5 Dream Matches WWE Can Still Give Us In 2018

2018 has been a topsy-turvy year for WWE so far. They've put on some great shows and they've put on shows that left a lot to be desired.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

The big events have been considerable successes, as we had a wonderful Royal Rumble, a fun Greatest Royal Rumble and an above average Wrestlemania. But for each of those shows, we also got a Backlash that was a disservice to the WWE Universe.

Considering the wealth of talent WWE has at its disposal, the company should be putting on stellar shows day-in, day-out.

However, that is not the case and while there are a number of reasons for that happening, but there is no denying that the quality of the shows doesn't consistently match up to the quality of the roster.

#5 Daniel Bryan vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

In 2004 on the independent scene, a young Daniel Bryan (known as the American Dragon back then) competed in a series of tag-team matches.

One of his opponents was Shinsuke Nakamura. 14 years have passed since then and the two never faced-off in the ring again.

That is not entirely true as the two faced each other in a dark match after 205 Live which ended in disqualification after Nakamura hit Bryan with a low-blow.

These two deserve better than a five-minute match in front of a half-empty arena. What if these two were to have a feud for real?

Nakamura's feud with Styles is winding down and their Last Man Standing match at Money in the Bank will hopefully be the last time the two wrestle one another for a while.

Nakamura going after Bryan can serve the most basic purpose of getting Nakamura some real heat.

Bryan is the most loved babyface in WWE and audiences are almost protective of him. Making him a victim of Nakamura's sneak attacks and low-blows will get Nakamura explosive heat and the two are bound to have fantastic matches with each other.

#4 Finn Balor vs. AJ Styles

Balor probably needs this more than Styles

We have already seen this match before in the WWE when the two wrestled each other in an impromptu match at TLC. That match was the best of the night and it gave fans a taste of what they would be in store for if the two ever had a proper feud.

The right time could be approaching very soon. Finn Balor has been spinning his wheels on Raw for ages and Styles' feud with Nakamura will probably come to an end at Money in the Bank.

The two have a shared history as former leaders of the Bullet Club and WWE has not been shy about referencing this fact on multiple occasions in their programming.

Getting Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson into the mix is also possible and whether Balor is the heel or Styles, their matches are bound to be fantastic.

#3 Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz

Bryan vs. Miz has been building since 2016

This match just has to happen. The feud between these two has been building since 2016, when The Miz went off on Bryan on Talking Smack, in what was an amazing promo. At the time, this match was impossible as Bryan was still retired, but things have changed now.

Bryan is an active wrestler once more and the time is right for this feud to happen. These two figures represent the two halves of the wrestling world;

The Miz is a WWE product through-and-through, while Bryan made his name on the independent scene before joining the company. This match has been on everyone's dream list ever since Bryan was cleared to wrestle.

In an ideal world, this match should take place at Wrestlemania 35, but if WWE doesn't see it as an important enough feud, we could end up seeing this match in 2018. Having them feud over the WWE Championship would just be icing on the cake.

#2 The Four Horsewomen of WWE vs. The Four Horsewomen of MMA

The stars have aligned for this match to happen

WWE has embraced the concept of The Four Horsewomen by recognizing the fantastic work Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch have done for the company over the last few years.

This term doesn't originally in the WWE though, it can trace its origins back to the MMA where Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler, Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke were dubbed The Four Horsewomen.

The most important fact right now is that all these women are currently active wrestlers in WWE. This would be a fantastic, star-studded match.

Duke and Shafir would have to be rushed through NXT developmental, but the prospect of having these eight women face each other in a 4 vs. 4 tag-team match at Survivor Series is too enticing to pass up.

#1 AJ Styles vs. Shawn Michaels

A match made in wrestling heaven

A match between Styles and Shawn Michaels is admittedly a very long shot, but Michaels has finally appeared interested in the prospect of 'One Last Match'. When he was asked who he would like to face, the name that came out of his mouth was AJ Styles.

These two were initially slated to meet in the ring at Wrestlemania 33, but Michaels turned it down. The Heartbreak Kid has not wrestled since Wrestlemania 26 and if he was to enter the ring one last time, AJ Styles would make the perfect opponent. Not only is Styles one of the best wrestlers in the world, he is the best wrestler in the WWE, in addition to being one of the safest options for the 52-years-old Shawn Michaels.

A match between the two can easily be the main event of any WWE show and if Michaels is even half of what he once was, the match will undoubtedly go down as a classic.
