10 WWE vs. AEW dream matches wrestling fans would love to see

Last year, there was a big change in the landscape of professional wrestling. A new wrestling promotion named All Elite Wrestling (AEW) arrived in the business and things have not been the same since. Although AEW isn’t big enough to completely take WWE out of business, they have given WWE competition. But in the end, this is great for wrestling fans because they have so much more content to enjoy.

Both AEW and WWE have the world’s best talents. We know WWE has over 150 roster members and the majority of them are on good contracts. AEW doesn’t have this type of depth but certainly has no lack of talent.

WWE vs AEW has become a war now. The fans have chosen one or the other. But what if you didn’t have to make a choice? From a wrestling fan's perspective, imagine that you’re in some sort of dream and we get a huge crossover between these two companies. In this article, we will take a look at the 10 WWE vs AEW dream matches which wrestling fans would love to see.

#10 The Miz Vs. MJF

The Miz has been in WWE for more than a decade now and has achieved a lot of success during his time with the company. He is one of those Superstars who can be a good babyface as well as a good heel. Also, he is excellent on the mic which adds intensity and realism to his character.

MJF, on the other hand, has been shooting for the stars since his debut in AEW. He is just 24 years old and already has the attention of wrestling fans around the world. This has happened majorly because of how he acts. He is the type of heel that no one wants to like and he makes sure of it every time. Just like The Miz, MJF is also excellent on the mic. He has delivered some of the best promos in AEW.

There are many similarities between The Miz and MJF. They have a similar look and a matching body type. Moreover, both of them have great mic skills and this makes their characters feel alike.

A match between these two will be a treat to watch. The quality of wrestling will be decent, but the storyline and promos could be some of the best we see on TV.

#9 Darby Allin Vs. Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy is known as The Charismatic Enigma who performs high-flying spots and steals the show. His extreme wrestling style is a big reason for his popularity in WWE and his on-screen character is the one that always gets loved by the audience. Hardy has had an illustrious career in WWE and is surely a future Hall of Famer.

Darby Allin has looked very impressive in the starting months of his AEW career. He had a classic match with Cody Rhodes at Fyter Fest last year followed by some other great matches. His gimmick is strange but a unique one and that is why fans have gotten attracted to it. We even see fans at shows with their painted faces just like Allin.

Jeff Hardy Vs. Darby Alin is a dream match and not just because both of them paint their faces. Many legends (such as Chris Jericho) have called Allin a younger version of WWE veteran Hardy. Allin puts his body on the line no matter what and he also has the enigma which connects strongly with the crowd.

#8 Lance Archer Vs. Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman is billed as “The Monster Among Men” in WWE. He is the current Universal Champion on SmackDown. His recent booking hasn't been the greatest but since WrestleMania, his fortunes have changed in WWE. He can be a big destructive monster if need be. We have seen him flip a truck and what not (in kayfabe, of course).

Lance Archer arrived in AEW after his contract with NJPW expired. He helped AEW by filling the void of that monster heel that they needed for a long time. Archer has been relentless in the ring so far and we have seen nothing but destruction from him. “The Murderhawk” nickname he carries is justified for sure.

A "Monster Vs. Monster" is always a good watch. Braun Strowman and Lance Archer have even taken shots at each other recently on Twitter. So this is a dream WWE vs AEW match because it feels like a real fight- two pissed off monsters going at it to determine who is the best. Given the match is booked in a certain way which suits these type of big guys, it will surely be a barnburner of a match.

#7 Rey Fenix Vs. Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio is the one name that comes to everyone’s mind when they think of masked wrestlers. Without a doubt, he is the most popular Luchador wrestler in WWE history. 619 is one of the most popular finishers in the entire pro wrestling world, let alone WWE. On top of this, Mysterio has become a legend in professional wrestling by giving us so many great matches during all these years.

Rey Fenix is one half of the Lucha Brothers tag team along with Pentagon Jr. He is an amazing in-ring performer who never seems to get a single move wrong. He can wrestle three to four matches in a week with very high intensity. He is known as the king of ropes and can do things in the ring that no one else can.

Rey Vs. Rey, Mask Vs. Mask, or WWE vs. AEW, this match is a guaranteed classic if it ever happens. And it is a dream match every fan would love to see.

#6 The Young Bucks Vs. The Usos

The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) are arguably the greatest tag team in wrestling today. They have accomplished a lot during their time in NJPW, ROH, and other promotions.

The Young Bucks gained popularity after starting their own YouTube series called Being The Elite. The show recently crossed the 200 episode mark and has been a big success. The Young Bucks are also known for their 5-star classic tag team matches. A recent example of that is their match at AEW Revolution against Kenny Omega & Hangman Page.

The Usos are also a fantastic team. Jimmy & Jey Uso have had a successful career in the WWE and they have proven how good they are time after time. Being real-life brothers helps them with their excellent chemistry inside the ring. Their promo work is also great and the WWE Universe loves to see their matches.

A match between these two teams is surely a dream match because it will be the collision of two great tag teams in the world. Can you even imagine how many superkicks we will get if The Young Bucks faced The Usos? Both AEW and WWE fans would find it difficult to not get delirious at the prospect of this match.

#5 Chris Jericho Vs. Drew McIntyre

The major part of Chris Jericho’s career has been in WWE. But since he has become All Elite, he has looked completely different. His ‘Le Champion’ gimmick took the wrestling world by storm and there is no way how anyone could hate it. Also, Jericho is one of the greatest ever when it comes to mic skills. His promos can not be matched and neither can his humor. He’s so funny and entertaining that you never get bored by watching him.

