Japanese sensation Shinsuke Nakamura will make his NXT debut during WrestleMania weekend at the TakeOver event in Dallas.
Nakamura, a three-time IWGP champion and the youngest man to hold the belt having firstly won it at the age of 23, will display his noted strikes and submission moves on April 2.
"Talent is the lifeblood of our company, and the signing of Shinsuke further demonstrates NXT's commitment to bringing in the best talent from all over the world," said Paul "Triple H" Levesque.
"His explosive style will make an immediate impact to an already dynamic NXT men's division."
The King of Strong Style will compete among familiar faces in NXT, with the Kyoto-born star enjoying previous battles with Finn Balor and Hideo Itami.
Nakamura, who made his New Japan Pro Wrestling bow in 2002, has also wrestled Brock Lesnar, recent WWE acquisition AJ Styles and rumoured WWE signing Karl Anderson.
