5 dream matches for Aleister Black outside WWE

#2 Aleister Black vs. KENTA

Alright, Aleister Black technically already had this match at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III. Unfortunately for both of them, it's more of a forgotten gem as that show is remembered more for the creation of the Undisputed Era and Adam Cole's debut.

One wrong move ruined his entire WWE career - Watch Now!

Since leaving WWE back in 2019, KENTA returned to NJPW, where he quickly shocked the world when joining the Bullet Club. He's really shone through after that. His bouts with Lance Archer, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Evil, and more really gave wrestling fans a chance to see what was lacking in his WWE run. And while his time in 205 Live is unjustly overlooked, KENTA and Hideo Itami are two different characters.

Much like Eric Young in the previous slide, KENTA is a completely different beast from Hideo Itami. At full speed, Aleister Black and KENTA could give us a stellar strong-style match. Following that, Black could face off against other Bullet Club members before going after a title. Maybe IWGP US Champion Jon Moxley. Seems like fun, yeah?
