Every Match From NXT TakeOver Brooklyn II - From Worst To Best
3. NXT Title: Samoa Joe (c) Vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
Result: Nakamura kills Joe with the Kinshasa to win the title (21:14).
Rating: It says a helluva lot about a show's quality when a match between these two isn't in first or second place. First things first: Nakamura's entrance complete with a violinist was totally awesome.
Secondly: the match was pretty damn good too, though most will probably agree it didn't quite reach those absurdly sky-high expectations.
It's fair to say this one kicked-off slowly and took a while to build, and while it doesn't live up to some of the better NXT main events, it was still the brutal slugfest it needed to be for the most part and, of course, the right guy won.
As for who can be the guy to take the strap off Nakamura sometime down the line, Bobby Roode perhaps?
