5 Dream WWE-NJPW Crossover Matches

#2 John Cena (WWE) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi (NJPW)

Two of the biggest faces of their companies at their prime.

This match combination is one that the entire world would love to see, as you have two wrestlers who were the faces of their companies at the exact same time.

Hiroshi Tanahashi was the man that led NJPW's comeback from being in one of the worst positions you could ever imagine a company would be, to the second-best pro wrestling company in the world- just behind WWE. He is arguably the best in-ring performer in the wrestling business today as he can put on a fantastic match with just about anybody.

As for John Cena, he was a superstar that rose from a trash-talking rapper into WWE's biggest franchise player at the time. Cena was the one who had to hold the ship tightly together following a fall in ratings in the WWE, and he did so successfully.

Unlike Tanahashi, Cena was a superstar that was constantly hated in the WWE despite being the biggest babyface in the company- however, you can't deny Cena's ability to also put on a fantastic match.

Tanahashi is one of the best story-tellers in the wrestling ring today, and he doesn't have the same charisma that Cena possesses. But Tanahashi is also definitely more technical than Cena when it comes to the ring. Both men are no longer at the peak of their careers, but they are still very recognized names in the wrestling industry today that would put on a stunning match if they were to ever face each other.
