Shinsuke Nakamura and Samoa Joe Busted Open During NXT Takeover Dallas

As seen at WWE NXT Takeover Dallas tonight, both Shinsuke Nakamura and Samoa Joe were busted open the hard way during their respective matches.

Nakamura’s nose was busted open, but the wound was minor enough that it did not require much attention from the referee.

Samoa Joe, however, suffered a significant cut above his eye, and it produced a lot of blood. Joe was tended to several times during the match which prompted such crowd chants as “F**k PG”, “Let Joe bleed”, “Bulls**t” and more. The match continued to the finish and Finn Balor ended up retaining his WWE NXT Title.
