At 52 years of age, there is no man more violent in the ring than NJPW's Minoru Suzuki. The current NEVER Openweight Champion is known for his hard hitting contests as well as being one of the scariest men in professional wrestling today. Something that might not be known is that Brock Lesnar coming to New Japan Pro Wrestling would not be his first experience.

Back in 2005, Brock Lesnar returned to the wrestling world after his time in WWE by joining NJPW. On October 8th, 2005, Lesnar defeated Kazuyuki Fujita and Masahiro Chono in a three way match to win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at the Tokyo Dome in his debut match with the promotion. Although he had a well documented falling out with New Japan with him being stripped of the title, The Beast returning to NJPW would be something that would excite the fanbase especially for matches like this.

I Highly Recommend Minoru Suzuki vs Yuji Nagata - (New Japan Cup 2020 First Round Match - Suzuki & Nagata are 52 and they just had by far the most physical wrestling match of the year! Two students of the original Strong Style showing what that style is all about. pic.twitter.com/R8xo61TBx2

Minoru Suzuki has not slowed up at all with his in-ring intensity in 2020 with fantastic matches against the likes of Jon Moxley, Yuji Nagata and most recently Shingo Takagi. One of the few people outside of NJPW who could handle Suzuki in-ring is The Next Big Thing. The King of Pro Wrestling is someone who could motivate Brock Lesnar to have the physically demanding brawls that The Beast has excelled in over recent years.

Similar to AEW, it is also unlikely that Brock Lesnar would jump to NJPW. However, the promotion does bring a multitude of interesting matchups for The Beast. Another would be someone who would represent New Japan as a stalwart against this invading enemy.
