1. Shinsuke Nakamura Becomes the New Face of NXT
NXT TakeOver Brooklyn is the time and the place to the pull the trigger on Shinsuke Nakamura. Yes, Samoa Joe’s reign hasn’t been all that long or fruitful, but good timing is good timing. Joe and Nakamura are the biggest stars on the NXT roster. They are facing each other head on at the biggest show of the year. Nakamura needs to win. When he does, he automatically becomes the face of the brand that will yield big dollars as NXT picks up steam touring.
Rematches between Joe and Nakamura will be on the horizon after with a jealous and revenge obsessed Joe chasing a calm and collected Nakamura for the title. The next three months of stories write themselves with a Nakamura win on Saturday. More than that, timing is everything.
Can you imagine the Austin era being what it was without his first crowning win happening at a WrestleMania? Me neither.
Nakamura needs that win and it will do wonders in making this show incredibly special and memorable.
