Dream Match for each current NXT Champ on the Main Roster

Ricochet & AJ Styles have faced each other in the past.

Each champion in NXT will probably eventually make their way to the main roster. Undisputed Era, Kairi Sane, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will all soon be joining Raw or SmackDown Live. There are several dream matches awaiting them at either brand. However, there is one dream match that is best for each current champion on the main roster.

Here we list out which opponent would be a dream opponent for each of our current NXT champions.


Undisputed Era vs The Shield

The Undisputed Era has been dominant since they debuted (like the Shield was).

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

The Undisputed Era (Roderick Strong & Kyle O'Reilly) are the NXT Tag Team Champions. However, their biggest dream match involves their leader and stablemate, Adam Cole. This will be a 6-man tag team match (possibly with a stipulation such as a tornado or elimination tag team match) involving The Shield. This match has a lot of potential as all 6 men are excellent in-ring competitors. This can tell a great story as the Undisputed Era can remind The Shield of what they once were. The Shield can then want to remind the WWE Universe that there is only one Shield.

The Undisputed Era can be the cocky newcomers and The Shield can be the superstars that try to put them in their place. Hopefully, the Shield doesn't break up soon, so that this match can happen in the future.

Ricochet vs AJ Styles

A match between these 2 can certainly be given a 5-star rating.
A match between these 2 can certainly be given a 5-star rating.

Ricochet and AJ Styles are two of WWE's best in-ring performers. They are both incredible, high-flying athletes that can tear the house down against any opponent they fight. Ricochet has been compared to AJ Styles due to how fast he's risen up the ranks in NXT.

These competitors are both well-rounded performers that can have an excellent match together. They have both hit moves that have never been seen before and have had some of 2018's best matches of the year.

If this match is even as half as good as their matches on the independent scene, we can be in for a real treat. Hopefully, Ricochet will be sent to Raw or SmackDown Live and not 205 Live so that we can see this match in the near future.

Kairi Sane vs Asuka

These 2 superstars have a well-documented friendship.

Kairi Sane probably would have ended Asuka's streak if it weren't for an injury that she suffered. WWE has the chance to make it up to us if we can see this dream match when Kairi Sane goes to the main roster.

Sane and Asuka have very different move sets as the former has an explosive high flying style while the latter has a more submission and strike based style. I believe that their styles can mesh well together and that the two can have an amazing match together.

This would be a great match for the Smackdown Women's Championship and could possibly the best women's championship match ever. Asuka would have to turn heel for this to work so that Sane can be the adorable but aggressive wrestler that we saw at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 4.

ommaso Ciampa vs Daniel Bryan

Tommaso Ciampa is hated by the NXT Universe

These 2 superstars are polar opposites of each other. While Daniel Bryan is loved and adored by the WWE Universe, Tommaso Ciampa gets more heat than any other WWE Superstar on any roster.

Ciampa worked well with an underdog like Johnny Gargano (and should work just as well with another underdog like Daniel Bryan). These two can have excellent matches against each other (however, please don't allow Ciampa to hit Bryan with a DDT on the concrete or the exposed ring).

Ciampa will definitely get booed when targeting a fan-favorite in Daniel Bryan, while Bryan will definitely get cheered when fighting back against a detestable human being like Ciampa.

Imagine the things that Tommaso Ciampa can say about Brie Bella and Birdie in his promos! This would be an amazing match as both superstars are incredibly well-rounded in the ring.
