5 Inter-gender matches we'd love to see in WWE

Last weekend, Impact Wrestling presented Slammiversary XVII, a show that will be remembered for its historically significant main event between Sami Callihan and Tessa Blanchard. It was a bold but, ultimately, the right move as this was the biggest match on the show.

This concept has been tested by WWE earlier in the year as well as recently, with Becky Lynch making Mike Kanellis tap out on last week's episode of Raw. Nia Jax made a shock appearance in the 2019 men's Royal Rumble match, attacking R-Truth and taking his number 30 spot.

Since that surreal moment, more and more questions have been posed regarding the possibility of inter-gender wrestling in WWE. It probably is not much more likely than before the Rumble, but Nia's involvement in the match has raised some hopes for fans wanting to see it.

The former Raw Women's Champion did take quite the punishment that day, receiving a Superkick, a 619 and a massive RKO for her troubles. This spot alone has certainly raised the possibility of more Man vs Woman action, and there is a certain level of scope to which it could work well as an attraction and a competitive story as well.

Taking believability into account as much as possible, here are five inter-gender matches we would love to see in the WWE.

#5 Randy Orton vs Nia Jax

WWE teased us at the Rumble.

In terms of inter-gender matches, WWE has already teased us with this one. During Nia Jax's aforementioned entry in the 2019 men's Royal Rumble match, she had an intense staredown with Randy Orton. It was extremely compelling, with Orton getting the final say with one hell of an RKO on his female foe.

It sure would be intriguing to see the Irresistible Force try and get her revenge on the Viper, with Nia being the most believable woman to take on male wrestlers. There were even plans for her to win the Cruiserweight Championship for Enzo Amore at one point. Nia even showed her desire for retribution on Orton, after a fan tweeted her a video of that RKO.

😩😩😩😩 I’m gonna come back and kick his ass for that https://t.co/IAXgx3xNew

#4 Seth Rollins vs Becky Lynch

Who is the real Man?

In case you did not know, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch are dating. It has become one of the focal points of Monday Night Raw. They both defend their respective championships independent of each other. Both Rollins and Becky are tremendous and have had decent reigns so far, but they have been bogged down by an overly long feud with wrestlers not as good as them.

While they will both benefit from new challengers, a match between the Man and her Man would be intriguing. With the swagger and conquering nature of Becky Lynch, she absolutely would pick a fight with the Beastslayer. Perhaps, WWE might even book this as the culmination of their break-up, who knows? Who is the real Man? That's a story right there.

#3 The Revival vs Sasha Banks and Bayley

Let's revolutionize tag team wrestling again.

Sasha Banks and Bayley were the first-ever WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, vowing to provide a new level of competition in the women's division as well as actively improve tag team wrestling in the company. Unfortunately, they lost the titles to the IIconics at WrestleMania and not much has happened with them since then. The fact remains that Sasha and Bayley still, most likely, have tremendous chemistry with each other.

Their friendship with the Revival has been well documented, with all four bonding over their love for pro wrestling. It would not be hard to envision Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson wanting to step in the ring with two of the WWE's Four Horsewomen. It would be one hell of a match, especially with the passion all four of them share for good tag team wrestling. The Revival, as the master heels they are, would get tremendous heat in a match of this kind.

#2 AJ Styles vs Charlotte Flair

This wouldn't be a mismatch.

AJ Styles and Charlotte Flair have had similar experiences in WWE, with both taking a little while to completely settle on the main roster. But once they did, success and championships followed throughout. The similarities do not end there. Both of them are of similar stature and they possess the athletic ability, as well as the aptitude for technical and brutal mastery in the ring.

The flurry of moves these two could bust out against each other would be amazing to watch. Moonsaults, DDTs, chops, kicks and more, AJ Styles and Charlotte Flair could feasibly put on a classic. There even is an in-built story, with Styles being Ric Flair's protege in TNA. It also helps that he and Charlotte are really good friends, as evidenced by social media. This is one match that would be a no-brainer if WWE does sanction inter-gender wrestling in the future.

#1 Daniel Bryan vs Asuka

The best of both divisions?

If there is any woman who stands a better than average chance of beating most men, it is the Empress of Tomorrow. Don't be fooled by her loving personality and her recent booking, Asuka is perfectly capable of kicking your head off and brutally eviscerating you. She may just be the best female in-ring wrestler in the entire WWE and possibly, the world. In terms of believability, nobody comes close to Asuka.

She could have classics with a lot of wrestlers but the one whose style matches the best with the Empress is Daniel Bryan.

They both have an excellent striking game, as well as a rich catalogue of brutal submission holds. Bryan, like Asuka, might be the best wrestler in the world. As good as he always looks, he regularly makes his opponent look amazing, as evidenced by the work he has done with Kofi Kingston and Heavy Machinery recently. Asuka herself is capable of taking a brutal beating, having been in the ring with Minoru Suzuki.

The different routes this match to go make Daniel Bryan vs Asuka one of the best possible inter-gender matches currently possible. If competitive inter-gender matches ever become a reality, this match must be considered.
