5 Things Shinsuke Nakamura needs to do before his WWE career ends

#1 Face Brock Lesnar

Shinsuke Nakamura speaks about Brock Lesnar in his new book

It remains to be seen if Brock Lesnar will continue his part-time deal with WWE when he inevitably returns to UFC in 2019. If he stays, one of the biggest matches he could still have in WWE would be with Shinsuke Nakamura.

Writing in his new book ‘King of Strong Style: 1980-2014’, Nakamura said he was reduced to tears after his NJPW match against Lesnar in 2006 – not because he lost, but because he “didn’t get the sense that he [Lesnar] had any love for pro wrestling”.

It would be difficult to build a rivalry about this right now – both guys are major heels on separate brands – but a blockbuster feud further down the line has the potential to blur the lines between storyline and reality.
