One Night Only Appearance

Part of the spectacle that is NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn will feature a special one night only appearance of New Japan Pro Wrestling legend Jushin “Thunder” Liger. He will face Tyler Breeze, who demanded for a big opponent at the show. Liger’s appearance will be his first ever in a WWE ring.

No one could have expected an international name as big as Liger’s coming to the show. The announcement came out of nowhere and stunned all wrestling fans, even NJPW and ROH. The two companies have a talent exchange where their wrestlers can appear on each show. This makes the Liger appearance on WWE TV even more unprecedented.

Given that this show is in Brooklyn and how NXT fans who attend shows are mostly “smarks,” Liger should get a big reaction. It will be a great moment for his illustrious career.

This is also huge for Breeze, who has been in limbo for awhile on NXT. It’s arguably the biggest match of his career and a big rub, signaling what management thinks of him.

The match between Liger and Breeze should be something special. Can they put on a bout that steals the show at TakeOver?
