5 big matches WWE could be planning for Aleister Black at SummerSlam

#1 Aleister Black vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Ali

Giving the Intercontinental Championship the respect it deserves

With almost all individual Championships booked to be defended at SummerSlam, the exclusion of the Intercontinental Championship seems a bit absurd.

While the current feud between Shinsuke Nakamura and Ali seems promising, it would be very early to push the former 205 Live Superstar to the top of the mountain. Presenting him as an underdog would be the right thing to do, and in this case, adding Aleister Black at the very last-minute could prove to be decisive in further developing these three characters, especially Ali.

After his impressive performances ever since he made his transition to the main roster, Black certainly deserves the opportunity to fight for the Intercontinental Championship.

Since Nakamura is the heel in this feud, the company could protect him from taking the pin, with Black eventually knocking Ali after an outstanding performance. Nakamura deserves to be protected, Black deserves to win, and Ali deserves to be respected. If presented correctly, this could be the match that brings the Intercontinental Championship back to the top.
