5 things WWE NXT got right after TakeOver 36: Samoa Joe and Raquel Gonzalez look for challengers; Carmello Hayes wins big

#3 Samoa Joe met his new challengers on WWE NXT

Samoa Joe became the first man to pin Karrion Kross in WWE NXT. In the process, he also became the only superstar to win the NXT Championship thrice.

Joe came out on NXT looking for a challenger to his title. Pete Dunne interrupted him early and demanded a match. LA Knight followed and demanded his shot. Kyle O’Reilly limped out next and took a few verbal shots at LA Knight. He made fun of the former Million Dollar Champion for aiming at main-event superstars in NXT.

Ridge Holland attacked KOR from behind while Tommaso Ciampa found an opening to take out Pete Dunne. LA Knight got in the ring, only to be taken out by Samoa Joe.

This was a good segment to show off NXT’s star power. Many men deserve a shot at Joe in the months to come. Dunne promised to defeat Joe for the title whenever they meet in the ring. That could turn out to be a great match for the fans.
