Ultimately, the job of a professional wrestler isn’t to win matches, championships, or any particular sort of acclaim. At its core, being a sports entertainer is really just about getting the WWE Universe to react. It doesn’t even matter if they cheer, boo, or just gasp in utter shock, so long as the tens of thousands of people jam packed into any given arena are interested in what a given wrestler has to offer.
It’s for this reason that wrestlers aren’t primarily defined by their weight classes, skill sets, or characters. Sure, those things matter, but none are nearly as important as the very simple matter of whether they’re a babyface or a heel. If they’re a face, the crowd should go wild at their every gesture. When a heel walks down the aisle, the opposite should be the case, with the wrestler getting booed out of the building from the moment they arrive.
Chances are anyone reading this quiz with aspirations of becoming a WWE superstar has already decided which side their own character would fall on. Just in case you’re wondering what wrestling history has to say about it, though, or maybe because you need a little confirmation, we’ve got the perfect quiz for you. Keep reading to pick the winners of these WWE dream matches, and we’ll reveal whether you’d be a heel or face.
Who would win a match between John Cena and Rusev?
Much like Hulk Hogan before him, as the Face of WWE, John Cena also often takes it upon himself to defend truth, justice, and the American way. Believe it or not, he’ll even promote this oppressive patriotism on holidays held special to other countries, like Bulgaria’s Rusev Day.
Do you prefer Seth Rollins or Roman Reigns?
By architecting The Shield’s original breakup, Seth Rollins ensured neither of his brothers Roman Reigns nor Dean Ambrose would ever trust him again. On the plus side, the fans are occasionally on his side either way, which is more than the Big Dog is usually able to say.
Who do you like more, Matt Hardy or Jeff Hardy?
The Hardy Boyz aren’t the first pair of real life brothers to turn into a WWE tag team, yet they may well be the most successful. However, they were also amongst the most competitive and combative, getting into heated feuds whenever their success as a duo started to fade.
Which wrestler turned actor do you like more, The Rock or Batista?
Inside the squared circle, few superstars can match the star power of The Rock or Batista. At the box office, the two somehow manage to fare even better. By the numbers, Rocky is currently winning that war, but which wrestler would come out on top in the ring?
Which wrestler is better, Dean Ambrose or Bray Wyatt?
No two wrestlers in the WWE Universe today are crazier or more unhinged than Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt. Of course, the Lunatic Fringe’s brand of insanity makes fans go wild, while Wyatt’s tends more towards the horror variety, causing them to sit on the edge of their seats.
Who would win between Braun Strowman and Kane?
Kane may be from hellfire and brimstone, but the rise of Braun Strowman shows a friendly monster can be just as destructive and dangerous. Then again, he’s not always that friendly, tipping over ambulances one day and then palling around with 10-year-old tag team partners the next.
Who do you prefer, The Big Show or The Undertaker?
For all the talk about how The Big Show is the world’s largest athlete, not even his hands the size of frying pans can stand against the dark energy of The Undertaker. Only through great effort can a man of any size fell the Phenom.
Do you prefer Xavier Woods or Kofi Kingston?
It’s hard to think of a more mutually supportive unit than The New Day, with Xavier Woods in particular always rushing to the aide of his buddy Kofi Kingston. However, there’s no denying the two of them could have an incredible match if tensions ever started to build.
Who do you like more, AJ Styles or Shinsuke Nakamura?
Whether in Japan or the United States, talent like AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura are bound to rise to the top extremely fast. In addition to constantly innovative offense, the Phenomenal One and the King of Strong style also possess a boundless charisma, making it hard to pick between them.
Which wrestler do you prefer, Kevin Owens or Chris Jericho?
Not all best friendships are bound to last forever, and some brilliantly explode like the pairing of Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho. That said, this was a surprising example, as the two arrogant and vicious superstars seemed perfectly suited for one another from the moment they started teaming together.
Who do you like better, Sami Zayn or Jinder Mahal?
