It's a big call considering the main event of this TakeOver special, and rising to the same level as Shinsuke Nakamura's bout with Sami Zayn would be an extremely difficult task. However, Nakamura's meeting with Austin Aries has the potential on paper to be the match we're all talking about once the night is over.

Although all the talk since Dallas has been about Shinsuke Nakamura, how we remember this match mostly falls on Aries' shoulders.

It may be a storyline, but Aries has been comprehensively overshadowed by Nakamura's star. His match against Baron Corbin at Dallas was a throwaway on just about any event, but was even more underwhelming when Nakamura and Zayn produced what they did in the very next match.

For the first time in what must feel a long while, The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived has something to prove. Luckily for him, he has all the tools in front of him to produce true greatness - most importantly, a sensational opponent.
