– Shinsuke Nakamura faced Samoa Joe for the first time ever at last night’s WWE NXT live event in Orlando. Nakamura ended up winning with the Kinshasa in what was said to be a very good match. Below are full results and photos from fans on Twitter:
* Mojo Rawley defeated Angelo Dawkins in a fun opener. Dawkins got intense but Mojo got hype and picked up the win. After the match, Sunny Dhinsa and Gzim Selmani came out wearing masks to beat Mojo down and cut heel promos
* Nia Jax defeated Aliyah in a good match, similar to the first Nia vs. Bayley match at Takeover
* Tucker Knight, No Way Jose and Manny Andrade defeated Dylan Miley, Dash and Dawson in another hot match with all kinds of action. After the match, the babyfaces celebrated to Jose’s music
* Bayley defeated Daria The Jersey Devil in a good match up of their styles. I wasn’t a fan of Daria’s MMA style but she uses it well. Bayley was over and awesome as usual
* Elias Samson defeated Christopher Girard. Girard was really impressive tonight, good hard-hitting style
* NXT Tag Team Champions Chad Gable and Jason Jordan retained over Tino Sabbatelli and Riddick Moss in another solid match
* NXT Women’s Champion Asuka retained over Peyton Royce with the Asuka Lock. Nothing special here, Asuka was a lot more over before she won the title
* Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Samoa Joe in the main event. This was as good as you’d imagine but it felt like they were holding back, hopefully for a real feud between the two. Nakamura won with the Kinshasa
