Shinsuke Nakamura received good news from WWE Performance Center staff this week. The King of Strong Style – who was injured during a grueling NXT Championship contest against Bobby Roode at TakeOver: San Antonio Jan. 28 – was informed that he did not have a tear in his knee, and that his injury would not require surgery.
