How to Book : Lesnar vs. Nakamura

One of the greatest superstars in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), Shinsuke Nakamura is one of the sport's best hitters. It helped him gain the nickname "King of Strong Style", and a potential icon who can beat the "Beast Incarnate" Brock Lesnar. But what if these two could have met again in the ring? Here is an article of how you could book the match of these two superstars.

Nakamura's Resume

Hailing from Japan, Nakamura is the newest signee of WWE and is currently dominating NXT. His versatile offense and flamboyant style makes him a charismatic character to WWE's U.S-based audiences. His signature move "Bomaye" (or in NXT, was called Kinshasa), is a very powerful move that can match Lesnar's dominating F5. Aside from Nakamura's offense, he also have unique mat and submission skills that can make "the Beast" tap out.

How to Book the Matchup?

Lesnar returned to WWE Raw after Summerslam, and decides to call anyone from the roster who could face him. Nobody answers in the back, making "the Beast" more angry. He tried to call out three times: one, nobody comes out; two, nobody comes out, and on third and last attempt, someone comes out, and it's not anyone from the Raw roster, but it is somewhat different -- Nakamura's theme starts to play and the Japanese superstar heads to the ring, resulting to a huge pop.

Lesnar is trolling and makes fun out of Nakamura's entrance, which Nakamura didn't like, they undergo a stare down, then Nakamura punched Lesnar in the face which angered "the Beast", tackling Nakamura. The two were separated by WWE officials, ending the episode.

The next week, Raw general manager Stephanie Mcmahon and commissioner Mick Foley comes to the ring to announce the next PPV which is Night of Champions.

Then suddenly, Lesnar's theme starts playing, and "the Beast" comes out along with his mouthpiece Paul Heyman.

Heyman insisted that since the PPV was named Night of Champions, and his client is not allowed to enter nor interfere with the Universal Championship match, Lesnar wants a match slot at NOC, and face Nakamura, Stephanie tries to calm down Lesnar but he just grabbed Foley and gave him an F5.

Nakamura appeared on the titantron, telling "the Beast" that its his pleasure to see Lesnar again, and if Lesnar thinks he is still that person that Brock had a match with years ago, then he is dead wrong.

The Result of the Match

It was a match filled with back and forth moves and reversals -- Lesnar give Nakamura a barrage of suplexes, taking him to Suplex City, while Nakamura answered with a series of kicks and punches. Lesnar rushed Nakamura in the corner, but Nakamura was able to evade the attack, and laid Lesnar on the corner then furiously stomps him, giving him "Good Vibrations".

Lesnar locks in a Kimura to the arm of Nakamura, while he reversed it with an armbar, and excites the crowd. Lesnar tries to reach the rope but can't get out of that armbar, so he tried to lift Nakamura and gave him a powerbomb. He tries to pin Nakamura but nope.

The match ended when Nakamura pinned Lesnar with a basic schoolboy. Nakamura left the ring with a smile, since he out-thinks "the Beast", while Lesnar, in anger destroys the ring stairs in disbelief.

The winner: Shinsuke Nakamura via pinfall.