After several years near the bottom of the card, Jinder Mahal shocked the world by jumping to the WWE Championship scene and winning the gold. Many have been hoping for Sami Zayn to do something similar for quite a while, only for his efforts to repeatedly come up short.
Who do you prefer, Dolph Ziggler or Bobby Roode?
Glorious as they come, Bobby Roode instantly shot to the top of NXT upon his arrival. Of course, it takes more than a mere Show Off to reach the peak of the WWE Universe, as Dolph Ziggler’s inability to break through has been proving throughout his entire career.
Which wrestler do you like more, Jason Jordan or Chad Gable?
When working together, American Alpha were one of the most exciting tag team on NXT or SmackDown Live. Separately, they haven’t been quite so successful, but only because fans believe WWE miscast immediately miscast them both. Removed from Kurt Angle and Shelton Benjamin, they’d still be rising stars.
Who do you prefer, Finn Bálor or Cesaro?
Despite Vince McMahon constantly overlooking their talents, wrestling fans are well aware Cesaro and Finn Bálor have both done everything in their efforts to grab that brass ring. Even if World Championships elude them, they’ll never stop wrestling some of the best matches on any given show.
Do you prefer Sheamus or The Miz?
Given how much The Miz talks, chances are there are plenty of fans waiting for someone to pop the guy in his mouth and shut him up. Always ready for battle, Sheamus would be happy to oblige with a Brogue Kick. Of course, Miz will be prepared to fight back.
Which wrestler do you like more, Randy Orton or Daniel Bryan?
Before Daniel Bryan’s injuries forced him into temporary retirement, WWE management implicitly passed him over in favor of Vince McMahon’s golden boy, Randy Orton. Only time will tell if that will happen again now that Bryan is back. Would it have you screaming YES or NO?
Who would win between Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar?
Equally tough, intense, and seemingly indestructible, whenever Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar collide, it feels like the very Earth could collapse. Neither man will ever back down, leading to destructive wars of attrition that shake the very foundation of the WWE Universe. Could either one of them survive another battle?
Which wrestler do you prefer, R-Truth and Goldust?
The less said about the Golden Truth the better, but that doesn’t mean Goldust and R-Truth weren’t both decent performers in their own right removed from that team. In addition to their considerable ring skills, both men are also amongst the funniest wrestlers in the WWE Universe. Are you laughing?
Who do you like more, Drew McIntyre or Andrade “Cien” Almas?
If NXT is the future of WWE (and it is), then the sky is the limit for Drew McIntyre and Andrade “Cien” Almas. The only difference between the two is experience, as McIntyre has already been up and down the main roster once before. Does that make him the winner?
Which wrestler do you prefer, Sasha Banks or Alexa Bliss?
Everything Sasha Banks does proves she’s The Boss, while Alexa Bliss’s facial expressions inform fans that she’s…well, a very mean, angry young woman. Personality differences aside, these two are both incredible athletes who can put on a great show against any opponent. How would they do against each other?
Which wrestler is better, Big E or Big Cass?
Plenty of WWE superstars are on the larger size, yet only a select few have been so bold as to make this fact part of their names. Big E and Big Cass also share a certain free-spirited personality, although they choose to show this off in wildly unique ways.
Which wrestler do you prefer, Fandango or No Way Jose?
Only a supremely confident wrestler would have the audacity to dance the blues away regardless of the outcome of their latest match. Well, or an extremely arrogant one, as has long been the case with Fandango. Luckily, No Way Jose isn’t quite so rude about his joyful exuberance.
What wrestler would win between Tyler Breeze and Zack Ryder?
Stylish and fashionable, Zack Ryder and Tyler Breeze are both men who understand popular trends. The difference is how they apply them, with Ryder using his flair to make him an underdog hero, while Breeze is a proud member of the Fashion Police. Are you in the same boat?
Who do you like more, Charlotte Flair or Becky Lynch?
As the women’s revolution began to define itself, few superstars were more proactive about making an impact than Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. Once good friends behind the scenes, they’ve since become regular enemies in the ring now that they’ve graduated from NXT to the WWE Universe.
