2. Mustafa Ali vs. Will Ospreay
Trending
Mustafa Ali draws comparisons to various superstars outside WWE. Will Ospreay makes sense when compared to the former Retribution leader. The two are not only aerial geniuses but can adapt to any style.
Will Ospreay has his name on the shortlist for the best wrestler in the world. His catalog of classics against the likes of Kazuchika Okada, Shingo Takagi, and Kota Ibushi could stand up to anyone in the business. He'd be able to add another sublime bout if he squares off with Ali. These two could craft something brilliant.
1. Mustafa Ali vs. Kenny Omega
Whenever there's a dream opponent list for any WWE release, it might include Kenny Omega. The Cleaner has a long history of delivering in big match situations and epic dream matches. His five-star encounter against Chris Jericho at the NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 12 might just be the most important match in the past decade.
His incredible series against Kazuchika Okada helped elevate NJPW's legacy. It reinvented the in-ring work rate of the industry and has influence even in WWE. Omega has been a star from who many contemporaries have borrowed. One of them is Buddy Murphy.
The former Cruiserweight Champion earned the moniker of "The Best Kept Secret" with a litany of good-to-great matches against the best of the division. However, his highlight reel would be incomplete without his feud against Mustafa Ali. The two superstars consistently offered outstanding performances against one another on 205 Live and pay-per-view.
If Ali could deliver high quality with Murphy, there's no doubt he'd deliver the same against Kenny Omega. The Best Bout Machine's mix of hard-hitting offenses would mesh extremely well against Ali's versatility. These two men have the potential to produce a Match of the Year contender for any promotion.
Mustafa Ali jumping to AEW offers many tantalizing encounters. However, a bout against Kenny Omega is mouth-watering. The creativity Ali has displayed when it comes to his character could find its balance with Omega's fantastic innovation inside the squared circle. That's why Kenny Omega is the biggest dream match for Mustafa Ali outside of WWE.
