10 Biggest Dream Matches WWE Can Still Book

2. Shinsuke Nakamura Vs. AJ Styles

AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura have only been part of the same main roster brand for six months, but they've teased a potential singles bout on multiple occasions.

The duo met backstage shortly after Nakamura's promotion to SmackDown, and engaged in a brief, exciting showdown during this year's Money in the Bank ladder match. The hints have since dried up, but the blue brand's shallow roster means the bout will almost certainly happen in the future, and it's something the fans should be very, very excited about.

Styles and Nakamura stole the show at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10. It was both man's last big match before departing for WWE, and they left nothing in the tank, crafting a true modern day classic through 25 minutes of frantic action and high drama. Matching it would be a tall order, particularly when considering the breadth of WWE's in-ring restrictions, but we're talking about two of the best wrestlers in the world here. Of course they'd kill it.

Styles vs. Nakamura is the kind of high-workrate spectacle SmackDown desperately needs after five months of Jinder Mahal as WWE Champion, and booking it would right many of the wrongs committed throughout 'The Maharaja's' reign.
