#5 Bobby Lashley vs. Braun Strowman

would be a formidable matchup of strength and size between them. Image courtesy of thechairshot.com

These two massive men are the epitome of size and strength. Both have a tremendous athletic background, with Strowman being a former strongman competition winner and Lashley having actively competed in amateur wrestling and MMA.

Both men have been involved in feuds with another talent on the Raw roster, but what fans appeared most intrigued by were moments when they faced one another. A natural curious as to how it could end up going down emerged in the audience.

The biggest difference between them would probably be Lashley's agility. That said, Strowman would clearly have the strength advantage, as is apparent from his incredible feats of strength.

Regardless of these differences, they are certainly two of the biggest and strongest members of the WWE roster. Some may assume that Lashley would ultimately lose the match because he is slightly smaller, but it would doubtlessly be competitive.

#4 AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan

These two have already had a match against one another just after Bryan returned to active duty. However, fans will recall the match didn't come to a definitive end due to outside interference from Shinsuke Nakamura. What is interesting to note is the two men are no stranger to one another, having faced each other over a decade ago, in various independent promotions and Ring of Honor.

That first confrontation, on the Smackdown Live immediately after Wrestlemania, suggested that a series of matches would be highly entertaining, and something that would appeal to a mass audience. Whether or not that decision is made in the future, it is clear that when these two faces go head-to-head with one another the result is incredible. It doesn't matter how hard each man hits the other, it's about how both demonstrate incredible resolve. It isn't important to pick a favorite between them, what matters is watching them face one another.

#3 Daniel Bryan vs. Finn Balor

As of now, this matchup doesn't appear likely to happen any time soon. With Bryan being part of the Smackdown Live brand and Balor being a part of the Raw brand, they are on different professional trajectories. Their size and stature are similar, as is their fighting style gave their mutual propensity for strikes and kicks, not to mention they both take risks and demonstrate great sacrifice.

For Balor and Bryan to face one another, given their similar levels of experience, the determining factor would be who makes the least amount of mistakes. Balor and Bryan have already faced each other many years prior, outside the WWE, with Bryan getting the better of the Irishman. What would happen now if they faced off in today's WWE?

#2 Jeff Hardy vs. AJ Styles

When the two were starting up their careers, in WWE or WCW respectively, no one could have known what would become of either Hardy or Styles. Hardy had the opportunity to perform on a big stage earlier.

Fans became fully aware of his being a daredevil that would take incredible risks against guys like Edge, Christian, and the Dudley Boyz. On the other hand, it wasn't until 2002 that Styles began to show how phenomenal he was.

It wasn't until recently that it became possible for these two men to face one another in WWE. Both men are active parts of the Smackdown Live roster, with Hardy as the former United States champion and Styles as the WWE champion.

These two would match up well with one another since they both include risk-taking as a major part of their in-ring arsenal, and Styles certainly demonstrates a variety of techniques in the ring. A program with, potentially, both titles on the line would be a terrific one to see.

#1 AJ Styles vs. Seth Rollins

When Styles first came into WWE he was a face during his first program with Chris Jericho. He didn't get the opportunity to face Rollins at that time, as The Architect was recovering from his torn ACL.

Upon his return, he immediately picked up where he left off, in a program with Roman Reigns. Meanwhile, Styles turned heel and battled John Cena. In the brand split a short while after that, Styles went to Smackdown Live while Rollins remained on Raw.

To have arguably the wrestler of the year for WWE in 2017 and the wrestler of the year for 2018 come to blows with one another would mean that fans see nothing short of magic between them. They have faced one another prior to their time in WWE, about 10 years ago.

Today, however, to see these men, who are now at the top of their game, face each other would enable fans to witness everything they love and admire about both of them.
