Shinsuke Nakamura
During the Extreme Rules kickoff show in July, Shinsuke Nakamura captured the Intercontinental Championship from Finn Balor after a lengthy hiatus from WWE television. In the eyes of many fans, Shinsuke Nakamura is long overdue one of his top tier, strong style encounters that he was known for back during his NXT days, as well as his legendary run in New Japan. If WWE want to bring Nakamura back to prominence by reminding people how brilliant of a performer he is, let him showcase his talents against Buddy Murphy.
With him making such a splash as of late, it makes perfect sense for Murphy's efforts to be rewarded with a title opportunity. The Intercontinental Championship gained a reputation for being the 'workhorse' title over the years, and nobody embodies that style much better today than Buddy Murphy does, making it the perfect target for the former Cruiserweight Champion to set his sights on.
The King of Strong Style and the Best Kept Secret battling over the Intercontinental Championship could be a barrage of brutal knee strikes, masterful counters and hard-hitting action of the finest quality. Give them the opportunity, and let them blow the WWE Universe away.