Which cruiserweight do you like more, Sin Cara or Cedric Alexander?
Now that WWE has created 205 Live, cruiserweights have a full hour each week to shine (plus whatever time they get on Raw). This has allowed Cedric Alexander to become a star, but it’s also true that men like Sin Cara could achieve this status before the show was made.
What team would win between The Bludgeon Brothers and The Authors of Pain?
Some men were born simply to destroy things, and that seems to be the case for Akam, Rezar, Luke Harper, and Erick Rowan. This destructive streak has led to two tag teams in the Authors of Pain and the Bludgeon Brothers, both taking great pleasure in ripping apart their enemies.
Who do you prefer, Ember Moon or Asuka?
Thanks to the women’s revolution, female wrestlers are now becoming tougher and scarier than ever before. None better represent this than the vicious Empress of Tomorrow Asuka, yet the mysterious witch-eyed menace that is Ember Moon might actually come pretty close. Could she even find a way to win?
Which wrestler do you like more, Gentleman Jack Gallagher or The Brian Kendrick?
Grizzled, dirty, unwashed and always appearing somewhat slightly dazed, The Brian Kendrick is anything but a gentleman. Obviously, a man with the word in his ring name like Jack Gallagher prefers to act a bit more dignified. Of course, these superficial qualities don’t effect their ring presence all that much.
What tag team would win in a match between The Revival and The Ascension?
For whatever reason, Vince McMahon doesn’t always push NXT tag teams the way they deserve. The Ascension know this pain well, turning into jokes immediately upon the call up. The Revival haven’t been so unlucky, yet things haven’t exactly gone great for them, either. Do you still like them anyway?
Do you prefer Baron Corbin or Shelton Benjamin?
Eschewing the company of others to prove he doesn’t need any help, Baron Corbin proudly calls himself a Lone Wolf. By contrast, Shelton Benjamin’s greatest fame in wrestling has generally come in the tag team division, and while wrestling the indy darling style Corbin claims to hate.
Who would win in a match between Bayley and Carmella?
Proudly calling herself the Princess of Staten Island, chances are Carmella is a pretty happy camper most of the time. That said, she’s got nothing on the hyper optimistic hugger Bayley, who never fails to wear a smile even after a harsh defeat. Who makes you grin?
Which wrestler is better, Bo Dallas or Curtis Axel?
Quite frankly, The Miz choose a pretty weak band of midcarders to round out his Miztourage. Positive as they are, it’s not surprising then that the group didn’t accomplish much without their leader, especially since they were already struggling before teaming with him. Do you like one of them anyway?
Who would win in a match between Apollo Crews and Curt Hawkins?
If there’s anyone in the WWE Universe who could use a serious re-branding, it’s perennial loser Curt Hawkins. It’s been years since the poor guy won a match, and not even joining Titus Worldwide could do anything to fix this. Has it worked out for Apollo Crews?
Which wrestler do you like more, Rhyno or Bobby Lashley?
Just about everybody deserves a second chance in life, and Vince McMahon seems to think they also should get one in the WWE Universe. Neither Rhyno nor Bobby Lashley became particularly huge stars their first time around, but both are back and better than ever today.
Which Bella do you prefer, Nikki or Brie?
Total divas though they may be, there’s no denying the Bella Twins are two of the most popular women in the WWE Universe today. Even when they’re too busy with real life to keep mixing it up in the ring, fans are flocking to their reality show. Are you watching?
Who would win in a match between Heath Slater and Elias?
Using music as a metaphor, most singles wrestlers might see themselves as “one man bands.” Only Heath Slater had the audacity to call himself this, though it at least usually lead to comedy. Elias’s brand of folk music is equally entertaining, even as fans boo him out of the building.
Which manager do you like more, Maria Kanellis or Maryse?
Once solid performers in their own rights, Maria Kanellis and Maryse now choose to make a career out of standing by their men, who coincidentally are both named Mike. Obviously, they care a whole lot about their husbands, hence becoming the loudest members of their fan clubs.
