Let's face facts - this year's WrestleMania looks like it could easily be the weakest in recent memory. While the undercard could be great, only one of the show's three main events inspires any confidence. The title match is the latest culmination of a Roman Reigns babyface push that simply hasn't worked, while the most-hyped bout on the show features Shane McMahon. Luckily for fans in Dallas, there'll be another show that weekend that will blow WrestleMania out of the water. NXT TakeOver: Dallas looks to be the most stacked NXT card yet, with a championship rematch between Finn Balor and Samoa Joe headlining. Bayley will defend the Women's Title against Asuka while The Revival defend the Tag Titles against American Alpha, and world-class talents Apollo Crews and Austin Aries will be in action. Oh, and Shinsuke Nakamura will make his WWE debut against Sami Zayn. Tickets are sold out and going for more than $200 apiece on the secondary market. Truth be told, WWE probably could have held this show at AT&T Stadium as well. Wherever it airs from and however you manage to see it, though, it's the most must-see event of the weekend - even including WrestleMania.
