NXT Live landed in Osaka, Japan, today for the brand’s first show in The Land Of The Rising Sun. This is a huge show for NXT, and there are going to be some tapings done at the event that will air on future episodes of NXT on The WWE Network. The show started off with Andrade “Cien” Almas (the former La Sombra, who Japanese fans are very well acquainted with) facing off against Oney Lorcan. And, the event was headlined by a NXT Title match that saw Samoa Joe defend his title against former champion Shinsuke Nakamura.
