Building on his previous Takeover entrance three months earlier in Brooklyn, NXT champion Shinsuke Nakamura entered the Air Canada Center in Toronto for Survivor Series weekend in true style.

Replete with his own personal string chamber ensemble, Nakamura's backing violinists surrounded the charismatic champ and joyously played his catchy, hummable theme song, aptly titled "The Rising Sun", in and around the ring like festive servants during the coronation of a king.

Technically, they were performing for a king as Strong Style's master sensei was in the midst of expanding the reach of his throne from Japan to North America through various critically acclaimed Takeover performances in 2016.

Canadian fans in attendance sang along to Nakamura's theme, as their Brooklyn counterparts had in the Barclays Center, and NXT proved once again it could outdo itself every time by producing an entertainment atmosphere that's both encapsulating and timeless.
