WWE WrestleMania 31: 10 Matches That Would Make The Perfect Event

8. NXT Title: Sami Zayn Vs. Hideo Itami

You want NXT to mean more, WWE? Put the NXT Title on the line at WrestleMania. Triple H has talked about wanting NXT to be a brand like WCW meaning he wants it to be seen like a big deal. That's great. Now they just have to prove to us that they mean what they say. Let's assume that Zayn beats Adrian Neville for the NXT Title possibly in December. They can announce soon after that the winner of a #1 Contender's tournament gets to face Zayn at WrestleMania 31. The winner is the Japanese superstar formerly known as KENTA, Hideo Itami. We have read for months that WWE wants to grow their product in Japan. That's great. There's no better way to do that than to put Itami in a title match at his first WrestleMania. It wouldn't be a bad idea to involve other NXT guys in the match because there are so many talented guys, but as you'll see later I have a few other multi-man matches already. It's better if this is just one on one. This would be a 10-13 minute match where they were allowed to go all out and show what they could do in a face vs. face style match. In the end, Itami wins while Zayn finally starts on the main roster soon after.
