#8 WALTER vs. Tomohiro Ishii (WWE vs. NJPW)
The WWE vs. NJPW potential partnership will bring plenty of hard-hitting clashes, but this one would be the banger to end them all. Tomohiro Ishii has been viewed by New Japan fans as one of the best wrestlers in the world for his consistent output of tremendous encounters over the past decade.
For many, he is greatly underappreciated and may go down as the greatest wrestler to never win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. His classics with Katsuyori Shibata, Kazuchika Okada, and Kenny Omega are among the greatest to ever happen in a NJPW ring.
For WWE, there is no one quite like WALTER. The longest reigning champion of the modern era has had a dominant run in NXT UK as their champion. Although he does not have many contests every year, he usually produces not only the match of the night but one of the best matches of the year every time out.
Whether it be this year against Tommasso Ciampa at NXT TakeOver: Stand and Deliver or his all-time great match with Tyler Bate at NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff, he has already made a legacy that stands up to anyone in WWE history.
These two individuals would be an absolutely brutal affair that would have stiff chops and awe-inspiring strikes. No one in WWE can withstand the punishment that WALTER puts on his opponents, but Ishii has proven throughout his career that he not only can but will keep coming for more. This would truly be a once in a lifetime type encounter that would have to be seen to be believed.
