5 then vs now dream matches for Roman Reigns 

#4 Roman Reigns vs Hulk Hogan

It has to be said, especially now, that Roman Reigns would have been the perfect villain for Hulk Hogan and his wild ride to Hulkamania. Reigns oozes charisma in his current role, as did Hogan as the titanic hero to the fans.

The villainous Roman Reigns and his Bloodline affiliation would have to fend against the superhero Hulk Hogan against all odds. It goes without saying that any match would need to capture the attention of the fans before they even get in the ring.

The focus would and could never be on an in-ring wrestling exhibition; it would be a focus on monumental hype and the feeling of big spectacle.

It would be a case of the white-hot intensity of Hulk Hogan as opposed to the ice-cool Roman Reigns, who would need to stretch to callous means of disposing of Hogan.

They could even harken back to The Rock vs Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania, with Roman Reigns sharing a Bloodline affiliation.

#3 Roman Reigns vs Shawn Michaels

Roman Reigns has always been one to produce magic with those of a leaner stature.

AJ Styles, Finn Balor, Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan have all produced great matches with the Tribal Chief. Roman Reigns just seems to click with these workers cut from the same cloth. All of the above mentioned names will name Shawn Michaels on their list of inspirations.

Shawn Michaels was a unique blend of sports entertainment, raw charisma, supreme in-ring work rate and storytelling. His matches with the Undertaker have become symbols of WrestleMania and its magic.

His feuds with Triple H and Bret Hart have become focal points in the storied history of wrestling. Roman Reigns and Shawn Michaels would have been the stuff of legend.

Shawn Michaels was always a supremely talented worker and had a history clashing with the very best in the business both past and present. He would work with Reigns simply because he was a dream match conoisseur and he couldn't help himself.

And in the same way any match between Shawn Michaels and Roman Reigns would have to be instant classics, because they would have to be.
