Shinsuke Nakamura embraces Japanese culture in his gimmick and it is quite evident from his style. He recently donned a spectacular Kabuto mask at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames PLE.
On social media, artist Jason Baker revealed details behind the creation. In a post on social media, Baker revealed that he, Brian McGuire, and Ambria Pierson were responsible for creating the incredible-looking mask.
Baker, an accomplished special effects artist with nearly 20 years of experience, has created masks for several WWE superstars including Bray Wyatt’s The Fiend, Cody Rhodes’ WrestleMania 40 skull mask and Rhea Ripley’s horror-themed mask also worn at Survivor Series this past weekend.

Nakamura
Shinsuke Nakamura recently returned to WWE television and has embraced his darker side. He was immediately in pursuit of the WWE United States Championship. At Survivor Series: WarGames, he challenged LA Knight for the title and emerged victorious. With the title win, he joined a very elite club. Nakamura became the fourth wrestler to win the United States Title in both the United States and Canada.
‘The King of Strong Style’ captured the title for the third time in his career. He put an end to The Megastar’s title run which began at WWE SummerSlam in August when he won against Logan Paul.
Pro Wrestling NOAH pushed Nakamura’s US title win ahead of his return to the promotion when he faces Ulka Sasaki at NOAH’s New Year’s event. The match will take place on January 1st, 2025 at Budokan Hall. With significant changes in Shinsuke Nakamura’s presentation and recent title win, it seems he is trying to reclaim his spot as a top star in WWE.
