- Top Japanese star Shinsuke Nakamura, who was stripped of the IWGP Intercontinental Title this week, is headed to the United States to spend some time at the WWE Performance Center in early February, according to PWInsider.

Nakamura is set to spend several weeks at the Performance Center to train and will also undergo medical testing, possibly in Pittsburgh, PA, where they usually do it. If Nakamura passes everything, he would be cleared to sign with the company.
