WWE NXT Takeover Brooklyn: 5 Losses That Need To Happen
3. Samoa Joe vs. Baron Corbin
Baron Corbin has experienced a character tweak and has now gone full on heel. He's embraced his NFL background as being superior to those who've gone the indy route to get to NXT. He's arrogant and faces one of his biggest challenges yet in the form of the Samoan Submission Machine, Samoa Joe.
Who Needs To Lose: Samoa Joe
This is the hardest match on the card to call for me. Joe is a legend who's still trying to find his stride in his new home of NXT while Corbin is freshly rebranded with a heel gimmick that could be the catalyst to connect him proper with the audience. Being the younger of the two, Corbin seems to be the one who stands to gain the most from a win like this.
Who Will Likely Lose: Baron Corbin
Baron needs a win but he needs a meaningful rivalry even more. Joe and Corbin could easily be a multi-month program that carries these guys into the next NXT special. Joe should ultimately put over the rookie but he can get a win to kick this feud off. Expect a non-clean ending, though.
