Bobby Roode retains the NXT Championship at NXT Takeover: Orlando

Bobby Roode retained the NXT Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura in an awesome match at NXT Takeover: Orlando.

The story of the match was Roode working over the recently recovered knee of Nakamura. Towards the end of the match, Nakamura kicked out of the Glorious DDT so Roode got desperate and brought the ring bell into the ring. The referee stopped him and the distraction allowed Nakamura to take advantage with a kick to the head and the reverse exploder. Nakamura went for the Kinshasa but Roode caught him with the spinebuster and almost got a pinfall as fans chanted “this is awesome.” Later, Roode hit a tornado-into a Glorious DDT for the win.
