Every so often, the stars align in the WWE, and the fans get to witness a true dream match.

Who could forget when Hulk Hogan returned to the company in 2002, to battle the hottest star of the time, The Rock? Or how about in 2012, when it was the Brahma Bull returning on this occasion, this time to take on John Cena, whose rise to Superstardom mirrored the Great One's.

And in 2019, there is no shortage of dream matches. But for one reason or another, several fantasy matches between some of wrestling's biggest stars will sadly remain a fantasy.

With that said though, there are some dream matches that are still possible, though some are much more likely than others.

Here are five dream matches that could still happen in the WWE.


#5 John Cena Vs. Samoa Joe

Fans speculated that these two Superstars would face off at WrestleMania 35.

Though these two have faced off in tag team competition, there has never been a high profile singles match between Samoa Joe and John Cena.

That's not to say that there weren't plans for the big match, as Joe hinted at facing Big Match John at WrestleMania 35 before Rey Mysterio was announced as the United States Champion's opponent.

Coming from two very different worlds, a one on one match between the pair would be great to see. Despite his age, Cena always impresses even now as a part-timer, and Joe finally is on a roll on the main roster, after capturing the star-spangled title from R-Truth several weeks ago.

A match between these two would send the WWE Universe on fire, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Samoan submission machine won clean.

#4 Shinsuke Nakamura Vs. Brock Lesnar

These two have faced off in New Japan.

When Shinsuke Nakamura joined the WWE in early 2016, Brock Lesnar was already a huge star. But before the King of Strong Style burst onto the scene in NXT, these two did face off in New Japan Pro Wrestling.

And though they have faced off before, this match was over a decade ago, and both have developed considerably since then. In their first match, Lesnar had yet to step foot in the Octagon, compared to now, when the Universal Champion's MMA background is put to use in his matches.

A re-match, though we doubt the WWE would call it such, would be amazing to see, as both men have wrestling styles completely unique to them. This one could easily be a WrestleMania main event, though we feel it'd do better at the biggest party of the summer, Summerslam.

#3 The Rock Vs. Roman Reigns

Could the Hobbes and Shaw co-stars face off in the near future?

In October last year, Roman Reigns' entire future as a superstar was put in jeopardy, when the former Universal Champion announced his leukaemia relapse.

Fortunately, Reigns has recovered and is no doubt hungry to return to the top of the mountain, which was a spot once held by his relation The Rock.

A match between these two goliaths would definitely be WrestleMania worthy, as The Rock's return in 2011 showed that the Hollywood megastar could still go in the ring.

It would also hopefully please those fans who feel that Reigns (through no fault of his own) has been too much of a feature in the Universal title picture, and having a non-title feud against his own flesh and blood would help elevate the Big Dog even more, whilst someone else held the gold.

#2 Goldberg Vs. Roman Reigns

These two masters of the Spear would wage a war.

Goldberg's return to the WWE and subsequent Universal title run may be one of the greatest comebacks in the company's history. The former WCW and WWE World Heavyweight Champion hadn't been seen in over a decade, but quickly introduced himself to a new generation of fans, with his patented Spear.

And as the master of the Spear during the Attitude Era, many fans are hoping for the former Atlanta Falcons star to one day face off against today's top Spearing Superstar, Roman Reigns.

Reigns has been a dominant force in WWE for several years, and a match between these two would be an epic war of generations. Though Goldberg stepped away from the ring in 2017, he did hint that a return is possible, and this match would definitely be worth making a comeback to the squared circle.

#1 Sting Vs. The Undertaker

As two of the most loyal members of the respective promotions, these two have never faced off.

Two icons of different companies, a battle between Sting and The Undertaker would be a truly epic contest. In one corner, there's Sting. The poster-boy of WCW, who remained loyal to the promotion until it's dying day.

In the other, is The Undertaker. The Phenom of the WWE, who remained just as loyal as the Stinger during the Monday Night War.

Though the former WCW star announced his retirement at the 2016 Hall of Fame, we all know that permanent retirements are a rare thing in wrestling. Sting himself has said he would come out of retirement for one match, against The Undertaker.

And with the demon of Death Valley currently without a match for WrestleMania 35, could we see this shocking dream match take place in just a matter of days?
