Sure, it was brief, but the opening moments of NXT Takeover: Brooklyn set the tone for what was to come.

Triple is the proud father of NXT, and you could see his sense of pride and achievement as he opened this huge opportunity for the brand. The Game may be a heel on WWE TV, more familiar for boring 15-minute opening segments on Raw, but in NXT he’s nearly at the level of a Paul Heyman in ECW.
As Hunter put it, “It started as a whisper, until you screamed it at the top of your lungs. We gained momentum, you made us unstoppable. We had a vision for change, you made it a revolution. We told you we are the future, ‘til you told us the future… is… now. WE ARE NXT!”
It was heartfelt, it was too the point, and it perfectly set the mood for the action ahead.
