Last night's edition of NXT: Takeover had a shocking conclusion as, during the brutal main event between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, indie legend Samoa Joe made his unannounced debut and confronted the champ.

Although Joe's "I am pro wrestling" boast seemed excessive at first, many fans will feel he is completely justified in making such a claim.
