Gail Kim, the first ever Knockouts Champion, has now returned to WWE, and it would be interesting to see her in the ring with the likes of Awesome Kong and Angelina Love again. Also, Beth Phoenix and Victoria are the power houses of the WWE Divas, but could any of them measure up to Awesome Kong?

5. Standard Match

TNA: Samoa Joe vs. WWE: Umaga

This is a match that I have wanted to see for a while. The Samoan Submission Machine (Joe) vs. the Samoan Bulldozer (Umaga). Pit the TNA Champion against the old Umaga (not the one that jobs to Jeff Hardy), and your in for a match.

If they were both still undefeated, it would be even more entertaining to see these two Samoans fight knowing that their streak was on the line. Their styles are different, and yet somehow, they match up evenly, and it's anyones guess who would win this encounter.

4. Tables, Ladder, and Chairs

TNA: A.J. Styles vs. WWE: Evan Bourne

Tables, ladders, chairs, and anything else that you could jump off of, on to, in to, etc. Styles and Bourne would put on a high flying clinic. Maybe they've met on the independent scene before, but as far as I'm concerned, I've never seen these two in the same ring. If you blinked once, you would probably miss something amazing. The whole match would be a highlight reel. Both have the shooting star press in their arsenal, and it would be interesting to see who could get it off first.

3. No Disqualification Match

TNA: Christian Cage vs. WWE: Edge

Those who started watching wrestling after the Invasion angle may not be aware that Edge and Christian are "brothers" in the wrestling world. As a team in WWE, they had many classic encounters with the Hardy Boyz and the Dudley Boyz (Team 3D).

The two also feuded after splitting up, but that was a mid-card feud. Since those days, Edge and Christian have been the world champions for two different companies. Put these two in the ring, after they both established themselves as world champions, and it results in a brawl to determine who is truly better between the two.

2. Iron Man Match

TNA: Sting vs. WWE: Shawn Michaels

It is a shame that wrestling fans will never get to see this match. HBK never worked for WCW, and Sting never worked for WWE, preventing fans from seeing what I think would be the greatest match of all time.

Two great wrestlers, even as they age (Sting is 49 and Michaels is 43), they are still two of the most talented wrestlers active today. If they fought for one night only, it would have to be in an Iron Man match. One pinfall wouldn't satisfy the crowd. Put these two in the ring for half an hour (an hour in my opinion, but most wrestling fans wouldn't sit through that), and see who can gain the most pinfalls over their opponent.

A sure classic, it's a shame that fans will never see these two wrestle.

1. Elimination Free for All Tag Team Match

TNA: Jeff Jarrett, Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner, Matt Morgan, Rhino vs. WWE: Batista, C.M. Punk, John Cena, Triple H, and Chris Jericho

The concept is simple: if you get pinned, you are eliminated. The last two men remaining, no matter what team they are in fight. Whoever gets the final pinfall, reigns on top of the WWE/TNA universe. There is no doubt in my mind that Triple H and Kurt Angle would be the final two men in the ring. However, the person who gets the last pinfall is up in the air. Needless to say, Triple H would do whatever it took to claim his rightful position as the King of Kings.

Another Match: A little entertainment for the young ones in the audience, put all the crazy gimmicks in a battle royal. From TNA, you have, The Guru, Maple Leaf Muscle, Black Machismo, Curryman, Super Eric, and Sharkboy. Representing WWE, Jimmy Wang Yang, Boogeyman, Charlie Haas (as whoever he pleases), Festus, and last, but not least, Hornswoggle. Make this the opening match before the tag team turmoil match.

Note: Gail Kim has not officially signed with WWE, however, I put her in the match assuming she will sign some time soon.
