On facing AJ Styles:
“It’s an amazing thing for WWE history I think. We crossed over, we crossed the border line in Japan and the States, different company and that’s why I say this is destiny.”
On the fan perception that Styles vs Nakamura has match of the year potential:
“Actually I don’t care about the ratings, five stars, six stars, seven stars, whatever,” he said. “But I really want to enjoy this match. I want to do everything I can do. I want to take everything he can do.”

“We didn’t need to care about the time,” Nakamura said. “WWE time-wise is so strict.”
“When he was in Japan, he needed to adjust, but now he doesn’t need to,” Nakamura said. “For me, this took time to adjust, but now I feel comfortable with the WWE. At WrestleMania I can show my 100 percent or more.”
