where did you get that information from? shamrock signed to wwe because the pay days were so much larger than ufc at the time and more consistent - and it was wwe officials that screwed their feud potential, not shamrock or Severn opting out... At the 2:00 minute mark, Prichard is asked why the match didn't take place at King of the Ring

With very few exceptions, so the big money matches will require people that make their names outside of the company. Either guys that have and come back or those who to choose to make their name in the indies/ROH/Japan and then sign with WWE. Personally I'd really like to see Kenny Omega vs The Miz but I'm sure I'm in the minority there.
And what about the women? Who wouldn't want to see Trish Stratus vs Charlotte? Ivory and Bailey? Kharma (Awesome Kong) vs Rhonda Rousey?
Okay, maybe not that last one but you all get my point.

It’s gotta be Reigns vs Strowman in a Wrestlemania main event with Roman as the defending champion.
Strowman vs Lashley might be another big draw and also Seth vs AJ.

I wish The Club vs Shield seemed interesting to me but it's not. You have 3 main event caliber talents in The Shield and then you have Balor in The Club who alone hasn't had very great character development or protection. Then you have Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson who SHOULD be much bigger than they are as far as accomplishments and being taken serious is concerned.
We know that in WWE logic that a strong singles competitor beats a stronger Tag Team, which makes no sense but here we are.
Now if you had AJ, Balor and say Omega/Rhodes/Cole in there? Then I can see it being a dream match that's also got a believable story where it could go either way bc they're all legitimate former world champions. I might even go as far as to say The Elite (omega/bucks) vs the Shield would be better than The Shield vs Balor Club.
My Mega Money Matches would have to be:
Styles vs Rollins Styles as WWE Champ and Rollins as Universal Champ. The story writes itself.
As for Seth/AJ being bigger than Rock/Hogan, that's laughable. Aside Hogan/Andre and Rock/Austin, nothing will ever be bigger than that. Not even Sting/Taker a decade ago or Austin/Cena a decade ago. Just them standing in the ring face to face for those few moments had more emotion and reaction than a year of the current product albeit wasn't much of a technical matchup lmao but they told a helluva story without using damn near any mat wrestling ability. That's a very rare thing in this day and age.
TEAM BULLET CLUB vs TEAM WWE Team Bullet Club The Club(AJ/Balor/Gallows/Anderson) and The Elite (Omega/Bucks/Rhodes/Cole)
Team WWE The New Day (Woods/Kofi/Big E) The Shield (Ambrose/Reigns/Rollins) and The Wyatt Family (Wyatt/Harper/Rowan) -9v9 Mega Survivor Series Match
Rock vs Reigns Obviously but I would go a different way with it. Id turn Reigns heel and have him rampage through his opponents and have him slowly lose himself in the hatred and anger and even have Ambrose or Rollins try to confront him as a brother but it turns into a feud and he's completely out of control. Then I'd have the Rock be the one to come in and try to talk to him. Reigns beats him down and then they feud. The Rock has to beat him, for his own sake. They embrace at the end and Reigns finds himself. Sounds lame but I think it could work. It would make Reigns fresh and probably get him over.
Vince vs Bryan It sounds crazy but I think it could work as the final Bryan/Authority story if Vince had him beat down before hand and says hes going to forfeit his title shot/or go back to retirement since he's too hurt to compete and is a liability, then he comes down to the ring with his ribs taped up or something along those lines with interference where he barely gets any offense on Vince until the end. You gotta have a moment where it's for sure hes going to lose, the ultimate cheating moment and then he somehow makes it to kick out. I think they could do well. It's not exactly Austin/Vince bc he's not nearly half the believable badass that Austin was but I think it could work as he's very good at getting the fans to feel empathy toward him.
AJ or Bryan vs Strowman Classic David vs Goliath matchup
Triple H vs Batista No holds barred type matchup and no restrictions on the promos. They would demolish each other.
Batista vs Cena vs Lashley vs Orton In my opinion, arguably the four biggest stars of that era and have them finish what they started years ago. Batista and Lashley want one more shot at Cena for the losses they tool at his hands and Orton wants to remind them that he's bigger than all 3. One final time for old times sake.
Orton vs Samoa Joe or KO The Legend Killer has become the Legend and who else can you picture on the main roster who is brutal enough or hardcore enough to assume the mantle? The only two men who don't have any regard whether the opponent is young or old, male or female, good or bad, the real Heels, Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens. If you've seen either of their Indy days you know damn well they could put on a brutal match with Orton if Orton was willing to bleed, be punished and pass that torch. Owens and Joe have to be the two most brutal competitors on the roster with Ambrose right next to them but these two are far more intimidating.
Triple H vs The Rock The final chapter. Who's the better man? It writes itself.
Cody Rhodes vs Orton Orton retired his father, took him in, trained him and then kicked him to the curb. Now the student must surpass the teacher. The Legacy comes full circle. Good vs Evil. Dream vs Viper.

AJ - HBK
Not likely, but honestly that may be the biggest money match still possible.
Rock - Reigns would draw because of Rock
If Austin wrestled one more, that would definitely draw
Past that, there’s not many “light the world on fire” matches

I think if you could get Sara Del Rey out of rerirement, her and Asuka, Charlotte, or other technically gifted female talent would rock the house.

I don't think there are any matches between anybody on the current active roster that would legitimately draw an unusual PPV buyrate/views/whatever, except MAYBE Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz, but IMO they should be saving that for the WWE title match main event at 'Mania this year. Everybody on the roster is overexposed. First-time-ever matches don't seem special at all unless they have some Attitude Era/Ruthless Aggression era type of guy in them. CM Punk could probably do good business as a special attraction too. But this overexposure in conjunction with very questionable booking over the past five years has prevented WWE from creating any superstars with real mystique to them. Braun and Bryan both have that IMO but neither is the face of their respective brands. I think a competent booker could write Miz/Bryan long-term as a Wrestlemania main event with an almost unprecedented backstory and real HEAT. But instead of getting this: - Miz wins MITB
- Miz successfully cashes in in most cowardly heel way possible
- Miz refuses to give Bryan a title show because he isn't worthy
- Miz prevents Bryan from winning #1 contender's matches and barely survives whoever he faces instead
- Bryan has to win the Rumble to get a guaranteed Mania shot at Miz
- Bryan wins the Rumble, then wins the title in the main event of Wrestlemania in an all-time classic moment i.e. WM30
Instead they decided two weeks ago to book them for Summerslam so we have to distill that entire storyline above into five weeks of hype.
