He then suggested the idea of NXT Japan with himself and Shinsuke Nakamura being Paul \u2018Triple H\u2019 Levesque\u2019s right-hand men on the job.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always kind of imagined myself going back to Japan to finish my career in Japan. I didn\u2019t wanna leave Japan, but I kind of wanted to roll the dice with WWE, and give it a try, and if I had a year at NXT and then it didn\u2019t work out, I would have happily went back to Japan\u2026 I fell in love with Japan. But, I don\u2019t wanna go back to wrestling in Japan, I don\u2019t think. I\u2019d love to go back to Japan, and spend time there\u2026 When we go back with WWE, it\u2019s absolutely incredible. To perform for WWE in Japan, that\u2019s the dream. Maybe we can set up an NXT Japan. Paul (Levesque) might need a right-hand man to run it\u2026 Me and Shinsuke (Nakamura) I think would do a good job over there, right? God, that would be incredible. Go back to my dojo training days.\u201d<\/p>\n
B\u00e1lor is featured on the Monday Night Raw brand and is currently engaged in a feud with his former stablemates in The Judgment Day. Nakamura is on the SmackDown brand.<\/p>\n
