– Hideo Itami stopped Austin Aries from attacking No Way Jose after Aries’ win over Jose at tonight’s WWE NXT “Takeover: Brooklyn II” event. In the video below, Aries says he won the match but didn’t get to walk out with his arm in the air, which seems to be a trend for him in NXT. Aries says he sent Baron Corbin packing and shut No Way Jose down tonight, and will now take care of Itami.
