AEW v WWE

[tiger_rick]

Not another one of them threads. Tribal Warriors, get your pitchforks ready!

Actually, no, it's not another one of them threads.

What dream matches, if any, has the presence of AEW and WWE for the last 5 years created?

I think the Dream Match concept was almost dead a few years ago. Almost all scenarios would have involved someone coming back from the dead or becoming Benjamin Button. But has 5 years of AEW existing created cross-brand dream matches, or even ones that are possible with the various jumps (Edge, Bryan, Punk, Cody, etc) but haven't happened yet. What do you want to see?

This one is a slight cop-out given it's happened but I really want to see Roman Reigns vs. Jon Moxley. Not fussed for the ultra-violent match style but the promos and character of Mox in AEW against the cool motherfucker Roman has become would be phenomenal. if there's ever an Invasion 2 PPV, this is what I want on top.

John Cena v MJF, with Max as the snivelling ex-Superfan, while a bit of a retread on the Punk stuff, would be ace. Promo wars between these two would definitely be the best or worst thing you've ever seen.

Sheamus v Powerhouse Hobbs. What a meatfest that would be. I'd really like to see Sheamus in AEW full stop. I think that's got loads of potential on a Christian scale.

CM Punk v Jack Perry. An obvious one. Just me?

Kenny Omega in WWE has to happen doesn't it? He's be great against Roman, Punk, Drew and Sami. Has he faced Cody? I can't remember. Either way, Kenny vs. anyone is probably as interesting as anyone jumping besides a Darby Allin or OC. 

Gunther v Will Ospreay. Loads of possibilities for Gunther but this would be insane with Will's agility and Gunther's brain. Do this one champ v champ on Invasion 2!

I'd love to see Omega in WWE, as long as he can still be Omega...I would hope he'd have a AJ styles type transition rather than the more lacklustre way Shinsuke was/is still portrayed. As long as he keeps his style pretty much as is and can adapt it slightly to fit there could be some great "dream" matches.

Some may have been done before but maybe not where "the world is watching"

Omega v AJ
Omega v Sami
Omega v KO

as well as Punk and Cody...basically yeah, get Omega in ASAP.

Reigns vs Moxley is top of my list - and it actually gives me two dream matches. Heel Tribal Chief Reigns vs babyface Moxley is interesting, and babyface Reigns vs the current heel Moxkey character is interesting in a completely different way.

Reigns vs Hangman Page really interests me, both as a feud and a match - and Page vs Gunther would be an absolute banger.

I’m not so sure I’d care about the feud, but I’d love to see Eddie Kingston and Sheamus batter the shit out of one another. 

And actually, Kingston vs Cena is a feud that is find seriously interesting. The dynamic between the two could be very watchable indeed. Did Moxley and Cena ever feud in WWE? I don’t remember seeing it, and that’s another match I’d be curious to see - more for the promo work than the wrestling. 

Drew McIntyre vs Eddie Kingston would be a tremendous feud, I suspect and I’d also be up for McIntyre vs Hangman, and McIntyre vs Ospreay.

MJF needs the right opponent to get the best out of him from a character perspective, and for that reason I’d like to see MJF vs Punk and MJF vs Cody again. Yes, the matches have happened - but both rivalries feel unresolved. 

In the Women’s Division, I’d love to see Willow Nightingale vs Rhea Ripley, and Willow vs Charlotte. Toni Storm woukd have some fun interactions with Rhea, I suspect - so I’d be well up for a feud between the two.

I would pay good money to watch Takeshita against Gunther. 

[Hannibal Scorch]

The Outrunners vs New Day. I will not be elaborating further.

[Infinity Land]

Swerve v Cena. Look at Swerve's handled himself with Sting, babyface Hangman, Ospreay & Danielson he'd excel working with whatever Cena has left to give. Right crowd and Nana in his corner drumming up support it might be the closest thing to recreating the RVD v Cena ONS2 vibe. 

[SuperBacon]

Randy Orton vs Will Ospreay please.

[RedTwoster]

Cody vs Christian Cage would be a brilliant match, and I imagine the dynamic between the two in the build-up would be very watchable. 

Did Bianca Belair or Rhea Ripley ever face Athena when she was in WWE? I think I’d enjoy that a lot.

Bayley vs Willow Nightingale could also be interesting- Willow is essentially what Bayley used to be character-wise, and they’d probably have a sensational match.

I dunno if it was a feud, but if I’m remembering correctly, Ambrose vs Cena in a #1 contender’s match was booked, which mysteriously became a contract on a pole match after it was decided that Ambrose was going over.

Lesnar vs Allin. Just imagine Brock throwing Darby around the ring. And just like when he faces smaller guys like Bryan, AJ etc, he sells great against those opponents when they make a comeback.
 

Sheamus vs Takeshita 

 

[Supremo]

When I sleep at night, I dream of Orange Cassidy vs. Randy Orton.

[King Pitcos]

CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre, ultimately
