10 Biggest Dream Matches WWE Can Still Book
Fantasy booking WWE's deepest ever roster.
Playing 'fantasy booker' is one of the most exciting things about being a wrestling fan.
Those who follow the sport have been concocting potential dream matches for decades, and the practice will continue ad infinitum, particularly as wrestling's already-vast talent pool keeps growing in size and scope. The sport has never been as crammed with outstanding performers as it is today, and while many of the world's best workers still ply their trade on the smaller stages, the pool's depth is reflected in WWE.
Raw, SmackDown, and NXT are stuffed to the gills at the moment. Pure in-ring action has never been Vince McMahon's top focus, but his company certainly possesses the talent to adapt a more workrate-focused approach - and absolutely thrive with it.
WWE have already delivered countless dream matches in 2017, but haven't exactly maximised their potential. John Cena vs. Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton were given away on free television, while Cena vs. Roman Reigns was burned on a B-level PPV. Regardless, the company's colossal roster means they still have plenty of great bouts left in the chamber, and the options become even more enticing when extended beyond full-timers...
10. The Shield Vs. The New Day
Booking The Shield vs. The New Day would be a tall order for WWE. The Ambrose/Rollins/Reigns reunion isn't expected to extend beyond a couple of months, Roman is sidelined with a viral infection, and the two stables currently occupy different brands. Throw the fact that they're both working as babyfaces into the equation, and you're left with one of our least likely matches.
What a bout it would be, though.
The Shield are WWE's greatest modern stable, and their return provoked mass excitement prior to Reigns' hospitalisation. The New Day, meanwhile, have inherited their role as the company's top trio, and a group WWE clearly see long-term money in, given recent reports that they plan on having them break the Dudley Boyz's long-held record of nine Tag Team Title reigns. Oh yeah, these trios also happen to consist of six of the best wrestlers in the company...
One of the biggest concerns surrounding The Shield's reunion was the lack of credible competition. The New Day are the only group that makes sense if WWE are to maximise the storyline, and the company should move heaven and hell to make it happen.
