NXT has had a lot of promising talent make the move to WWE’s main roster. But perhaps no one arrived in WWE with a more compelling potential than Shinsuke Nakamura. And he just got his first WWE moment – winning the Royal Rumble.
Entering from the #14 spot, Nakamura battled his way to the final four consisting of himself, John Cena, Finn Balor, and Roman Reigns. However, it was Nakamura and The Big Dog who were the final combatants.

With the Philadelphia crowd begging for his victory, Nakamura eliminated Reigns to a boom of elation. In true Shinksuska style, he celebrated like a madman.
And so did WWE fans on Twitter.
Shinsuke Nakamura won the royal rumble. AJ Styles is the WWE champion. Everything in the world is okay.

For how poorly WWE was utilizing Shinsuke Nakamura since joining the company, they just salvaged all of that by having him win the #RoyalRumble.

Shinsuke Nakamura wins! If I read one more “#WWE doesn’t listen to its fans” tweet, I’ll call that person’s mother and remind her that he probably owes her rent money. #RoyalRumble
