17 WTF Moments From WWE NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II

Is there a chance that NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn was the best show WWE has put on in the last decade? Maybe more? I certainly think it has a strong case.

Every single match from the top of the card all the way down to Austin Aries vs. No Way Jose had their moments. TakeOver:Brooklyn proved to be that rare breed of WWE show that kept you engaged for the full three hours, rather than diving in and out of killer action and painful filler segments.

Since you're reading this article, I'm guessing you already know the results of the show; a set of results that provided us with one huge WTF Moment.

While just about everybody knows that Bayley will be graduating to the main roster some time next month, making her defeat to Asuka expected, Shinsuke Nakamura's win over Samoa Joe for the NXT Championship presumably pins the King of Strong Style down to a prolonged stint in 'developmental'.

After being left out of the draft, many expected the former New Japan Pro Wrestling man to be brought up as a shock in the not too distant future. However, now he has the strap on his shoulder, the next NXT Champ will be a made man as any win over Nakamura at this point will make a bonafide Superstar.

Nakamura is now NXT's Brock Lesnar, if you will.

Here are all the WTF Moments from NXT TakeOver:Brooklyn II...

Somebody hold me... Tom Phillips has appeared on a televised WWE event and has been allowed to stand up normally.

Call the authorities. This just isn't normal.

Keen followers of Tomspiracies, such as me, will know that the company have made one of their leading announcers look like an absolute fool in recent times.

In his role as a backstage interviewer on RAW, if Tom's interviewee is smaller than he is, WWE force the tall and slender Phillips to stand with his legs far apart to make him smaller than the star on the other end of his mic.

This would be fine if the Tomspiracies, as they've become known on the interweb, were hidden. However, in recent times, theyve began to creep into live segments on RAW, while they've also recklessly been put on WWE's Snapchat feed and Instagram page.

Just hire a smaller backstage interviewer for goodness sakes. Look at how good Tom looks stood up!
