AEW and WWE are considered the two best wrestling companies in the world. Since Tony Khan built his company as the top rival to the Stamford-based promotion, many former superstars have become All Elite once their respective contracts with WWE expired.

Similarly, we have seen stars from one company move to the other, while the two companies have been linked to several free agents lately.

As the rivalry continues to intensify, we will look at four dream crossover matches that could take place between superstars from the two promotions.

#4. Bryan Danielson vs CM Punk

10 WWE Stars Who Are Now Banned - Find Out Now!

12 years ago, CM Punk had reached his peak as the WWE Champion, while Bryan Danielson, who was wrestling as Daniel Bryan, was about to get a massive push, which went as far as becoming the world champion a few years later.

The two had a feud over the WWE Championship, where the Best in the World stood tall and retained his title, while their rivalry also involved CM Punk's real-life wife, AJ Lee.

CM Punk had a stint with AEW before returning to the Stamford-based company in November 2023. Thus, challenging Bryan Danielson and re-igniting the feud would make sense.

#3. Kenny Omega vs Cody Rhodes

The two men are considered two of the best wrestlers in the world. They also helped AEW evolve into a top wrestling promotion. The two have revolutionized the business and continue to thrive.

Kenny Omega is considered one of AEW's faces, while Cody Rhodes eventually finished his story, becoming the Undisputed Champion and emerging as WWE's face.

#2. Jon Moxley vs Seth Rollins

Jon Moxley had an impressive run with WWE as Dean Ambrose. First as part of The Shield, alongside Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, then in singles run.

Moxley left the Stamford-based promotion several years ago and has clarified that he has no desire to return. Meanwhile, Rollins is one of the top superstars in WWE, and a dream match with Jon Moxley would help re-ignite their feud.

A decade ago, The Visionary had a heel turn and assaulted both Ambrose and Reigns on his way to the top, ending his time with the Shield.

At Money in the Bank 2024, John Cena officially announced that he would retire from wrestling next year. He will have a farewell tour across the main roster and premium live events.

Cena is expected to have many dream matches during his farewell tour, and one of them could have been against Chris Jericho.

Both are considered wrestling legends, while Jericho has thrived during his time with AEW. Thus, it would make sense for the two icons to have a match before the Cenation Leader officially retires from wrestling at 48.
