There is no point in giving Kushida a new lease of life if he loses the first TakeOver match in his NXT career it is imperative that he goes over this Sunday or fans will have no reason to believe in the new version of him. Kushida hasn’t had the opportunity to have a break out performance – this has to be his moment – he’s far too talented to be lost in the shuffle. The Velveteen Dream is a great dance partner for the former Time Spitter, the master of Purple Rainmaker performs as if his life depends on it at TakeOver events. On the Go-Home show for TakeOver 31, Kushida made quick work out of Tony Nese – his ruthlessness was on display once again. ![]() Kushida had a new attitude – it was great to see that level of intensity in a superstar that was aimlessly drifting along on Wednesday’s night without making an impact. He was then absent from television, between May and August this year, when he returned – he was brutally attacked by the Velveteen Dream after the Triple Threat Match that also included Cameron Grimes.Īfter missing a few weeks, Kushida made an explosive return, attacking the Velveteen Dream – displaying aggression we haven’t seen from his in NXT. He’s suffered from inconsistent booking and was sidelined for three months, after injuring his wrist last October. Since making his debut, on the Black and Gold brand in April last year, Kushida hasn’t had the best of time. Sunday would be the perfect time to pull the trigger and make NXT “Swerve’s House”. Isaiah ‘Swerve’ Scott is extremely talented, he’s featured more prominently on NXT lately, his out of the ring activities are being showcased, it looks like he in line for a push. This is his second title shot, in five weeks, and if he fails to win the championship – it will be to the back of the line for him. This match is all or nothing for the challenger, he’s done a lot of talking, he has to back it up on his TakeOver debut. The most recent singles match the two had, the leader of El Legado del Fantasma, won under dubious circumstances – he used a ‘loaded’ Lucha mask to knock the number one contender out to pin him. His first win was in the Cruiserweight Tournament, in April, then in a 6-Man Tag Team Match last month. The reason for Scott’s confidence is clear – he is the only man in NXT to pin Santos Escobar. Isaiah ‘Swerve’ Scott called his rival a “coward”, stating on an even playing field “he is better” than the champion, and will beat him the next time they go one-on-one for the title. The champion claimed he would “make an example” out of his challenger and make him “relevant”. ![]() Since turning heel and aligning himself with Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde, Santos Escobar has preached about bringing “pride” and “honor” to the cruiserweight division but met his biggest resistance in the form of his opponent this Sunday. The two have been trading shots on television and social media, they have highlighted the division in a way that it hasn’t been in a while – the NXT Universe is fully invested in this feud. The feud between Isaiah ‘Swerve’ Scott and NXT Cruiserweight Champion – Santos Escobar has been one of the highlights of NXT in recent months. Isaiah ‘Swerve’ Scott should beat Santos Escobar at NXT TakeOver 31
