10 Upcoming Wrestling Matches That Will Blow Everyone Away
6. Brock Lesnar Vs. Samoa Joe
WWE pulled a minor shock by having Samoa Joe emerge victorious from Extreme Rules 2017’s number one contendership bout on June 4th. Many expected Finn Bálor or Seth Rollins to take the victory, and challenge WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at Great Balls Of Fire, but Joe scored the win by choking Bálor unconscious, thus establishing him as a credible opponent for the soon-to-return ‘Beast Incarnate.’
Brock is set to appear on three episodes of Raw prior to July 9th, and after Joe choked Paul Heyman out on this week’s show, he’ll be seeking his contender’s blood. This rivalry promises to get very violent, very quickly, leading to what should be a brutal pay-per-view main event, despite the seemingly predictable outcome.
Lesnar’s victory is almost certain, and Joe has definitely declined physically over the year, but this promises to be a great brawl regardless. If WWE stick to a succinct 10-12 match and let these two tear into one another in a non-stop sprint, Joe vs. Brock is going to rule.
They’re two of the stiffest wrestlers in the company, and definitely the most intense, so if you’re a fan of big lads hitting each other really, really hard, this should be right up your street.
