RAW vs SmackDown vs NXT: 5 dream matches between the three brands

#3 Aleister Black vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Samoa Joe

We can't have a dream card without 'The King of Strong'

Aleister Black:

Black is one of the most exciting prospects in all of NXT and WWE right now. After some spectacular performances, it almost feels like we're still yet to see the true potential in the Dutchman. As a prominent Kick-boxer, some people might have believed Black to be one dimensional, but after putting on the match of the night against Velveteen Dream last month, showing off his wrestling ability, he must be now considered a future main eventer.

After winning multiple championships in the independent circuit, across 16 years, Black is still undefeated in NXT in singles competition. And I for one, am looking forward to the future of the WWE with Aleister Black involved.

Shinsuke Nakamura:

'The King of Strong', globally known as one of the best professional wrestlers in history, truly belongs on the biggest stage of them all. He's a born entertainer, with his unique, flamboyant and charismatic style, he became a multi-time champion in NJPW. He put on classics with legends in the sport, one of the most famous of all time being against AJ Styles at Wrestle Kingdom 10.

Nakamura held three IWGP Heavyweight championships, in which his first made him the youngest ever IWGP Heavyweight champion in history. Nakamura signed to WWE's developmental territory in 2016, much to the delight of the fans, eventually holding the NXT World championship for a record two-times, before getting promoted to Smackdown

Samoa Joe:

'The Samoan Submission Machine' is a special sort of talent, with an arsenal of dangerous strikes, airborne attacks and submission hold. But perhaps, it's the fact that he can back up his in-ring skills with the natural ability to use the mic to instil fear in his opponents. Joe has it all and has done it all in the business, except being a WWE World Heavyweight champion.

In his fifteen years prior to NXT, Joe was dominant across ROH, TNA and the independent circuit, holding multiple world championships. His dominance didn't subside whilst wrestling in NXT, being the only other man, alongside Nakamura, to have held the NXT World Championship on two separate occasions. And now on Monday night RAW, each of his opponents must know there's a good chance that; Joe is gonna' kill them.

If they fought:

This would be like if Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li squared off, as the strike power of this trio would make for a very hard-hitting affair indeed. Each man has strong backgrounds in martial arts and working on the independent circuit. And each one can also put on a clinic when it comes to professional wrestling.

Aleister Black is on a roll recently and WWE must be considering him as a future world champion. But his time will have to wait because both Joe and Nakamura are now fully settled into RAW and Smackdown respectively and it's just a matter of time before both taste more gold. In this contest, I can see Nakamura tasting it first, with his opponents only tasting a deadly Kinshasa.

Result: Shinsuke Nakamura win

NXT 1 - RAW 1 - Smackdown 1
