Beast in the East 2015
Lesnar manhandled Kingston at the event

The Ryougoku Hall in Tokyo laid witness to the first and only Beast in the East event. The stage was set up to give the traditional live event feel to the 8000-odd spectators.

The show started with a hurried video discussing the return of Brock Lesnar to Japan along with the highly awaited NXT Championship match.

Jericho and Neville kicked-off the show and displayed terrific in-ring skills. Brock Lesnar decimated Kofi Kingston.

Finn Balor and Kevin Owens tore down the show in what was one of the best matches of the year.

The Divas match and the main event featuring a tag team match between John Cena and Dolph Ziggler versus King Barrett and Kane were the only two typical matches you would get in any live event.

Jericho, Lesnar, and Balor were undoubtedly over at Japan. It was smart for WWE to feature them in the event.

The Demon King's victory over Owens made him the first wrestler to win the NXT championship outside Florida.

He would hold on to the title for another 292 days before losing to Samoa Joe. His reign helped NXT a lot in elevating its status as a show that could compete with Raw and Smackdown.
