Interview with Shinsuke Nakamura
Tom Phillips is backstage with the ‘King of Strong Style’. Phillips starts off by congratulating Nakamura for winning his rivalry. Nakamura replied that his matches with Joe were very tough and he was happy that he had won the NXT Championship. Nakamura then added that he liked Bobby Roode when asked about their upcoming match. He said that Roode was one of the world’s best wrestlers but Roode wasn’t a ‘King’ and wouldn’t be NXT Champion.
Phillips adds that Roode had declined an interview earlier in the day but he had given Phillips something to give to Nakamura. It was Roode’s ticket stub from NXT TaleOver: Dallas. Nakamura just asked “He kept this?” before smiling as the interview ended.
