4 potential opponents for Aleister Black at SummerSlam 2019

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura

Nakamura has been on a roll for the past few weeks

The King of Strong Style has been on a hot streak as of late. After defeating Finn Balor twice within six days and capturing the Intercontinental Championship in the process, some time away from the ring seemed to have worked wonders for the Japan Superstar. Shinsuke Nakamura looks more focused and lethal than ever.

Nakamura doesn't have an opponent announced for SummerSlam yet. Ali was teased to be in next in line for an IC Title shot against Nakamura on SmackDown a few weeks ago. The duo had a championship match at Sackville on Saturday, which Nakamura won convincingly. If WWE is indeed grooming Black to be the next big thing, which by the looks of it they most certainly are, they need to put him up against an opponent who can test his limit. Nakamura is that opponent for Black.

Nakamura and Black have an eerily similar style which is heavily influenced by Japanese puroresu, drawing elements from various Martial Arts disciplines. Both of them use strikes and stiff kicks very frequently during their matches. A match between the two has the potential to be an absolute barnburner.
