Ohno! Bobby Roode’s First NXT Title Defense Announced

NXT! NXT! NXT! With the next Takeover special taking place in Orlando over “Wrestlemania XXXIII” weekend, it’s time to get a card ready. It turns out that we’re not quite ready to do that though as we have to get through a few more TV shows first, one of which is going to include a huge title rematch.

According to Triple’s Twitter, Roode will defend the NXT Title against Kassius Ohno at the upcoming “NXT” tapings in Orlando, Florida. There is no word on when this show will air but “NXT” is already taped up through the March 1 episode. The Tweet also mentions the return of Shinsuke Nakamura, who hasn’t appeared since “Takeover: San Antonio” in late January.

NEXT Wednesday @UCF…@ShinsukeN returns@KassiusOhno vs. @REALBobbyRoode for the @WWENXT Championship.

This leads me to believe that we’ll be seeing Roode vs. Nakamura II at “Takeover: Orlando”, which could make Nakamura the first ever three time NXT Champion. It’s not clear how they’ll get there and while I’m not entirely sure Nakamura vs. Roode is enough of a star power match to main event a second show. Then again I said the same thing about the first match and had a blast with it.

Do you think Ohno takes the title? What do you see as the “Takeover: Orlando” title match? Let us know in the comments below.
