5 WWE vs. AEW dream matches we may never get to see

Since 2019, AEW has been rising as one of the biggest promotions in current-day professional wrestling. Currently, their weekly show, AEW Dynamite is going head to head with WWE's NXT in a back-and-forth ratings war.

Both the AEW and WWE rosters are filled with performers who are at the top of their game, and numerous talents have crossed paths in the past. Multiple stars of WWE and AEW have performed together around the world, working with one another for many different promotions.

With two top companies with such talented and varied rosters, wrestling fans have never been so spoilt for choice. There are many stars of both WWE and AEW that would be able to pull off some top-notch dream matches together. However, as fun as it is to dream up matches between WWE and AEW stars, it is unlikely that fans will be seeing both the promotions coming together in this capacity any time soon. Let's take a look at five such WWE versus AEW dream we may never get to see:

---

#5 WWE's Bianca Belair vs. AEW's Big Swole

Bianca Belair has been touted as one of the biggest stars in WWE's future. So far, Belair had a record-breaking performance in this year's Royal Rumble match and has moved from NXT to WWE's main roster, seemingly becoming one of the main faces on SmackDown. Currently, Belair is dominating her fellow competitors and is impressing fans with her performances.

In AEW, Big Swole is a name on the rise after coming to the company following a healthy career on the independent scene. More recently, she captured the attention of AEW fans during her feud against Britt Baker, where she eventually came out on top.

Both Belair and Big Swole are brilliant in-ring talents who have the potential to have huge championship runs in their respective companies. It seems unlikely that either star will be leaving their current roles as they are on the rise, especially Belair who has reportedly caught the attention of Vince McMahon.

#4 WWE's Adam Cole vs. AEW's Kenny Omega

WWE NXT Superstar Adam Cole and AEW's Kenny Omega are two stars who have a past between them. Between 2016 and 2017, the pair were both members of Bullet Club, one of the biggest and longest spanning stables in New Japan Pro Wrestling.

When members of Bullet Club, there was tension between Cole and Omega in regards to who was the actual leader of the stable at the time. Cole claimed that he was the leader and tried to remove The Young Bucks from the group only for them to claim Omega was the one in charge. Omega and The Young Bucks then came together to kick Cole out of the group for good.

Since then, Cole signed with WWE, whereas Omega (and The Young Bucks) are some of the top stars of AEW. Revisiting the history between Cole and Omega would be great to see, and The Young Bucks and The Undisputed Era could even become involved in the angle.

However, Adam Cole vs. Kenny Omega isn't likely to happen any time soon. Both are top stars in their respective companies and seem comfortable in their current roles. Adam Cole has reportedly signed a huge multi-year deal with WWE earlier this year, and Omega is an Executive Vice President of AEW as well as a wrestler.

#3 WWE's Daniel Bryan vs. AEW's MJF

Daniel Bryan has had a lengthy WWE career, spanning over a decade. Over his time in WWE, he has switched up his character, switching from heel to babyface with ease. However, Daniel Bryan's most memorable run was during his 'Yes! Movement' era, when he was the beloved top babyface of WWE, going against The Authority.

Daniel Bryan is also known for his top-quality performance in the ring and has been a multiple-time champion in WWE.

Currently, AEW's MJF is proving to be one of the top heels of the company. Renowned for his top promo skills and charismatic ways, the star has worked his way into The Inner Circle by pinning Chris Jericho.

Seeing Daniel Bryan and MJF go up against one another would be great to see. The pair are able to captivate fans with their personalities and it would be interesting to see what their in-ring chemistry would look like.

A classic babyface versus complete and utter villain feud would be a great way to build a match between the pair, as they both suit the roles so well. As exciting the prospect of these two go head-to-head would be, it is difficult to imagine it happening. Daniel Bryan has stated that he wants to wind down his wrestling career in the next few years, and the chances of MJF leaving AEW behind whilst he is emerging into one of the biggest eras of his career seem slim.

#2 WWE's Charlotte Flair vs. AEW's Hikaru Shida

At the moment, Charlotte Flair is taking a break from WWE programming. The multiple-time champion has been built as one of the top stars of WWE's women division since her days in NXT. As one of The Four Horsewomen, Charlotte Flair has ushered in the Women's Revolution in WWE, and was there when the women changed from 'Divas' to 'Superstars'.

In AEW, Hikaru Shida has fought her way to the top of their women's division since signing with the company in 2019. Earlier this year, she defeated Nyla Rose to win the AEW World Women's Championship and has managed to defend the title ever since.

Before joining AEW, Shida has enjoyed a successful career on the independent wrestling scene. Both Charlotte Flair and Hikaru Shida have been praised by fans for their high caliber pay-per-view matches, most notably Flair for her match against Trish Stratus at SummerSlam 2019 and her match against Becky Lynch at Evolution, and Shida for her championship match against Nyla Rose at Double or Nothing.

Both Charlotte Flair and Hikaru Shida are women who have made a huge impact on their respective divisions. Despite being considerably small, Shida is a performer who has no issue defeating women bigger and more imposing than her. Both women are incredible talents, and it's not difficult to imagine how their unique styles will merge in the ring.

As Shida is becoming one of AEW's top stars, the chances of her going against Charlotte Flair in the near future doesn't look possible. As well as this, Flair is a dominant star of WWE, and it is hard to imagine her wrestling elsewhere.

#1 WWE's Seth Rollins vs. AEW's Jon Moxley

Seth Rollins and Jon Moxley are two stars with a lot of history behind them. For years, they were both top stars of WWE and part of The Shield, one of the most popular factions in the company.

Known as Dean Ambrose during his WWE tenure, Moxley joined AEW in 2019 and quickly established himself as one of the biggest stars of the company. He won the AEW World Championship, after defeating fellow former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho at Revolution in February of this year. Moxley is currently the longest-reigning AEW World Champion.

Since Moxley's departure, he and Rollins had a brief spat after the former bad-mouthed WWE and how he was treated during his time working for the company. Rollins took exception to Moxley's statements and was pretty vocal about this.

Using the pairs former issues would be a way to ignite a feud that blurs the line of kayfabe. Both stars are excellent in-ring performers as well as being great talkers. They have faced one another in WWE, but it would be interesting to see their new dynamic now that they are both very different.

Seth Rollins has repeatedly praised WWE, so it is unlikely that he would be jumping ship any time soon, and likewise Jon Moxley with his role in AEW.
