Lesnar failed to cash-in Money in the Bank but remains the contract holder, though this wasn't always the plan.

#3 NXT TakeOver New Japan

WWE United Kingdom Champion WALTER is looking ahead to the show in August.

WWE NXT and New Japan Pro Wrestling are two of the most consistently-praised aspects of professional wrestling in 2019.

Both have their fair share of die-hard fans who support the product no matter what, though a war has been started between the two entities.

On August 31, NXT's UK branch will host a TakeOver show in Cardiff, Wales, the very same night that New Japan will be hosting their Royal Quest show just a few hours away in London, England.

This is reportedly deliberate, as the Wrestling Observer noted that WWE reportedly contacted a ticket company to see how the NJPW show was doing, and after discovering that tickets haven't been selling too well, decided to have the NXT UK TakeOver show on the very same night, directly competing with Royal Quest for sales.
