Kushida def. The Velveteen Dream

Kushida def. The Velveteen Dream

Kushida let the NXT Universe know that he is absolutely vicious, and he showed it at NXT TakeOver 31, nearly tearing The Velveteen Dream’s arm off to back up his words with concrete proof.

The Velveteen Dream once again tried to use mind games to get in his opponent’s head, but Kushida was having none of it, ambushing Dream in the middle of his entrance. Kushida was relentless from the bell, pummeling Dream into the canvas before locking on grueling submission holds. However, His Purple Highness caught Kushida off-guard on the arena floor and took control of the bout.

Velveteen Dream feels the wrath of Kushida’s heightened aggression before the bell even sounds. Catch WWE action on WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.

After escaping a sleeper hold, Kushida turned the tides in brutal fashion, repeatedly slamming his rival’s shoulder into the steel ring post, then dropkicking Dream’s arm as it was trapped between the ring steps and the ring apron.

The Velveteen Dream fought back and staggered Kushida briefly, but he was seemingly not prepared for the true brutality that lied within his opponent. Kushida slammed Dream off the top rope and immediately cinched in the Hoverboard Lock, never letting go. Even after Dream got back to his feet and hit a Dream Valley Driver, Kushida did not let go of the hold until Dream tapped out.

After the bell, Kushida was not satisfied with his victory, and he continued to brutalize Dream and wrench away at his arm. The vicious Kushida had to be pulled off his rival as The Velveteen Dream’s cries of pain echoed through the Capitol Wrestling Center. If this is the new Kushida, will anyone be able to stop this vicious Superstar?
