10 WWE Feuds That Must Happen In 2017

1. Nakamura Vs. Lesnar

When Nakamura is called up to the main roster, it needs to be treated as a huge deal. He has top babyface potential if booked right, and he can really help open up new markets for the company. He needs a big opponent right off the bat to make the statement that he’s a major player. That man should be Brock Lesnar.

It’s time for Brock to help get someone over. He has limited appearances, and Vince McMahon keeps wasting them. While the matches we're given may be exciting, they're not helping build the future, as WWE has delivered multiple bouts with John Cena and Triple H, then one-offs with Randy Orton and Goldberg. Missing in all of that is someone who will actually benefit from the match in the long run. Nakamura would be a guy who could receive a tremendous rub from their feud.

The promo work from Paul Heyman has the high probably of being fantastic, as he would really put over Nakamura in a way that almost no one else can.

The match itself could be a blast as well. While Nakamura is half the size of Lesnar, his stiff offense would make him look credible. It’s a contrast of personalities and in-ring styles that could lead to a classic. Hopefully the company keeps Lesnar strong for when this goes down, as they need the moment of his epic fall at the hands of someone new to feel as big as humanly possible.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
