Thinking up dream matches is a favourite activity of wrestling fans as they get to imagine fighters from different generations, different promotions and different countries meeting in the middle of the ring and fighting it out to see who the best is. The WWE universe is no exception as there are a number of matches that the fans would give anything to see. With WWE continuously hiring superstars who have appeared in other promotions, several supporters of the company may be surprised to learn that matches they consider dream matches may have already happened.
Honourable Mentions
This honourable mentions section is dedicated to Daniel Bryan vs. Chris Benoit. While every other match on this list has happened elsewhere and might theoretically happen in the WWE, this match will never happen. Chris Benoit was one of the most technically gifted wrestlers ever, and many fans would have loved to see his in-ring ability on display against Daniel Bryan.
What would make the match even more interesting, is the fact that they both made use of the crossface submission move and the fans would be eager to see who could lock it in first. The match would get five stars from pundits and wrestling fans alike.
#5 Samoa Joe vs. Kenta Kobashi
At the moment, Samoa Joe is the most dominant heel on SmackDown as he feuds with AJ Styles for the WWE championship. Joe's dominance in the ring, ability to tell a story and his fantastic promo skills makes it difficult to find a perfect opponent for him; enter Kenta Kobashi who according to Tokyo Sports was the perfect wrestler. For many WWE fans, seeing these two dominant superstars clash would be a dream come true.
The match would bring out the best in Samoa Joe as he would go all out against the Japanese legend. This match can't happen in the WWE at the moment because Kobashi retired in 2013. However, in 2005, his dream match occurred in Ring of Honor. The fight was so awe-inspiring that it got a five-star rating from Dave Meltzer. The bout was so great that the Wrestling Observer Newsletter ranked it as the match of the year.
#4 Bobby Roode vs. Petey Williams
Bobby Roode and Petey Williams were two of TNA's biggest stars during its golden age; the partnership and rapport between the two go back to their days in Team Canada where they teamed up with Eric Young and Johnny Devine. This would be a dream match because Petey has never appeared in the WWE. If WWE allowed Petey to use his Canadian Destroyer, the match would be something the WWE universe has not seen in a long time.
TNA fans, however, have already witnessed the match with one of the first instances being at Lockdown. The match was an integral part of a storyline between Eric Young and Bobby Roode. Although the Wrestling Observer declared their 2006 match to be the Worst Worked Match of the Year the two wrestlers have improved tremendously and would give the WWE universe an unforgettable match.
#3 Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk
Once again Samoa Joe makes an appearance on this list because of how dominant he has been in recent times. CM Punk, on the other hand, was one of the best heels to ever work in the WWE and his name still resonates among wrestling fans. If the two men were to be embroiled in a feud in the WWE, it would undoubtedly produce some of the best promos in ever. The matches would captivate the fans especially if it were booked as a heel vs. heel. It could be among the best matches in WWE history and even a WrestleMania main event.
Despite the fans being hungry for such a match, it has an exceptionally low probability of happening in the WWE because of how CM Punk left the company. Ring of Honor comes to the rescue once again as while both superstars were at the promotion they competed in iconic bouts. While Samoa Joe was the ROH World Champion, he defended his title against Punk three times. Their second match was so good that Dave Meltzer gave it five stars. For seven years no American match had gotten that coveted rating which goes to show how good that match would be for the WWE.
#2 Daniel Bryan vs. Christopher Daniels
Since his return from injury, Daniel Bryan has been in several high profile matches with the WWE management looking to build him up for future events. A possible match in the mind of many fans would pit WWE's comeback king against the king of the Indies, Christopher Daniels. Bryan is one of WWE's top faces and putting him in matches against The Fallen Angel, one of the veteran heels in the industry, would keep the fans on the edge of their seats.
This match might happen, but until then we look to Ring of Honor to see how such a match would look. In 2002, Daniel Bryan, Low Ki, and Christopher Daniels fought in a triple threat match at an event titled The Era of Honor Begins. The end of the match set up another match between the two at Round Robin Challenge where Christopher Daniels won.
#1 AJ Styles vs. Kenny Omega
WWE fans from all over the world have been clamoring for this match since AJ Styles came back to the WWE. With constant rumors that the WWE was planning to offer Kenny Omega a contract, the imagination of the WWE universe has been running wild with what a match between the two would look like. Fans of the indie scene don't need to use their imagination since they have already experienced the magic these two bring while in the middle of the ring. The match between the two happened in a Canadian indie promotion called PCW. The match was so out of this world that it kept Kenny Omega from retiring. With both Kenny Omega and AJ Styles being vastly successful this is one dream match that might happen.
