Dream Matches for each of the latest NXT call-ups

Ten superstars have recently been called up by NXT and those ten superstars were Otis and Tucker of Heavy Machinery, Lacey Evans, Nikki Cross, EC3, Lars Sullivan, Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet, and Tommaso Ciampa.

WWE has slowly been implementing these call ups on the main roster and it is only a matter of time before they find permanent homes on either Monday Night Raw or SmackDown Live. There are a number of dream matches for each of these call-ups.

In order for these matches to qualify as dream matchups, they have to have never happened on WWE television before so matches like Asuka vs Nikki Cross and Johnny Gargano vs Andrade do not count.

#9 Heavy Machinery vs SAnitY

Heavy Machinery and SAnitY were two top tag teams in NXT

There are several great tag teams for Heavy Machinery to face but the best tag team that they can possibly face is the underutilized team of SAnitY.

It is always fun to see matches between two big men and nothing would be quite as fun as seeing Otis and/or Tucker face off with the monstrous Killian Dain. The best combination of SAnitY to face off with Heavy Machinery would be Killian Dain and Eric Young.

Those two can be seen as the best members of the stable and would definitely have a great match. Some impressive moves hit in the match include a Coast to Coast from Killian Dain, an elbow drop from Eric Young, and a moonsault from Tucker.

#8 Lacey Evans vs Sasha Banks

Lacey Evans is expected to become a major name on the main roster

The Lady of WWE is reportedly set to become WWE's next big star in the women's division. However, before she becomes a top star, Lacey Evans needs to have a great match that can define her career.

The best woman for Evans to compete against is most definitely Sasha Banks. Sasha Banks is one of the best women in the entire division and truly is the Legit Boss.

She has carried several women including Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax to great matches in the past and can definitely do the same with Lacey Evans.

Some impressive counters can include the slingshot elbow into the knee strike from Sasha Banks, a suicide dive into a Woman's Right from Lacey Evans, and a moonsault into a Bank Statement from Sasha Banks.

#7 EC3 vs Rey Mysterio

EC3 has a lot of potential to be a top star in WWE

EC3 is a clear powerhouse and powerhouses often have their best matches against underdogs who are much smaller than them and rely on speed and athleticism. That is why EC3 should face off with the biggest underdog of all time in Rey Mysterio.

The two can have a great match that would steal the show as EC3's explosive power will mesh well with Rey Mysterio's high flying techniques.

Some impressive counters can include a powerbomb into a Canadian destroyer from Rey Mysterio, a 619 into a TKO from EC3, a TKO into a Reverse Rana from Rey Mysterio, and a tilt a whirl DDT into a Front Facelock STO from EC3.

This would be a great initial rivalry for EC3 and would help him become the star in WWE that he is meant to be.

#6 Nikki Cross vs Ember Moon

Nikki Cross and Ember Moon surprisingly have never faced off before.

When Ember Moon became NXT Women's Champion, many people thought that Nikki Cross would be her first challenger. That would not be the case as Ember Moon would immediately move on to Shayna Baszler.

It is a shame that we never got to see this match because it truly would be one for the ages. Both women have a similar high-flying, explosive, daredevil style and it would be interesting to see the contrasting images.

Their exchanges with each other during the NXT Takeover: War Games fatal four-way match for the NXT Women's Championship were excellent.

Some counters that can be hit in this match include a top rope move into a Whiplash neck-breaker from Nikki Cross, a Purge into a superkick from Ember Moon, and an Eclipse into a Reverse DDT from Nikki Cross. This would be a great match that would make stars out of both women.

#5 Lars Sullivan vs Braun Strowman

This match would be explosive, to say the least.

Lars Sullivan and Braun Strowman are two of the biggest men in all of WWE. A match between these two superstars would be a vicious, hard-hitting affair. The two big men are two of the best giants in WWE and would definitely have a great and explosive match with each other.

There are many potential ways that this feud can be developed, including Bray Wyatt introducing Lars Sullivan as his next disciple.

Some potential spots that can be hit in this match including a ring destroying superplex, a powerslam through the barricade, and possibly a diving headbutt through the announce table.

Some counters include a powerslam into another one from Braun Strowman, a chokeslam into a Freak Accident from Lars Sullivan, and a Freak Accident into a Reverse Chokeslam from Braun Strowman.

This match would be amazing and definitely can be the main event of an episode of Raw or even a pay per view.

#4 Tommaso Ciampa vs Finn Balor

Tommaso Ciampa and Finn Balor are familiar with each other from their NXT days.

While Tommaso Ciampa and Finn Balor are similar in the fact that they are both cruiserweights, they are pretty different in every other way.

Finn Balor is a loveable underdog and face that is adored by the WWE Universe while Tommaso Ciampa is a despicable heel that the mere mention of him can bring boos from the entire crowd.

That is why they should almost certainly face off. Tommaso Ciampa and Finn Balor both know how to have a great match and would definitely be able to create a masterclass that gets the entire crowd invested.

Some counters that can be hit in the match include a Fairy Tale Ending into a double stomp from Finn Balor, a top rope attack into a big knee from Tommaso Ciampa, and a draping DDT into a Tope Con Hiro from Finn Balor.

#3 Aleister Black vs Shinsuke Nakamura

Aleister Black and Ricochet recently faced off with Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura in tag team action.

Aleister Black and Shinsuke Nakamura's styles are almost exactly the same. Both superstars heavily rely on strikes while also implementing submissions into their style. However, Aleister Black's offense also includes high flying moves, unlike Shinsuke Nakamura.

The two Superstars would have a great match and their exchanges with each other last week on SmackDown Live were amazing. The two would be able to have a great feud that should definitely happen sooner rather than later.

Some of the counters that can be hit in this match include a Kinshasa into a double stomp from Aleister Black, a springboard moonsault into a cross armbar from Shinsuke Nakamura, a roundhouse kick into a backstabber from The Artist, an Octopus Hold into a Landslide from Shinsuke Nakamura that would make this match one for the ages.

#2 Johnny Gargano vs Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan has stated in the past that he wants Daniel Bryan on SmackDown Live.

Johnny Gargano and Daniel Bryan are very similar if you think about it. Both Superstars were beloved underdogs that were adored by the WWE Universe before undergoing heel turns out of frustration.

However, while Daniel Bryan seems to have turned to the dark side permanently, there have been hints of Johnny Gargano looking to redeem himself and go back to the good side.

Both Superstars are some of the best wrestlers in all of WWE and the show will be stolen if they compete against each other.

Some impressive counters that can be included in this match include a slingshot spear into a Yes Lock from Daniel Bryan, a Yes Lock into a Gargano Escape from Johnny Gargano, and a slingshot DDT into a cross armbar from Daniel Bryan.

#1 Ricochet vs AJ Styles

Ricochet and AJ Styles faced off in the indies.

Ricochet and AJ Styles are two of the best superstars in all of WWE. The two men both combine speed and high flying wrestling with explosive power and technical wrestling expertise.

The two have faced off with each other in the past and most definitely do so again in the big stage of WWE.

A feud between the two Superstars would be a dream come true due to the impressive athleticism of both men. The two men can most definitely steal the show and definitely deserve the chance to do so on a big stage.

Some of the counters that can be included in a match between the two include a Calf Crusher into a Deadlift Brainbuster from Ricochet, an avalanche rana into an avalanche Styles Clash, and a Phenomenal Forearm into a Fireman Carry into a Roundhouse Kick. The two would definitely have a great match that can potentially be granted five stars.
