5 Current WWE Cross-Brand Dream Matches 

On Raw, you have Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler, Finn Balor, Drew McIntyre, and more. A match with all of these guys sounds great. Now, on Smackdown Live, you have AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Andrade Cien Almas, Rusev, Samoa Joe, and more. Even better, right?

With all the talent that WWE has on its rosters (even in NXT), think of how many dream matches that could take place. There's so many that haven't happened yet. The longer it takes WWE to give the green light on these matches, shows the fine line between properly teasing matches like these, and just messing with the fans.

Here are 5 current cross-brand dream matches in WWE.

Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles

With Seth Rollins burning it down on Monday nights, and AJ Styles being the champ that runs the camp over on Smackdown Live, it often causes fans to wonder "what if?". They certainly would have a match for the ages as their styles and work rate are second to none when it comes to in-ring competition. Being some of the most talented people on their respective brands really lets you know that they would absolutely bring the house down and send the fans home more than satisfied, making them want more.

Since Rollins is done chasing the Intercontinental Championship (for now), maybe a trade to Smackdown Live will shake things up just enough after Styles and Joe are done feuding. Whether it be for the WWE Championship or not, is beside the point. It goes without saying that Seth and AJ would put on an absolute clinic and with two superstars of their caliber, that will without a doubt, be a hard act to follow.

This is one of those matches where it doesn't matter who the winner is because both superstars are just that good. For example, Edge and Christian vs The Hardy Boyz vs The Dudley Boys at Wrestlemania 17 was a classic, no doubt about it. Nobody really remembers that Edge and Christian were the winners of this match because all three teams poured everything they had into it and they were all made the match what it was, classic.

Since they're both babyfaces, one would probably have to turn heel so the fans can pick a side and be able to justify why. But even without having that sort of dynamic, this match is still on the top of the list when concerning dream matches. It will more than likely be one of those matches where the one who lost gets a standing ovation at the end because both did an amazing job in the match.

Would AJ Styles be able to last this long in a gauntlet match?

If given the chance, could Seth Rollins ever hold his own against Styles?

Naomi vs Ember Moon

Here's a match you didn't know you wanted. After seeing them briefly duke it out at Money in the Bank, there's no doubt that they would put on a classic. Women's matches often get a lot of negative reviews unless both have the ability to carry a match with pure talent. Gone are the days where women are used as a sexual attraction in WWE, so if you're not the female version of AJ Styles, or at least have some sort of wrestling skills then you probably won't get a reaction. *cough* Carmella *cough* *cough*

Taking out the sexual dynamic and treating the women like actual competitors really ups the standards and gives the women a chance to show what they can do inside a ring. Naomi and Moon are perfect for this because they both are very athletic and can put on an entertaining match. Neither of them are strangers to stealing the show with their ability to actually wrestle.

Having them on the same brand would make it almost impossible to not have them feud or at least have one match. Both would benefit from a match like this, especially if they get a lot of time to work with. A lot of the female roster could probably put on a match like Sasha Banks and Bayley did in their iron man match in NXT, they just need more time.

Having someone like Ember Moon on the main roster should be a major plus, right? Considering how over she was as NXT Women's Champion, when used right, she could be even more over and maybe she could be one of WWE's biggest breakout stars of 2018. With both being able to balance the work of their gimmicks and being able to get work done in the ring this could be a match-up that the fans really want to see.

Imagine Moon winning the Raw Women's title:

Would Ember Moon be able to deflect the glow of Naomi?

Finn Balor vs Andrade Cien Almas

Even though Andrade is still fairly new on the main roster, you have to admit that this is a 5-star match waiting to happen. Having them on the same show would not only open the door for this dream match to happen but having a 5-star match will help each guy get over since everyone obviously knows how good they are. Andrade vs Finn is already a potential show-stealer, but adding Zelina Vega in the mix makes it that much better! This would honestly be a match that you show to a friend and say "this is why I watch wrestling". Having this as the main event would make it so much more important because both guys are that good to where they can be put in such a spot, and actually deliver a good show.

With Finn's high-flying, big-hearted, "never say die" attitude, and the fact that he didn't get a rematch for the Universal Championship, furthers the point that he should be in the main event right now anyway. He has the guts, he has the skills, and he's already had a small taste of what it's like to be at the very top of the mountain on the main roster.

There's absolutely no doubt that they would not disappoint if they were ever put in a match against each other. It's been often stated that WWE has "too much talent" to the point where the guys that are obviously worth loads of talent are being pushed to the back of the line and it really makes it plain to see who the WWE's "golden one" is. These guys need a one on one match as soon as possible.

A lot of people like Andrade's character because he's a dastardly heel, but not a coward or one that runs away, he can actually get it done in the ring and he possesses the talent to take any top guy in WWE to the limit. He proved that in a match on Smackdown Live against AJ Styles. He proved that maybe on a different day, he could've beaten Styles and maybe been in the running for a WWE Title opportunity. Having a match with someone like Balor will prove the point that Almas is a force to be reckond with and that he has the potential to be a top guy in WWE.

Which match was better?

Authors of Pain vs The Bludgeon Brothers

This would be great from a storytelling point of view. So far, everyone that has faced The Bludgeon Brothers has succumbed to their raw power and unmatched strength. But guess what, the same can be said for the Authors of Pain (on the main roster). Put two dominating teams in a match and you got a recipe for disaster, in a good way of course.

Having The Bludgeon Brothers vs the Authors of Pain at, let's say, Survivor Series 2018, would be very entertaining. Not so much from an athletic standpoint, but from an equally satisfying story. The story is, The Bludgeon Brothers have never seen anything like the Authors of Pain, and vise versa. So much hype can be built around a match like this. In the end, we can have a clear view of who the best really is.

Which team would come out on top, The Bludgeon Brothers or Authors of Pain?

Would The Bludgeon Brothers be able to withstand the power of The Authors of Pain?

Samoa Joe vs Drew McIntyre

This match is in the #1 spot because you don't get something like this very often. Two destructive forces of nature colliding, decimating any and everything in their path. Not only do you get butts in the seats for this, but you get great story-telling throughout the match. This is one of those matches where you genuinely don't know who would win, and that's the beauty of matches like this one.

On one hand, you have a raging psychopath who wants to Claymore Kick the life out of anybody that stands in his way. On the other hand, you have a certified and legitimate threat that will put you to sleep in a moment's notice without warning. Take your pick, and choose wisely.

You can never go wrong with a match like this for the reasons just stated. It will be the perfect heel vs heel type of match because it will draw only heat, so the fans will have to choose who they like more and who they want to win. This can do wonders for the careers of both men, really cementing their position as top contenders and a serious form of opposition to the world champions on their respective brands.

Drew McIntyre is a gigantic human being. Him vs Samoa Joe is nothing more than an amazing idea waiting to happen. If it ever does happen, most fans would prefer a match of this magnitude over another Roman vs Lesnar match, any day. Only time will tell, our only hope is to wait until the next Superstar Shakeup and hope that Drew can make his way to Smackdown Live to face Joe. At the end of a match like this, the winner absolutely HAS to be next in line for a title opportunity.

It looks like Drew has a mean streak of his own:
