3. Kurt Angle vs. ‘Big Match’ John Cena

Now, some of you are probably wondering why Cena’s name is on this list. After all, Angle wrestled Cena several times before he left. Well, that’s exactly it: Angle wrestled Cena back when Cena was still in the infancy of his main-event career. He hadn’t yet blossomed into the better big match wrestler he has since become. Though he’s still not the same caliber of a wrestler as others on this list, Cena would be a perfect dream opponent for Angle in terms of drawing power.

Cena’s a huge seller in WWE, and his big matches often draw the biggest of crowds. Since most casual fans tune in mostly into the Big Four PPVs, having John Cena take on a universally-acclaimed veteran like Kurt Angle after he has improved as a wrestler would draw major attention.

Casuals would want to see Angle perform in a WWE ring and defeat WWE’s Golden Boy, John Cena. Regular fans, meanwhile, would want to see Cena take on a major challenge, proving that he really has come a long way from his earlier work with Angle in the mid-2000s.

Since WWE gives Cena a lot of leeway in his matches, you could guarantee these guys would get top billing on a card and would be given plenty of time to tell a deep story. That match would go down in history as a true classic, as both guys would give it their all and push each other beyond their limits. The most intense wrestler in WWE vs. the superhuman strength of the Champ. What’s not to love?
