10 NJPW vs WWE dream matches that fans would love to see

#8 Seth Rollins vs Katsuyori Shibata

I’ll be honest when making this list, I didn’t expect these to add this match. But, as I went through NJPW and WWE rosters, I realized that a match between these two can actually be a dream come true for hardcore wrestling fans.

Their styles may be quite different, but that’s what would make this interesting. Rollins has been known to take that extra step to make his matches appear authentic and realistic injuring some of his fellow wrestlers in the process.

Shibata takes that to an extra level when he beats his opponents mercilessly. He even feels disrespected when his opponents don’t hit him hard. Hence, a meeting between these two would be perfect.

Rollins has shown that he isn’t afraid to face any man or beast, and he would do almost anything to solidify himself as "The Man" in WWE.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
