NXT Championship contract signing between Shinsuke Nakamura and Bobby Roode
William Regal was in the middle of the ring as we came back from commercial. He introduced the ‘Glorious’ Bobby Roode first. Roode was met with a massive ovation from the fans at Full Sail who sang along with his theme.He was followed out by the NXT Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura, who received another huge ovation from the fans.
As Regal was about to start talking, Roode cut him off. Bobby Roode said that unlike previous NXT contract signings, there would be no fighting or physicality. Roode then said that he had seen Nakamura’s work in Japan and didn’t think that Nakamura was worth his time, which led to an audible gasp from the fans in attendance. Roode added that TakeOver: Dallas was the start of the Nakamura Era in NXT, which he saw live from the arena. He then went on to name the names that Nakamura had beaten before saying that Nakamura may have been the King Of Strong Style but in reality, he had no style.
Nakamura finally replied, saying that he knew that their paths would cross. Nakamura then added that Roode looked like a “shiba inu” which was a type of Japanese dog.
Roode replied that they were not in Japan anymore and that Nakamura was about to face the “it factor” of Sports Entertainment before calling Nakamura a joke. He then added that slowly but surely, the guys in the back and the fans would start wearing suits. Roode then promised to win the NXT Championship before signing the contract.
Roode then tried to say “Glorious” but Nakamura stopped him. He then called Roode one of the best in the world before promising that at TakeOver, he wouldn’t take the NXT title. Nakamura finished off by saying that at TakeOver, he would kick Bobby Roode’s head off before adding that it would be “Glorious”.
