WWE has announced that Shinsuke Nakamura is currently injured and unable to compete.
No word for when the injury occurred or what kind of injury it is but Nakamura fought for the last time at the WWE 's live event in Fresno, California. This match saw WWE US Champion Jeff Hardy retain Nakamura, Samoa Joe and Shelton Benjamin in a Fatal 4 Way.
