Pro Wrestling NOAH released the following post-match interview with WWE superstar Shinsuke Nakamura following his match against The Great Muta as part of their The New Year 2023 event at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan, a match that was requested specifically by Muta and went through various back-and-forth conversations before being eventually approved by WWE management.

“My face is dirty, huh? No, seriously. Really. No, it’s too much, only God could have created such a miracle. I felt like the more I said, the less of an impression I would leave. This feeling has been killing me for a long time now, and from before this match. I’m at a loss for words. As a professional, it was perfect, miraculous timing, Nippon Budokan on New Year’s Day, fighting The Great Muta, the best entrance. It’s unbearable. Seriously, for the miracle, thank you.”
