-#1 NXT Takeover: Orlando – Bobby Roode(c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (NXT Championship)

Better the 2nd Time Around

After Bobby Roode defeated Shinsuke Nakamura for the NXT Championship at Takeover: San Antonio, The King of Strong Style invoked his rematch clause for NXT Takeover: Orlando.

This match was more fast-paced then their previous encounter and began with Nakamura dominating the first half of the match with aggressive strikes only for Roode to regain control by working over Nakamura’s previously injured knee.

The highlights of the Orlando main event were Roode locking in the Figure 4 Leglock, Nakamura countering a submission attempt with his cross arm breaker/triangle choke combination, Roode countering a Kinshasa with a Spinebuster and Roode hitting the Glorious DDT after transitioning from the top rope in a tornado DDT-esque manoeuvre.

This match was essentially the same layout as the San Antonio show but was much better the second time around.

Look out for part two.
