TORONTO -- The first time Samoa Joe won the NXT championship, it came in surprising fashion, as he defeated Finn Balor during an NXT Live Event in Lowell, Massachusetts, in April. His historic second title was just as shocking.?Joe ended Shinsuke Nakamuras unbeaten streak within WWE on Saturday and threw NXTs future for a loop when he regained the title by pinfall at 20 minutes, 12 seconds, in the main event of NXT Takeover:Toronto at the Air Canada Centre.The ring entrances provided everything you would need to know about how differently the two superstars go about their business. Joe swaggered to the ring with all the confidence in the world; then he watched on as Nakamura employed 10 different violinists to play his theme song.Once the introductions were made and the title was held to the sky, their similarities became quite clear, as well. Each men swung their fists and forearms with reckless abandon and accurately conveyed how much their characters despise each other within the storyline.The action spilled out into the crowd, with Joe taking the brunt of it. There was little space for either man to catch a breath in the early going, as every ounce of energy Joe and Nakamura had was poured into laying their opponent to waste. Joe grabbed his first significant edge for a few moments during this sequence, which included a step-up Enziguri kick in one corner and an STO in another.Samoa Joe worked the knee for some time and continued to wear down Nakamuras base (and primary weapon -- the Kinshasa) with a kneebar. It took Nakamura several minutes to escape, and all that rolling out of the ring earned him was a tope suicida to the face, as Joe dove through the middle rope to the outside.Joe recorded the first near-fall of the match, but as has been the case throughout his WWE run, damage only seemed to inspire Nakamura. With a few knees and a corner strike, Nakamura regained control, albeit briefly, because Joe seemed to have an answer for every sequence. He countered with a powerbomb, which led directly into a modified Boston Crab and then an STO.Neither man yielded an inch for most of the match, and it felt right for all these two men have put each other through in the buildup. Both of their finishing moves failed to connect, and even when Nakamura finally hit his Kinshasa, it only drew a two-count. Joe couldnt quite convert a sleeper hold into a Coquina Clutch choke.A cross-armed German suplex combo gave Joe another near-fall, but as soon as he got up from that sequence, Joe was clearly bleeding from the side of his nose. Nakamura seemingly all but knocked Joe out with a knee to the back of the head, which also sent him tumbling out of the ring. But it would be that ringside area that would ultimately be Nakamuras undoing.Joe eventually hit a low blow while the referees back was turned, followed by an STO onto the steel steps and a Muscle Buster in the ring to earn the pinfall, silencing the Toronto crowd.Nakamuras first loss changes things dramatically at the top of NXT. Instead of Joe being written off the brand and sent onto Raw or SmackDown -- as many expected -- a third showdown between Joe and Nakamura becomes inevitable. Nakamuras in-match antics arent quite as forgivable without the perfect record. And while many would hope that one (if not both superstars) will soon be on the main roster, Joes second title reign keeps the top rivalry on NXT white-hot for the near future.For full match recaps and ratings from NXT Takeover: Toronto, click here.

Keith Tkachuk Jersey .Y. -- Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers had no intention of changing his hard-hitting style before taking part in a disciplinary hearing for his illegal check to New Jersey forward Dainius Zubrus head. NEW ORLEANS -- Former New Orleans Saints running back Pierre Thomas told a jury Wednesday that he thought a heated argument between retired Saints star Will Smith and an irate driver had cooled -- but then he heard gunshots and turned to see his friend being gunned down.After the shooting stopped I stood there in shock. Telling myself that didnt happen, Thomas said, his voice shaking. Telling myself he didnt just kill one of my friends, my former teammate.Smiths killer was Cardell Hayes, 29, a former semi-pro football player and owner of a tow-truck business. At dispute in the second-degree murder trial is whether Hayes legitimately feared for his life when both men got out of their cars after a collision to confront each other on a street in New Orleans.Hayes also wounded Smiths wife, Racquel, in the legs, before surrendering to police at the scene.Thomas testimony is the latest to bolster the prosecutions scenario of how the shooting unfolded: The Smiths were out for the evening with friends after a festival in the French Quarter. The group was traveling in three different vehicles when Smiths Mercedes SUV stopped short behind an orange Hummer.Surveillance video appears to show that the SUV may have lightly bumped the Hummer. Smith then steered around it and continued on his way, with the Hummer in pursuit. Moments later, the Hummer rammed into the rear of Smiths vehicle, and both drivers got out and angrily confronted each other.Only Hayes was armed. Police have said a loaded handgun remained in Smiths car.Prosecutors and their witnesses say Racquel had calmed her husband, the argument had subsided when Hayes fired, hitting her in the legs, followed by a bullet to Smiths side and seven more in his back.Defense attorneys John Fuller and Jay Daniels have questioned these witnesses credibility and insisted that Hayes fired in fear that Smith was going for his own gun.While the prosecution says Hayes deliberately rammed his Hummer into the SUV, the defense says the collision was an accident, which they blamed on Hayes being distracted as he tried to report the earlier contact between the vehicles to 911.Fuller noted that Smith had been drinking at the festival, a bar and two restaurants earlier that night, but Thomas insisted that Smith showed no signns of being out of control, and resisted suggestions that he was trying to burnish Smiths image.ddddddddddddI want justice, he told Fuller during his cross-examination.Thomas said he had been in a car ahead of the SUV, and was walking back to the scene after hearing a crash and seeing signs of a wreck in his rearview mirror. He saw Smith being fired upon, then confirmed his fears.Another Smith family friend, Rebecca Dooley testified Wednesday that Hayes shouted taunts at the slain mans body, sounding evil and showing no remorse.Dooley and her husband were riding with Smith and his wife when the Hummer slammed into them.They just both seemed angry: Will saying `You hit my car, `Mr. Hayes saying, `You hit me first, then back and forth, back and forth, Dooley testified.Dooley said her husband and Hayes passenger also had words, and that the passenger took a swing at her husband. But she said no physical contact was made among any of those arguing, and she too thought tempers had calmed.Then, she said: I see Mr. Hayes walking toward Will with a gun pointed at him. I hear shots fired. I see Wills body jolt.Look at you now. You were showing off, Dooley quoted Hayes as saying over Smiths slumped body.It just sounded like there was no remorse -- evil kind of sounding, Dooley testified.Then, she said, I heard Mr. Hayes say, `Wheres that white boy at?At that point I though he was looking for my husband, she said, but no other shots were fired.Contradicting a developing defense narrative, Dooley and Thomas said they never heard Smith threaten to fetch a gun before he was shot.Dooleys husband, Richard Hernandez, also took the stand Wednesday, and the defense pointed to inconsistencies in his testimony as well as a discrepancy between his account and what his wife apparently told police.Fuller noted that Hernandez testified at one point that the drivers were calm after the accident but also said he pulled his shirt off, expecting a fight. Fuller also said that Dooley had told police that Hayes passenger, Kevin ONeal, tried to calm the situation down.But Hernandez, who had argued with ONeal at the scene, characterized ONeal as aggressive.
