5 Dream matches for John Cena in NXT

John Cena has emerged as one of the biggest names in the history of professional wrestling.

He has fought legends and future stars in his time with the company. While he has faced many future stars, there are still some left whom he needs to compete with.

The current NXT roster is comprised of some of the industry's most talented stars. They step it up a notch every week and that is why NXT is currently the best show on WWE. While there are many dream matches for the current NXT stars, let's talk about their dream matches with John Cena--

#5 Tomasso Ciampa

While John Cena may be one of the very best babyfaces of all time, Tommaso Ciampa is without a doubt one of the most hated heels in the history of professional wrestling. Cena portraying the role of a clean-cut babyface, with Ciampa playing his foil as the vicious heel; is a storyline that writes itself!

While there fans may have to wait for a while before Ciampa is called up to the WWE main roster, it makes all the sense in the world for the WWE to book a feud between him and Cena.

Ciampa is perhaps one of the most underrated performers in the professional wrestling business today. The talented youngster is not only great in the promo department, but also incredibly deft in the mat wrestling realm of the game.

Furthermore, a quality possessed by Ciampa in oodles is that of unbridled athleticism. In simple terms, Ciampa is perhaps one of the most overlooked athletes today.

Now, granted that the WWE comprises several excellent athletes, however, Ciampa is a performer who breaks the traditional mold of what one expects from an athletic WWE performer.

Firstly, he’s gifted with great cardio—in addition to which, Ciampa also seems to be deceptively strong. His built is somewhat lean, especially compared to someone like John Cena, and that in turn would provide a beautiful clash of styles when the duo do battle with one another inside the squared circle.

Many hardcore fans would love to see the match between Face of the company and The Best Heel in the world. The match would be a pure classic and we would be looking forward to this one.

#4 Velveteen Dream

The Velveteen Dream is one of the most charismatic performers in NXT. He puts on Match of the Year candidates at every NXT TakeOver event; and has the best mic skills in NXT.

Velveteen Dream is only 22, but has garnered attention from all around the world--even from future WWE Hall of Famer, John Cena.

John Cena praised Velveteen and himself stated in an interview that he would love to face Velveteen Dream.

It is obvious that both the men want to face each other and might produce a match for the ages. We all know that it'll be a while before Dream arrives on the main roster, and we may have to wait a little longer.

While Velveteen is the most charismatic wrestler, John Cena is the most passionate wrestler. Not only it will help Velveteen get the 'Spotlight' he deserves, it might also help him emerge as a top star in WWE. The spotlight belongs to "The Dream". Let us see how it goes in the future.

#3 Ricochet

Ricochet is arguably one of the best wrestlers in WWE. He has the skills, charisma and ability that make him a star.

He's already made a name for himself on the Indies, he made his debut in NXT in a five-star match.

While there are many dream matches for Ricochet in WWE, there is always one stored with The Face that Runs the place, John Cena. Everyone knows, John Cena performs exceptionally well against smaller opponents(see his matches against AJ Styles, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio).

Ricochet is too big a star to stay in NXT for long--hence, there is likely little time left for him before he heads towards the main roster. A match against John Cena will boost the career of Ricochet in WWE and give us a dream showdown.

#2 Johnny Gargano

Johnny Gargano is undoubtedly the best wrestler on the NXT roster and one of the world's best performers. The biggest babyface on the NXT roster has all the tools that are required to be a successful wrestler on the main roster.

He is currently in an excellent rivalry, against Tomasso Ciampa for the NXT Championship.

His recent performances give us a glimpse of what he can do with bigger stars. There are several dream matches for him on the main roster.

John Cena is one of the biggest stars of the WWE, and seeing Gargano and Cena in the same ring is a dream come true.

We know Cena and Gargano can put on a show for the ages. However, Johnny Gargano might not arrive on the main roster for a while considering his rivalry with Tomasso Ciampa might last longer.

#1 Adam Cole

Is there any current NXT dream match better than Adam Cole for John Cena.

There is no star bigger and better than Adam Cole on NXT. Cole is the current leader of The Undisputed Era and the inaugural and current NXT North American Champion.

He, with Undisputed Era, has been dominating NXT since arriving last year in August. Cole is arguably the most charismatic wrestler in WWE today.

There is no opponent better for John Cena than Adam Cole. Cole is promising and definitely needs to be in a match with Cena.

While there are ongoing rumors of Adam Cole joining the main roster after SummerSlam, we have to wait till 2019 (considering the return of John Cena). This match is certainly going to tear the house down and expect Adam Cole to "Shock John Cena" whenever this match happens.
