NXT TakeOver: Toronto: 4 Best Moments

1. Main Event Shocker
Well, who saw this coming? Certainly not me.
A Nakamura win seemed to make sense. The King of Strong Style had only been the champion for less than 3 months and if history proved anything, a Nakamura win seemed imminent. All 7 NXT champions before Joe in losing the belt, got a rematch, lost, and then moved to the main roster.
But in true NXT form, they kept us guessing as Samoa Joe ended Shinsuke Nakamura’s undefeated streak thus becoming the first 2-time NXT Champion.
The match, of course, was outstanding as both warriors took the fight to each other in hard-hitting form. But Joe seemed to be a step ahead all night, looking about as vicious and calculating as his early days in TNA. Nakamura never seemed to get in a groove found himself in big trouble early, never really escaping it.

So now things are in serious limbo. Most assumed that Joe would lose and head for he main roster but as champ once again, that seems on hold. Does that mean Nakamura will make the move? This should be a very interesting few months leading into the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania as both Joe and Nakamura should be major players regardless of where they end up. One thing seems to be for sure, though: the TakeOver shows seem to be more important to the WWE’s future than that of the main roster.
