Is she the one that's friends with Nak?  If so, it's pretty likely.

I'm not sure. This is in the description from both videos:

番外編!


I played "Subconscious" from theme music of pro-wrestler Shinsuke Nakamura who i respect and love.
大好きな中邑真輔選手の新日本退団を聞いて、いてもたってもいられなくて思わず、テー­マ曲「Subconscious」を弾いてみました。
新日で見れなくなるのはとても悲しいけど、どこに行っても応援してます!!YeaOh­!!!!!!!!

I'm so sad he will leave from NJPW.
Missing you Shinsuke but i'm on your side... YeaOh!!!!!!

---

Thank you everyone who watched my video that I played "Subconscious" , and was so happy to got many requests!!
So... I tried to play"The Rising Sun" from WWE NXT New Theme music of Pro Wrestler Shinsuke Nakamura!

Ah, man, I don't know how I'm going to handle the epicness of Joe/Nak in a sold out Barclays Center.  I will have to do my damndest to get tickets for that.  Damn this wishful thinking, I'll be sad if we don't get something like that.

Here's a question I was thinking about the other day that I'll put here to generate some discussion:

What's the best network-era NXT match that doesn't have Sami Zayn or Sasha Banks in it?

I'm tempted to say American Alpha vs Rhyno/Corbin from Takeover:Respect, just to be different.  Really shows you what impact Zayn and Sasha had on NXT the last 2 years.

All good choices for best NXT match, non-Sasha, non-Zayn division. 

I'd add Paige/Emma and Joe/Bálor Dallas to that list. I'm trying to think of any other pre-Network NXT matches that I would nominate, but I can't come up with one. Oh, maybe Ohno/Regal from 2013. That's a good candidate.

See that is the sticky wicket - since G2S clearly said "Network" era

So that technically excludes Big E/Rollins, Paige/Emma, Regal/Ohno and the Regal/Cesaro matches

(The Network launched Feb 2014 all of those matches were in 2013)

Paige/Emma was on the first Network special, so that should count.

I somehow missed the "Network era" provision in G2S's post, though, so yeah, that makes it much harder to say. My favorites are probably Joe/Bálor Dallas, American Alpha/Rhyno and Corbin, and Paige/Emma. Oh, and every Emma squash match from October to December of 2015.

I was talking the 1st Paige/Emma match. The one that was the Finals of the original NXT Women's Tournament

Basically - everything from the First Takeover (Arrival) counts since Arrival was the first live event streammed on the Network

That one had the aforementioned Paige/Emma match and the Neville/Bo Dallas Ladder match that I seem to recall people liking.

She was the one with red hair that got booted for a heart problem, right?  Was hoping she would get another chance.

Yup - the same one.

I think it is almost a lock they sign her since I doubt they would have brought her in again if they weren't comfortable with her medicals now.

She has such a unique look for them and she is not terrible in the ring.

I definitely appreciate the diversity of answers to my question, although it's what I expected. I was just trying to come up with a top 10 network-era (starting at Arrival) NXT matches in my head to kill some time while driving and I realized either Sami or Sasha was in like my top 8. It gets tough after that.

My top choices were Balor/Owens from the 3/25/15 weekly show and Bayley/Asuka from Dallas.
