Rumor Killer on Shinsuke Nakamura Leaving WWE – Recent rumors regarding Shinsuke Nakamura’s departure from WWE have been debunked by multiple sources. Speculation began after a false report—incorrectly attributed to Wade Keller of PWTorch—suggested Nakamura’s United States Championship match was moved up from WrestleMania 41. Nakamura lost the title to LA Knight on the March 7th episode of SmackDown.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest F4WOnline Daily Update, the rumors of Nakamura leaving are entirely false, as confirmed by WWE sources. Meltzer previously stated that Nakamura remains under contract and is not being released. Similarly, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported that no one in WWE had heard anything credible about Nakamura’s alleged departure.
However, Nakamura is expected to take a short break from WWE television. As of now, he is not scheduled for any upcoming matches or storylines leading into WrestleMania 41. While there is no clear timeline for his return, there is no indication that he is leaving the company.
Nakamura was absent from WWE television for part of 2024 before making his return to feud with LA Knight. He captured the United States Championship at Survivor Series but lost it back to Knight on March 7th. Since then, Nakamura has continued wrestling on WWE’s European tour.
For now, fans can expect Nakamura to be off television, but his future with WWE remains secure.
