This man might be heading to the main roster soon

WWE has one of the most stacked and talented rosters in the world of pro wrestling. Their roster has never been so skilled than it is now. The roster is divided into three parts: namely flagship shows RAW and SmackDown and development territory NXT. The fact we can't deny is NXT has the most skilled and charismatic wrestlers in comparison to other two flagship shows.

As NXT has one of the most skilled rosters, the fans have made the list of dream matches they want to see when their favourite NXT stars head to the main roster. Here is the list of dream matches between main roster superstars and NXT stars:


New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#5. Braun Strowman Vs Lars Sullivan

Enter captio
This will tear the house down if it happens in real

The fans would have gone with Brock Lesnar Vs Lars Sullivan, but they know Brock won't show up. Brock Lesnar Vs Lars Sullivan will never happen Brock might be leaving WWE soon. So let's go with Braun Strowman Vs Lars Sullivan. The match between 'The Monster among men' and 'Monster of NXT'. The battle of Powerslam and The Freak Accident.

There are rumors that Lars Sullivan might be heading to the main roster after SummerSlam. If this happens, the fans would love to see him drafted to Raw and get in a rivalry with Braun Strowman either by attacking him or by costing him his match against Kevin Owens.

The match between the two behemoths will steal the show anytime it happens. If Lars Sullivan is really heading to the main roster, I would love to say it: 'Book it, Vince'.

#4. Aleister Black Vs Shisuke Nakamura

En
Imagine the ovation this match is going to get

Shinsuke Nakamura is the King of Strong Style. He never disappoints us. Enter Aleister Black, possibly the most dangerous and best striker on NXT. Imagine both of them having a match. The match is going to tear the house down. Imagine the stiff strikes they are going to land on each other.

Rumours suggest that Aleister Black is heading to the main roster after SummerSlam. He could possibly arrive on the Blue Brand. Aleister Black is a former NXT Champion(recently lost the title to Tommaso Ciampa) and Shinsuke Nakamura is the current United States Champion. Also, Shinsuke Nakamura is mostly walking out of SummerSlam still the United States Champion. The fans would love to see Aleister Black having his first feud against Shinsuke Nakamura and I personally think that knee strikes from both will play a major role. Battle of Kinshasa and Black Mass will be one for the ages as it will be interesting to see if Aleister Black will get the knee to face or fade Nakamura to BLACK.

#3. Velveteen Dream Vs John Cena

nter
Imagine these two in the same ring

John Cena has been the 'Face that Runs the Place' for the past 15 years. He is a record 16-time World Champion. Enters Velveteen Dream. Possibly one of the most over wrestlers in the world today. Velveteen has been killing it on NXT and has been praised by legends and Hall of Famers include John Cena. John Cena has himself stated in a Q&A that he believed that Velveteen Dream is "The One" and that he would love to face Velveteen Dream. Velveteen Dream also responded to tweet responding it possibly as a YES by saying whenever he wants.

If Cena is the most passionate wrestler in WWE, then Velveteen Dream is arguably one of the most charismatic wrestlers in the WWE. Considering he is just 22 and has a bright future ahead of him, the fans would love Cena to put over Dream in the match. Imagine the next 15 years for Dream in the company. If Dream gets to the main roster when Cena arrives, WWE should book Cena's returning rivalry against Dream and let Cena feel the "D-R-E-A-M".

#2. Johnny Gargano Vs Daniel Bryan

Ente
"This is Awesome"

Possibly the greatest underdog of the generation: Daniel Bryan. Who can forget his fight against the Authority and finally achieving his dreams by becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion in the main event of WrestleMania 31?

The leader of the Yes Movement was forced to retire from in-ring competition after getting injured in 2016. Again he fought for his dreams and was cleared for wrestling by WWE before WrestleMania. Daniel Bryan is possibly most over wrestler in the business. Whenever he enters, the fans can't stop chanting 'Yes'.

Then comes Johnny Gargano. A complete underdog giving us best matches WWE has ever produced on weekly basis. Gargano is the most over wrestler in NXT. Whenever he comes out, the fans can't stop from chanting 'Johnny Wrestling'. Johnny Gargano recently gave us two five-star matches and the first WWE five-star match since 2011.

What if these two underdogs fight a match? What will happen? Who is going to win? Who is going to get support? Many questions will arise. Johnny Wrestling Vs Daniel Bryan. The Gargano-escape vs Yes Lock.

One thing is for sure, this would be a five-star classic. Daniel Bryan said before NXT TakeOver: New Orleans that he wanted Johnny Gargano to lose so that he comes to SmackDown Live. But, Gargano said he would love to accomplish more at NXT. The match between two is not going to happen for quite some time as Gargano is still in NXT and involved in a historic feud with Tommaso Ciampa and Daniel Bryan is involved in a rivalry with The Miz. But whenever it happens, the wrestling world will not be the same.

#1. AJ Styles Vs Adam Cole

Enter captio
This will surely tear the house down

AJ Styles is arguably the best wrestler in the world right now. The only wrestler along with Gallows & Anderson to go straight to the main roster without even going through NXT. Debuting in 2016, he has been 2-time United States Champion and a two time and current WWE Champion. He has truly been phenomenal since arriving in WWE.

Talk about Adam Cole, he surely has shocked the system since arriving in NXT. He is currently the leader of most dominant force in WWE, The Undisputed Era. The former ROH World Champion is the current and first ever North American Champion. Adam Cole is possibly the most charismatic wrestler in WWE.

The fact is Adam Cole is too big of a wrestler to be on NXT for too long. He might be going to the main roster whenever he loses his title(rumours suggest that he might be losing to Ricochet) and will head to the main roster with the Undisputed Era.

Imagine the scenario if he truly shocks the system and makes a statement by attacking AJ Styles with his stablemates. AJ Styles might get the support of his club members Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. The two have battled each other in ROH and tore the house down. They can do the same by having a match in WWE. This could lead to a match between The Club and Undisputed Era.

But the fans would personally love to see Adam Cole Vs AJ Styles and the match is truly going to be Phenomenal.