Who would win in a match between Nia Jax and Tamina Snuka?
Throughout WWE history, there have always been one or two destructive monsters on the women’s roster, striking fear into the heart of the smaller divas who get all the attention. Nia Jax and Tamina Snuka both represent this concept today, using brute strength to overcome revolutionary ring skills.
Who would you rather see make a WWE comeback, CM Punk or Rey Mysterio?
Truth be told, it’s much more likely Rey Mysterio will return to WWE than CM Punk based on their latest appearances. That doesn’t mean this is the outcome fans necessarily want to see the most, with many pining for the Voice of the Voiceless to make his long awaited return.
Which NXT wrestler deserves a call-up first, Pete Dunne or Tyler Bate?
Based on the way things have been going, it looks like the future of WWE may begin in Jolly Old England. In the very least, the matches between Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate over the new WWE UK Championship are already defining an era. Do you like their matches?
What team would win in a match between The Undisputed Era and SANitY?
Superstars looking to make a name for themselves in the WWE Universe often band together with like minded individuals. Recently, two groups have done this in NXT with the career-thinking Undisputed Era and the unhinged SANitY. Which of these up and coming innovative teams would you rather join?
Which wrestler do you prefer, Natalya Neidhart or Naomi?
Ensuring fans Feel the Glow whenever she wrestles, Naomi has recently been a rising star on the SmackDown women’s division. Slowing her down a little is Natalya Neidhart, a seasoned pro with a long family history of excellent execution. Which of them do you think would come out on top?
Who would win in a match between Titus O’Neil and Aiden English?
When a perennial tag team wrestler sticks around after their partner gets fired, they have to quickly reestablish their careers lest they meet the same fate. Titus O’Neil didn’t even hide his re-branding efforts, creating Titus Worldwide, while Aiden English went a different route, strongly supporting Rusev Day.
Which MMA fighter turned wrestler do you prefer, Ronda Rousey or Shayna Baszler?
Insofar as the mainstream media is concerned, NXT star Shayna Baszler probably wouldn’t stand a chance against her real buddy Ronda Rousey. When it comes to the wrestling ring, though, both women have already shown prodigious talents. Could they already be on the same level?
Which WWE legend would win in a match between “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan?
Throughout all of wrestling history, it’s hard to think of two icons more integral to the WWE Universe than Hulk Hogan and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. After Hulkamania put the company on the map in the ‘80s, the Rattlesnake added extra Attitude in the ‘90s to make it even bigger.
Who would win in a match between Liv Morgan and Mandy Rose?
Both blonde and beautiful, recent NXT call ups Mandy Rose and Liv Morgan definitely fit Vince McMahon’s mold for what a female WWE superstar should look like. They also have the strong personalities necessary to stand out. Which wrestler do you think will become a star first?
Who do you like more, Triple H or Vince McMahon?
For many years, the WWE Universe has been Vince McMahon’s empire, with no other human coming near his level of influence. Over the past few decades, though, his son-in-law Triple H has gradually been usurping Vince’s status as wrestling’s King of Kings. Who do you think is a better boss?
Do you prefer The Usos or The Colóns?
Family based tag teams have been around forever, and the current forbearers of the concept are The Usos, twin brothers Jimmy and Jey, and The Colóns, cousins Primo and Epico. Both teams have been WWE Tag Team Champions at least once and keep wrestling high paced matches to this day.
Which McMahon do you prefer, Shane or Stephanie?
The WWE Universe has always been the McMahon family playground, and with Vince gradually stepping away from the camera, that means his kids Shane and Stephanie are taking center stage. They also like to match their father’s penchant for pomp, circumstance, and ruthless aggression inside the squared circle.
Which General Manager do you like more, Kurt Angle or Paige?
The active wrestlers might be doing all the work in the ring, but as the General Managers of Raw and SmackDown, its Kurt Angle and Paige who decide what they do. Thus far, both authority figures have aimed to make fans happy. Who do you think is more successful?
