NXT TakeOver: Dallas Results: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Sami Zayn Video Highlights

How did Shinsuke Nakamura fair in his NXT debut against Sami Zayn at NXT TakeOver: Dallas?

Shinsuke Nakamura is one of the best professional wrestlers in the world, tonight he made his NXT debut against Sami Zayn.

The crowd popped for Sami Zayn, before a massive Nakamura chant filled the arena. Out came Nakamura to some epic entrance music, no worries that WWE would have dropped his first name after rumours it could happen. This is unreal seeing the most charismatic wrestler in the world in an NXT ring, even Nakamura looked a little taken back, as did Sami Zayn who sat in the corner with a wry smile on his face.

Massive duelling chants started the match from the NXT crowd. This match may break the internet! As the crowd chants his name, Nakamura gives a little wink to the camera. Nakamura looks to be soaking up the atmosphere, before going at it with Sami. A couple of quick early moves, then we see a take down and a big stomp from Nakamura.

After both men get one up on the other, to ridiculously loud chants form the crowd, Nakamura gets the advantage and hits some big strikes on Sami. Ending the sequence with an armour then a big knee to the head, Sami tries to counter but is hit with a hard looking spin kick. Sami takes Nakamura down with a suplex for a two count.

Sami comes back with some big kicks of his own, getting a two after a flying kick. Nakamura counters with a couple of big elbows, but is pushed off the top rope to the floor. Sami looks to be taking control but is hit with a couple of hard knee strikes on the apron. After showing off some of his “Swagsuke style” Nakamura hits a jumping knee to Sami in the corner, Sami manages to counter and throw Nakamura over the top and hitting a dive over the top rope. Nakamura manages to kick out of a flying cross body back in the ring.

More knees rain down on a grounded Sami, before he counters with a Michinoku Driver that looked to stun Nakamura. We come back with duelling forearm strikes from both men, neither of them looks like gaining control as the crowd breaks out into a “YES YES YES” chant. Nakamura comes out of the exchange with a bloody nose….which he wipes on his hand and licks off. Nakamura takes control with some more knee strikes.

Sami comes back with a huge clothesline to a running Nakamura, and then eats a big knee, before Nakamura tries to lock in an armour in the middle of the ring. Nakamura turns it into a triangle, but eats some stomps to the face from Sami. Nakamura ends on the matt with some stomps before Sami locks in the Koji Clutch, Nakamura manages to turn it into a two count, then lets Sami eat a kick to the face which leaves both men on the canvas.

Sami hits some tough elbows then misses the Helluva Kick, Sami hits an Exploder Suplex and a Blue Thunder Bomb, which gets him the nearest of near counts. The crowd break into a huge “NXT” chant. Sami goes for his DDT through the turnbuckles but eats a kick from Nakamura instead. Both men end up on the top rope, and then Sami attempts the Exploder in the corner, he ends up with the knee to the back of the head (formerly known as the Boma Ye) and then tastes the Kinshasa Kick to lose the match and give Shinsuke Nakamura his first win in NXT.

A shell shocked Sami Zayn sits in the corner, Nakamura goes over to shake his hand and both men embrace to big chants from the crowd. Nakamura leaves the ring to the applause of the NXT crowd.Sami gets a big reaction from the crowd, as they realise this is probably his last NXT appearance, he leaves the ring with tears in his eyes.

What a match. What did you think of this doubt at NXT TakeOver: Dallas?
