Shinsuke Nakamura recently spoke with StraitTimes.com to promote the upcoming WWE event on June 27 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium where he is challenging WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins at this show.
During the interview, Nakamura shared when he wants to retire from pro wrestling. After being in the business for over a decade now, he has only been in WWE for a few years. Thus, he plans to work for another five years.
“I want to wrestle at least five more years. I’m 39 now. (Former MLB) baseball player Ichiro Suzuki retired at 45 and he was such an influence for Japanese sportsmen, especially those who lived in other countries. And so I need to wrestle until I’m 45 years old.”
Here’s the full card for this live event:
- Universal Champion Seth Rollins vs Shinsuke Nakamura
- RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch vs Alexa Bliss
- AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson vs Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley
- United States Champion Samoa Joe vs Ricochet vs Robert Roode – Triple Threat Match
