As you have probably heard by now, Shinsuke Nakamura was bitten by a police dog a few days ago [read more about the incident here]. WWE is in Tokyo for live events over the next few days and Nakamura isn’t able to wrestle.

Nakamura appeared in the ring for a promo segment with Samoa Joe. Nakamura was on crutches for the segment. Here are some photos:

The good news is that Nakamura took the coquina clutch from Joe before AJ Styles made the save. This might be a hint that the injury isn’t too serious or they wouldn’t let him do that.
On a related note, here is the police statement on the Nakamura-dog biting incident.
