NXT: 5 Points to note (December 28th, 2016)

#1 A real clobberin’ main event!

Second time round, this match is just as good!

We had reported about this match in the December 7th edition of our ‘5 Points to Note’ article. This time around, we rewatched the match and enjoyed it quite immensely.

Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura work well together, and Joe’s deceptively quick moves are brilliant. The two men employed psychology, as Joe worked on Nakamura’s knee to take away his knee-based offence! Nakamura sold like a pro.

Eventually, the babyface mounted a comeback and managed to defeat the Samoan Submission Machine, with the same injured knee and a Kinshasaaa!

Shinsuke Nakamura, arguably the most popular babyface in NXT history then celebrated his win at home. Well, at Osaka, which is still closer to home than Full Sail University. All in all, this was a pretty entertaining episode, but we should have seen it sooner.
