NAKAMURA COMMENTS, SAMOA JOE AND MORE TAKEOVER: BROOKLYN II NOTES

By Mike Johnson on 2016-08-21 09:54:00

New WWE NXT champion Shinsuke Nakamura was interviewed by WWE about his win last night at Takeover: Brooklyn:

For those asking about Samoa Joe's jaw, I have not heard anything about that being a legitimate injury and believe it was part of setting up the finish of the bout, which is well worth watching on a replay.  It was pretty wild to see Joe headlining in a venue that massive.

Taped last night for this Wednesday's NXT TV:

*TM-61 vs. The Authors of Pain.

*Tye Dillinger vs. Wesley Blake.

WWE Cruiserweight Classic talents Hoho Lun and Noam Dar were at Takeover: Brooklyn last night.

The entire Foley clan was in attendance last night to help promote the Holy Foley reality series debuting this evening on VOD on the WWE Network.

There were a lot of former NXT talents who had moved on to the main roster at the show, which says a lot about how they feel about the brand since it wasn't required of them to be in attendance.

It was nice to see Pat Patterson autobiography co-author Bertrand Hebert and his writing parter Pat LaPrade, who is working on a book on the history of women's wrestling.  Hebert told me they had a book signing for Patterson's book a few weeks back in Montreal and had a nice crowd come out.  He's really proud of the book and he should be, as it's an excellent read.  It was really nice to see them and catch up with them at the show.  They do quality work and you should check out their books.

WWE released the following videos after Takeover went off the air:
