Austin Aries will be introduced to a fiesta of fury at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II, when he faces No Way Jose.
The fun-loving Superstar danced his way into the hearts of the NXT Universe when he first stepped foot into the squared circle earlier this year. The fun times seemingly never stopped from the second Jose’s entrance music hit to the moment he put his opponent down for the three-count.

That all changed when No Way Jose crossed paths with Aries, however. “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived” was despondent after coming up short against Shinsuke Nakamura at TakeOver: The End… Of The Beginning. Jose sought Aries out and tried to show him that sports-entertainment should be fun. The two broke out in an impromptu dance party in the ring, but things quickly turned sour when Aries revealed his true intentions and battered Jose around the arena before locking the Last Chancery on him.
Since that ambush attack, No Way Jose has revealed a new side of himself to the NXT Universe. It’s not always a fiesta for the Dominican Superstar. When the music stops, Jose has no issues with throwing down for a fight. After giving Aries a taste of his own medicine, Jose promised that when he next gets his hands on Aries, A-Double is in for a world of hurt.
Aries has been trying to avoid Jose since the dancing Superstar got a measure of payback several weeks ago. However, “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived” made the mistake of demanding a match on NXT’s biggest stage. NXT General Manager William Regal granted the match, but A-Double was not enthused when he found out he’d be facing the furious No Way Jose in Brooklyn.
Can Aries contain the rage of his rival, or will No Way Jose turn the ring into a dance floor of destruction when he finally gets his chance at retribution? Find out at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II, live Saturday, Aug. 20 at 8 ET/5 PT, only on WWE Network!
