5 dream matches for The Rock in AEW

#4 The Rock vs MJF

A cornerstone of The Rock's success was his charismatic way with words, both when lambasting his opposition and when he was taking the time to remind the world of his talent. His charismatic penchant for comedic timing and expression shone through as he verbally ran circles around his peers.

In that respect, The Rock may well find a worthy challenger in MJF. The two both share in-ring talent and are capable of producing when the bell rings, but it is their mic skills that make this such a dream concept for fans.

MJF is currently embroiled in a feud with childhood hero CM Punk, and where other large names have seemed out of their depth against the former WWE Champion it would appear that MJF is not only capable of holding his own, but thrives in this environment.

Rock-MJF is a dream match for the promo work alone, with both men devoid of a filter and capable of crafting stories purely with their interactions.

#3 The Rock vs Jon Moxley

Throughout the Rock's career he has stood opposite a wide variety of legendary adversaries. Names like John Cena, Triple H and Mick Foley have fallen to the People's Champion, but the majority of fans will agree that the yin-yang rival for The Rock is Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Austin and Rock were two era-defining stars of their time, and their legacy is still felt to this day. But with Austin long-since retired, their chapter has well and truly come to a close.

Many comparisons have been drawn between former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and Austin. Mox arrived in AEW by going straight for the top names in the company, beating the likes of Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho and cementing himself as the lone renegade always up for a fight.

Moxley and The Rock have an unresolved history. The the former was known as Dean Ambrose and ran roughshod through the roster with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns as the SHIELD. During the championship feud between Punk and The Rock, the trio would attack the latter at the seeming behest of the former.

Although the People's Champion overcame the odds to capture the championship, we would never see just desserts handed out to the Hounds of Justice. Instead of looking to the Tribal Chief, The Rock could return to wrestling with AEW and instead take on the SHIELD member who found solace outside WWE.
