Shinsuke Nakamura reaches #1 on iTunes and teams up with Finn Balor
There is no doubt that Shinsuke Nakamura's recent step has been a success in these early days. A week ago, he debuted with an instant classic against Sami Zayn at NXT TakeOver: Dallas, and even before the event, his presence was attributed to the good ticket prices. Now, Nakamura's success continues thanks to his theme song and his debut on live shows.
"The Rising Sun," Nakamura's entrance theme composed by CFO$, which debuted in Dallas, was announced by WWE as #1 on iTunes in its category, surpassing "Phenomenal," AJ Styles' popular theme.
The #RisingSun has reached its pinnacle at #1 on the @iTunes Soundtrack chart! @ShinsukeN

And "The Rising Sun" stood out from the start with its violin that not only captures Nakamura's oriental essence, but also modernizes it and transmits great energy to the audience, similar to Finn Balor's theme.
But besides that, Nakamura made his debut on NXT live shows last night, April 7, alongside his former NJPW teammate and now NXT colleague, Finn Balor, with whom he defeated the team of Andre The Giant Memorial winner Baron Corbin and "The Perfect 10" Tye Dillinger.

By the way, after the match, Finn Balor took a brief moment to express one of the concerns that he and the members of the NXT Universe have had for several weeks now:
@wwebalor waiting for his friends! Why they aren't here already? #BalorClub #NXTConcord
