Omega and Styles were once allies, but many fans want to see them lock up in the ring

4. Dalton Castle (ROH) vs. Golddust (WWE)

Dalton Castle is like Gorgeous George mixed with Dean Malenko.

Dalton Castle is the 'just add water' instant sensation of ROH. His flamboyant outfits and outrageous, progressive-minded entrance are works of art in and of themselves, and he's a fantastic wrestler to boot. Golddust has escaped his famous father Dusty Rhodes's shadow by playing one of the most controversial and compelling characters of all time.

Why fans want to see this dream match: They are two sides of the same coin, portraying openly gay wrestlers. Dalton presents a much better image for the modern wrestling fan, while Golddust's character tapped into homophobia for heel heat. Seeing Dalton Castle vanquish Golddust would be like seeing old social mores eradicated in effigy.

Chances of this match happening: Fair. Dalton is definitely on the WWE's radar, as they have a habit of hiring former ROH champs (Samoa Joe, Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins, and AJ Styles have all held gold in ROH.) However, Golddust has to be getting close to a formal retirement given his age and the wear and tear on his body. It could happen, but don't hold your breath.
