There have been wild speculation as for when WWE would finally call Shinsuke Nakamura to the main roster? This man has performed all around the world to earn millions of fans. Ever since he signed the contract with WWE, fans wanted to see him on the main roster but that did not turn out to be in reality. Instead, WWE gave him the duty to carry the NXT brand.
But since Nakamura has lost the NXT championship and had failed attempts to regain it, chances are high to see him on the main roster, very soon. As per reports from various sources, it’s only a matter of time before the creative gives green signal to launch him either on Raw or Smackdown.
Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Newsletter has stated that the creative has already scheduled his debut between Wrestlemania and June i.e. the month of the WWE Draft. There are immense chances that he makes a surprise appearance on post-Wrestlemania episode of Smackdown, tonight.

In addition, WWE has released a poster of NXT for the United Kingdom tour in the month of June. Interestingly, Nakamura is not being included in the poster. This further supported the rumours addressed by the sources.
He faced Bobby Rhoode for the NXT championship at the NXT Takeover: Orlando event on April 1st. They had a great match on that night in which Rhoode retained the title. Nakamura has put over the reigning champion to leave the brand, officially. The audience had given him a standing ovation upon conclusion of the event.
The King of Strong Styles is going to be a bigger attraction on the flagship show upon his debut. The audience will blow the roof off when that eventually happens. The only problem with him is his inability to speak English, fluently. But, he is going to make that up with his incredible in-ring performance.
