Breaking News: Shinsuke Nakamura Defeats Samoa Joe to Recapture NXT Championship in Osaka, Japan

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Samoa Joe at today’s NXT live event in Osaka, Japan to recapture the NXT Championship that he lost to Joe at last month’s NXT Takoever: Toronto live special. It was announced last week that Joe would defend the title against Nakamura in his home country of Japan, and we can now confirm that the match will be airing in full on next week’s edition of NXT on the WWE Network.

This was the first ever NXT event in Japan, as the promotion gets set for several major events in Australia, where they will be taping more content for upcoming episodes including a steel cage rematch for the title.

This is Nakamura’s second NXT Championship reign, making he and Joe the only two WWE Superstars in history to win the title twice.
