NXT Spoiler and possible Payback spoiler.

Samoa Joe just captured the NXT title from Finn Balor at a house show on Lowell in what appears to be a worked injury angle.

Either its WWE adding a level of unpredictability or Finn is being called up soon. Time will tell.

I'm not sure why it couldn't have been done on an NXT taping unless they've already taped weeks ahead.

I think this should have happened at Takeover Dallas but they obviously waited until Balor became longest reigning champion (which only just happened) before dropping the title.

So in people's opinions, does Joe winning the NXT title supersede everything he accomplished in TNA? How does the NXT title rank in Joe's career?

I'd say it's up there. Not quite the same as the TNA/ROH World Titles he held as they were World Titles.

It's wrestling so the trinket he's carrying is largely irrelevant but I does signal a career revival for Joe who appeared to be past his best in TNA, he was great in the Balor feud and the Dallas match was the most 'prime' Joe performance I've seen in years, he looked like an absolute killer, I hope he continues and reminds us why he was once considered an atg in waiting

I'm assuming that the Finn Balor bandana I just saw in the WWE Kids magazine at the shop means it's imminent and going to be a big deal

I doubt they put NXT stars on the cover often do they? Do kids even watch it?

I would very much expect Balor to go main event very quickly in WWE. He's HHH's pet project.

I don't know anything about him - I've only just started googling what everyone seems to talk about in an attempt to get back into WWE. All I know is his entrance his main-event making in itself.

Because I don't want to lose my bet

His ROH title run would be hard to top especially those matches with Punk, Joes booking in TNA pretty much sums up TNA in a nutshell

I think his booking in TNA when he joined for the first 12 months was pretty much spot on. It was only when he got kidnapped by the gay bikers that it went down hill fast for him.

That's what I mean, he had a great run and was involved in some of TNAs best matches with Styles, Daniels and Angle then they changed the creative team and his direction and the company's changed, it happened a few times with him and others

Remember when he had a dick on his face?

I really hope WWE don't drop the ball with Joe, if booked right, he could be a prime contender for Brock Lesnar in future, two bad asses having a proper brawl.
