Shinsuke Nakamura isn’t focusing on a possible Money in the Bank cash-in at tonight’s Fastlane 2023 pay-per-view event, as he is fixated on WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
At tonight’s event, Nakamura will challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship in a Last Man Standing match.
Speaking on a recent edition of “The Ten Count” podcast, Nakamura addressed tonight’s match and his strategy against Rollins. He said,
“I think I need to change the strategy to beat him. Also I need to prove that I’m better than him. I’m not enough to beat Seth Rollins so I need to show why I’m here, why I’m fighting. I need to express everything. I have a lot of feeling, frustration, madness. I’m gonna put all my emotion [in the match at Fastlane].
“I’m gonna put everything into the match. Of course. I’m gonna put everything, what I can do [tonight]. Not kind of, it’s one of the biggest matches of my career. I forgot about the past, I need to focus now.”
Nakamura also spoke about the possibility of Damian Priest cashing in his Money in the Bank contract and why he isn’t worrying about the Judgment Day member. He said,
“I need to focus only on Seth Rollins because he’s not easy. I didn’t beat him yet. First of all, I need to focus on Seth Rollins. Of course, I’m not stupid, always Damian is going to try to find the opportunity, the timing. I’m a challenger for the championship. Seth is more worried about that. He needs to defend against Shinsuke and needs to care about Damian.”
