions the MFTs.
In a promo which aired on WWE’s social media properties after the conclusion of Smackdown, Nakamura said that his new partner is “a ticking time bomb” as the silhouette of former IWGP Junior Heavyweight champion Hiromu Takahashi was visible in the background.
“Me, my partner, your destruction. My partner is what you pretend to be. Experienced. Vicious. Deadly. He is chaos. He’s a ticking time bomb. Take cover,” Nakamura said in the video.
Nakamura last appeared on WWE television on the May 22 episode of Smackdown, losing a match against Talla Tonga. Nakamura has history with both Talla and Tama Tonga from their NJPW days.
