2. Shinsuka Nakamura (c) Vs. AJ Styles
It would be no stretch to say that in 2015, New Japan's Big Three became a definite Big Four. AJ Styles proved himself to be no foreign flash in the pan, having a second run with the IWGP Heavyweight Title that proved far more successful financially than the first. He put in another stellar performance in the G1 Climax, and is now firmly ensconced in the main event scene of New Japan. At Wrestle Kingdom 10 however, he will come up against the coolest professional wrestler in the world. Shinsuke Nakamura is a special, special performer, with every little thing he does in the ring (and out of it) imbued with something that 99.9% of human beings seem to lack. The man is the very definition of charisma. At last year's event, Nakamura defended his Intercontinental Title against Kota Ibushi in what was a match of the year contender, and if this match with AJ is anything less than that many will be shocked. Styles is suffering with injuries at the moment, but if all goes well he will be good and ready to face Nak on January 4th. I cannot wait.
