Shinsuke Nakamura: My Partner Is A Ticking Time Bomb
Shinsuke Nakamura drops a big hint about his future partner.
Nakamura has been at odds with Tama Tonga & Talla Tonga for weeks, and now Nakamura is bringing back up.
In a digital exclusive, Nakamura congratulated Tama & Talla on winning the WWE Tag Team Titles, but said that his partner is coming and that he is everything they pretend to be.
Shinsuke Nakamura said his partner is “chaos” and a “ticking time bomb.” Hiromu Takahashi, who finished up with NJPW in February and was expected to sign with WWE, is known as “the ticking time bomb.”
