Joe just got his wish.

Samoa Joe has been on a rampage lately in NXT, destroying wrestlers left and right until William Regal would finally step in and give him his rematch against Shinsuke Nakamura. It looks like Regal has caved.

The ending of last night's show saw Joe once again interfere in a math, this time in the main event of the heated Buddy Murphy vs. Wesley Blake feud (to which a portion of the crowd chanted "Thank you Joe!").

Nakamura then came out with a neck brace and took if off, revealing he was ready to compete. The two brawled, and had to be separated multiple times as the show went off the air. Afterwards in a WWE.com exclusive video, Regal announced the two would be battling for the NXT Title at Takeover on 19 Nov.

Not too much of a surprise here, as that was obviously where the storyline was headed, but this now gives them over a month to hype the match further.

Nakamura and Joe delivered a great contest the first time around, and with the Toronto crowd likely to be incredibly hot, this could be a classic NXT match in the making.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