Drew McIntyre, The Scottish Psychopath, is having the best time of his career right now. He defeated Brock Lesnar, Big Show, and Seth Rollins in one month. WWE has finally realized how good he is and he is getting the big push as WWE Champion. McIntyre has become the most over babyface in WWE right now (even with no fans in the arena).

The match between Jericho and McIntyre has made this list because it is the perfect heel and babyface match. It can’t be stressed enough how much Jericho could elevate McIntyre with one golden feud. The match itself will be great and the promos will also be something that everyone would look forward to.

#4 Kenny Omega Vs. AJ Styles

People say that AJ Styles is so good that he can deliver a 5-star match with a broomstick. His nickname “The Phenomenal One” isn’t just a catchy phrase; he is phenomenal indeed. His work in WWE and with every other promotion has been gold. If you take a look at his achievements, the list will probably never end. He can be paired with literally anyone on the WWE roster and he would deliver. Not everyone has this sort of ability.

Kenny Omega is known as the 5-star match machine. He has proved this during his long time in Japan. In AEW, Omega has given us some great matches, but he has yet to reach that NJPW level. However, there's no doubting his talent, and AEW is likely to put their world title on him sooner or later.

Talking about Kenny Omega Vs. AJ Styles, there isn't any better match for a wrestling fan to watch. These two are going to match so well together that you can see them replicating what WWE Hall of Famers Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels did in that iconic Iron Man match at WrestleMania VII. And with the modern wrestling style, Styles and Omega might even surpass the levels that the aforementioned match-up reached.

#3 Adam 'Hangman' Page Vs. Seth Rollins

Adam 'Hangman' Page was a part of the Bullet Club in NJPW. He had a unique gimmick which was very popular amongst the Japanese fans. After Page's contract with NJPW expired, he signed with All Elite Wrestling. 'Hangman' was pushed right from the start, but he didn't get a response from the fans. Things started to change when Page got paired with Kenny Omega as a tag team.

Both Page & Omega are members of 'The Elite' and have great in-ring chemistry. Many fans were surprised when they saw how good they are as a tag team. They are the current AEW Tag Team Champions. So, after a tough start to his journey, Hangman Page has finally settled well and people want to see more of him.

Seth Rollins is among WWE’s most loyal Superstars because he is always there when needed. If he isn't injured, he will be on RAW or SmackDown working as usual. This is one of the reasons why he is always booked strongly in WWE.

Ever since Rollins has been on the WWE main roster, he has proved his worth as a top star. He was won both the world titles in the company- the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. He became the 11th Grand Slam Champion in WWE under the new format.

This match between Rollins and Page is a dream as both these Superstars are equally good as a heel and a babyface. So, they can choose their role and we could get a great storyline plus an amazing match. This is the kind of storyline that can go on for months.

#2 Cody Rhodes Vs. Triple H

We all know that Cody Rhodes was booked very poorly during his WWE run. And after spending several years in the independent scene and one year in AEW, we know how good he is and that WWE mishandled him big time.

Ever since Cody became All Elite, he has taken many shots against his former company. During his Double or Nothing entrance last year, Cody smashed a throne using a sledgehammer which was a clear dig at Triple H.

On the other hand, Triple H is one of the greatest of all time in WWE. 'The Game' has had an amazing in-ring career and is now doing a great job in building the Black and Gold brand of NXT. AEW Dynamite and NXT are at arms for ratings also due to both shows airing on Wednesday nights.

Cody has taken the role of Executive Vince President in AEW and he is also a corporate wrestler just like Triple H. A feud between Triple H and Cody Rhodes would be epic as they could fight over whose brand is better. And to settle the score, we get a No Holds Barred match between the two, one-time-only crossover between the two executives. It will the most epic and intense battle once could wish for.

#1 Jon Moxley Vs. Roman Reigns

Jon Moxley left WWE in 2019 and it was a shocking moment for the fans. Not many would've thought that Moxley would leave a big-money contract offer and the fame of WWE behind him. But he had different goals and ideas which were not possible to execute within WWE.

Moxley then went on to sign with All Elite Wrestling, which didn't come as a shock to many. Everyone knew that Moxley would finally be able to reach his potential that he could never reach in WWE. Now, he is the AEW World Champion and the number one guy in the company.

Roman Reigns has been WWE’s go-to guy for the last five years. He has been in the main event of four WrestleMania shows. Vince McMahon wanted to make him the next John Cena, but that did not happen.

Reigns got diagnosed with leukemia and he had to relinquish the Universal Championship. He was also expected to win the title again at WrestleMania 36 but opted to not compete due to health reasons. Many things are said about Roman Reigns, but the fact remains that he is still one of WWE’s biggest names today.

Jon Moxley and Roman Reigns have a history as brothers in The Shield. There is no shortage of storyline content when it comes to these two. But the main thing here is that Jon Moxley is not Dean Ambrose. Reigns did fight Ambrose in WWE, but still, this remains a dream match.

The reason is that Jon Moxley is a no-holds-barred sort of world champion. He's more hardcore than Ambrose and he doesn't play around. Ambrose was more of a fun-loving lunatic. So Reigns going against Moxley will be a completely different ball game.

I hope you enjoyed reading this wrestling fantasy. Hopefully, some matches might end up happening in the future. Do let us know your list of WWE Vs. AEW dream matches in the comments section below.
