#2 AJ Styles vs. Kenny Omega (WWE vs. AEW)

Another WWE vs. AEW showdown with a lot of history behind it is the battle between former Bullet Club leaders AJ Styles and Kenny Omega. The Bullet Club is one of the most prolific and important stables of the past decade. The group has helped launch the careers of many top stars and make NJPW more prominent in the United States.

Former leader Prince Devitt left NJPW to become Finn Balor in WWE, which led to AJ Styles coming into New Japan and taking the mantle of leader of the Bullet Club. He defeated Kazuchika Okada in his first official match to win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and solidified his position as the head of the group. The rise was great, but the fall helped shape this potential WWE vs. AEW bout.

Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?

Key losses to Okada, Tanahashi and Nakamura hurt his spot at the top of the Bullet Club. With a move to WWE imminent, Kenny Omega took this opportunity to take his shot and layout Styles. Alongside the Young Bucks, Omega took AJ's spot as the Bullet Club leader. This should be the logical catalyst for this WWE vs. AEW dream match.

Despite facing each other in the past, including a contest that Omega credits for helping him continue his wrestling career, these versions of Kenny and AJ have never faced each other. AJ Styles has gone on to new heights of success in WWE, winning the WWE Championship twice and becoming a grand slam winner for the company.

Kenny Omega won the IWGP Intercontinental, United States, and Heavyweight Championships once AJ Styles left NJPW. Since signing with AEW, he has won the AEW World Tag Team and World Championships as well as the IMPACT World and AAA Mega Championships. These might just be the two most decorated opponents to match up in a WWE vs. AEW battle.

There is so much history and animosity to explore here. The Bullet Club helped take both men's careers to the top of three different promotions. NJPW, WWE, and AEW wouldn't be the same without AJ Styles and Kenny Omega. There might not be a bigger WWE vs. AEW dream match than this, but there is one other that has just as much of a checkered past and potential.
