Duke Hudson Defeats Ikemen Jiro In Opening Round Of NXT Breakout Tournament
The NXT Breakout Tournament began on this week’s episode of NXT and it was Duke Hudson securing the first victory. Hudson took on Ikeman Jiro in the first round bout of the tournament. Jiro looked to have some offensive fun against Hudson, but a bit of snake eyes accompanied by a hammer throw leveled the fun-haver.
Fully jacketed for the entire match, Jiro did fight back against Hudson and even locked in a tarantula against his opponent, but the protege of Tajiri fell prey to Duke’s power. Hudson hit Jiro hard with a European uppercut and did end up getting the 1-2-3 when Duke laid a Bossman Slam on Ikeman in the center of the ring.

KOR said that losing is a part of the world of wrestling but fully plans to “finish” Adam Cole after the heinous acts he’s pulled against him.
