Why Triple H Was Kept Off NXT Takeover, More NXT Stars In His Entrance, Nakamura's Name And Finisher

- As Raj noted, several WWE NXT talents including NXT Champion Finn Balor were under masks in Triple H's WrestleMania 32 entrance. The Wrestling Observer reported that others in the entrance included NXT Tag Team Champion Chad Gable, Hideo Itami, referee Drake Weurtz, Scott Dawson, Dash Wilder, Simon Gotch, Blake, Murphy, Elias Samson, Enzo Amore, Danilo Anfibio, Christopher Girard and Shawn Bennett.

- As seen at WWE NXT "Takeover: Dallas" on Friday, Shinsuke Nakamura made his debut and defeated Sami Zayn with the Bomaye. That move is now called the Kinshasa. On a related note, Nakamura will be keeping his first name for now but that could change when he gets to WWE's main roster.

- Many fans pointed out how Triple H did not open the Takeover event in Dallas like he has done at recent Takeover events in London and Brooklyn. Apparently this was a Vince McMahon call as he did not want Triple H playing babyface during the show because he was going into the WrestleMania 32 WWE World Heavyweight Title match against Roman Reigns as a heel.
