NXT Takeover: New York is finally here. The event will feature some big matches, including Adam Cole vs Johnny Gargano for the NXT Championship.
We wanted to pass along some speculation on a surprise that could happen at the event.
At NXT Takeover events, we often see (big) new signings sitting in the crowd at the event. This is a nice way to showcase them to the crowd and tease that they are coming to NXT.
It looks like the person in the crowd at Takeover: New York could be KUSHIDA.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, KUSHIDA has been in Orlando and has been at the WWE Performance Center as of late. He says that he would be shocked if WWE doesn’t end up revealing him to fans at Takeover in some form.
For those who don’t know, KUSHIDA was with New Japan Pro Wrestling for almost a decade. He is a 6-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion for the promotion and will likely receive a big push in NXT.
How would you feel about KUSHIDA showing up at Takeover? Let me know in the comment section below.
