Ranking The 10 Biggest Wrestling Matches Coming In September

However, before The Villain can face off against his longtime rival in a Juniors tournament, he has to go up against a heavyweight... one of the best heavyweights in wrestling history.

Of the dream matches taking place at All In, this one is the most fascinating on paper. New Japan typically doesn't have their juniors and heavyweights mingling in singles action, save for special occasions. In the world of NJPW, there's a clear hierarchy where the juniors can almost never defeat the heavyweights.

This distinction has played (albeit comedically) into the buildup of this match. On a recent episode of Being the Elite, Okada was asked about his opponent, and he answered: "well, he's short... he's small... I guess this is his last match before he goes to 205 Live."

Such a dig has dug into Marty's psyche on the show, and given how much Being the Elite is being used to tell the stories of All In, it will no doubt play into the psychology of the match.

Whether or not Scurll stands a chance, this match will be an epic clash of styles and a chance to see Okada tangle with a totally different type of performer than what we're used to.
