hammerva 5,142 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Well now we know why they were taping NXT shows in Japan. Spoiler Shinsuke Nakamura is once again NXT Champion. Nakamura defeated Samoa Joe to recapture the title at today's NXT house show at the Edion Arena in Osaka, Japan. Their rematch was announced on last week's episode of NXT TV after Joe had beaten Nakamura for the championship at NXT TakeOver: Toronto. And the speculations who goes up to main roster gets even more confusing Link to post Share on other sites
RIPPA 34,427 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Not really - they are taping more shows on this trip. So everything and nothing can change Link to post Share on other sites
RIPPA 34,427 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Also - it is virtually impossible to not have results from Osaka spoiled for you if you go anywhere on the internet. Just saying... Link to post Share on other sites
RIPPA 34,427 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Quote NXT Live Osaka Results Oney Lorcan defeated Andrade “Cien” Almas (the former La Sombra even came out in his mask for this one). Billie Kay and Peyton Royce defeated Liv Morgan and Aliyah. The Revival defeated Riddick Moss and Tino Sabbatelli. Tye Dillinger defeated Elias Samson and Bobby Roode in a Triple Threat Match (he pinned Samson, not Roode). After intermission NXT General Manager William Regal and Hideo Itami came out to speak to the crowd. Asuka defeated Nia Jax to retain her NXT Women’s Title. DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) defeated Akira Tozawa and Tajiri to retain their NXT Tag Team Titles. Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Samoa Joe to regain the NXT Title.

RIPPA 34,427 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 And Triple H just confirmed that Nakamura/Joe will air on Wednesday Link to post Share on other sites
Go2Sleep 1,494 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Spoiler DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) defeated Akira Tozawa and Tajiri to retain their NXT Tag Team Titles. I hope this match makes tv. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
caley 3,638 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 The fact that neither Nakamura nor Asuka lost in Japan pretty much confirms that Vince McMahon doesn't have any say/interest in booking NXT. 8 Link to post Share on other sites
Eivion 4,140 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I expected this. I think Nakamura will retain in the rematch as well. Link to post Share on other sites

L_W_P 2,366 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Well this makes Melbourne (the next taped show) even more confusing. Feel like Joe might win it back but I would love, love, love to see Nakamura go over. That said, seeing a title change hands live would be a first and kill the whole "title wont change hands at a house show" theory. NXT seem to have no issues with it. 4 more sleeps...

Matt D 13,859 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Personally, I think It's a lot easier to insert Joe onto the main roster than Nak. Joe's much more of a standard, traditional WWE sort of talent. Very much a known quantity. I could think of half a dozen things to do with him. I have no idea what they could even do with Nakamura that they'd actually do. Link to post Share on other sites
nofuture 4,321 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I think Nakamura could do well on Smackdown. The roster is thinner than Raw so he'll have more room to shine. He'd totally get lost in the shuffle on Raw. Link to post Share on other sites
The Z 1,646 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Can we read into Ibushi not being used on the show, that they've finally given up on doing something with him? Link to post Share on other sites
Ace 5,078 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Well. he won't sign an exclusive contract. Link to post Share on other sites

On 12/3/2016 at 6:07 PM, Ace said: Well. he won't sign an exclusive contract. I think it was more because he was working the DDT show in the same building the following night and didn't want them to hemorrhage any more fans than they already had.

Tim Evans 368 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 That Nia Jax vs Asuka match was really great. Best Jax match ever as she was just throwing those headbutts to counter Asuka's strikes. The crowd was going nuts for it that it doesn't surprise me that the main was pretty quiet. Tag title match was good too. Can't wait to see Tajiri next week on 205 live. Nice to see Andrade bring the Sombra mask back and Tom was name dropping New Japan like crazy. Best NXT show in a while 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Eivion 4,140 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 DIY vs. Taijiri & Tozawa was good stuff. Glad they let it be a bit of a showcase for Tozawa. I thought Nia/Asuka went a pinch long for what was there, but it was good. I loved the opening and the various cutoff whenever Asuka tried to mount a comeback. Really wish Nia was still in NXT or on SDL. Link to post Share on other sites
turk128 1,473 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Damn if Tozawa was fun to watch, even his rest holds are fun. Really looking forward to Aliyah developing a character, she's pretty solid in ring. Asuka/Nia Jax was sloppy and rough at times but it really played into Asuka struggling to overcome the monster Jax. Jax looked great. Surprisingly good match. Link to post Share on other sites
Go2Sleep 1,494 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 The tag match was great as expected despite Tajiri's awkward misting. Nia/Asuka was good also. Not quite as tight as their match at The End, but those two have good chemistry. Link to post Share on other sites
