After reading the discussion in the Divas thread about the length of the Kaitlyn/Eve feud, I got curious as to what are some of the longest feuds in WWE history. Off the top of my head I've got these three: Kaitlyn vs Eve (August 10, 2012 - Still Ongoing): 156+ days Number of matches: 7 (8th match already announced) {Spoiler}After weeks of trying to become Booker T's assistant, Eve complains to him when he gives the job to Kaitlyn after telling Eve that there were no spots open, so he sets up Kaitlyn vs Eve to determine the assistant and Eve wins. Kaitlyn wins a #1 contenders Battle Royal by eliminating Eve and is set to face Layla at Night of Champions. During the build to NoC, Eve beats Kaitlyn again. At NoC, Kaitlyn gets taken out and Eve replaces her, winning the Divas Title. Kaitlyn gets her scheduled title match on Raw but loses. Kaitlyn and Layla face Eve at Hell in a Cell for the Divas title and Eve retains. Kaitlyn becomes #1 contender by beating Layla and loses to Eve at Survivor Series. At TLC, Kaitlyn is on her way to win a Battle Royal to face Eve yet again, but she costs her the match. The following night at the Slammys, Kaitlyn beats Eve clean and beats Eve in a title match by DQ on SuperSmackdown. Kaitlyn then beat Eve again in a title match on Raw, but she won by count out, so the title doesn't change hands. It was then announced that Kaitlyn would get another title match on the 20th anniversary episode of Raw. Alberto Del Rio vs Sheamus (April 2, 2012 - September 16, 2012): 168 days Number of matches: 6 {Spoiler}Alberto Del Rio returns the night after Wrestlemania and announces to Sheamus that if he can beat him on Smackdown, he'll get a title shot; he ends up winning but doesn't face him at Extreme Rules due to Yesamania going wild. After Sheamus retains, he's scheduled to face Del Rio at Over the Limit, but Randy Orton and Chris Jericho get added to the mix; Sheamus Retains. Alberto Del Rio wins a Triple Threat match against Kane and Randy Orton to face Sheamus at No Way Out, but he suffers a concussion and gets replaced by Dolph Ziggler. Del Rio returns the night after No Way Out and faces Ziggler in a contract on a pole match to find out who will face Sheamus on Smackdown. The match ends in a draw and both men face him; Sheamus retains when he pins Ziggler and Del Rio gets named #1 contender by default for Money in the Bank. Sheamus retains clean again and Del Rio wins a Fatal-4-Way against Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan and Kane to face Sheamus at Summerslam; Sheamus wins again. Del Rio wins his last #1 contenders match by beating Randy Orton; Sheamus wins again to end the feud.
Mark Henry vs Batista (December 30, 2005 - July 15, 2006): around 198 days Number of matches: 0 {Spoiler}Batista was supposed to feud with Mark Henry but he got injured and the feud was postponed. When Batista came back, in mid-2006, Mark Henry got injured right before their match at GAB. When Henry returned in May 2007, the feud was dropped. So anything else? |

Cena vs Orton for most of 2009 comes to mind. For the sake of this, let's just say that the feud in 09 started at that year's Night of Champions. (July 26, 2009- October 25th, 2009 (The Iron-Man match at Bragging Rights))- 92 days, which is kinda surprising since it felt like they had feuded for a lot longer. If you really want to be picky, you can say that the feud really ended on the 2009 Slammy show, which would bring the total up to 142 days. |

How long did Matt Hardy vs MVP last? That was a long feud with a fairly lengthy tag title run in the middle of it.

Didn't Shawn Michaels and Triple H feud for like two years straight? On and off yeah, although if the OP considers the Henry/Batista thing as one long feud then I would consider HHH vs. HBK to be one long feud too. |

Mankind vs. The Undertaker April 1st, 1996 - June 28, 1998 (819 days) I wouldn't count that one because they had other feuds between their matches. |

Randy Orton is the king of overlong feuds. Undertaker in 2005. Triple H in 2008/2009. John Cena in 2009.
Even when he's in a feud that length wise isn't even that long it can feel like far longer than it really is. His feud with Christian technically only lasted 3 months but felt like an eternity. Probably because of the 6 matches they had he won 5 of them and the won he lost was by DQ and he killed Christian after the match anyway.

Mankind vs. The Undertaker April 1st, 1996 - June 28, 1998 (819 days) Add another one year and three months to that end part. It didn't really end until the Buried Alive match on SMACKDOWN with the tag straps up for grabs. |

Didn't Shawn Michaels and Triple H feud for like two years straight? (Sorry for the double post). On and off for four years is a better estimate. Ironically, their feud started with a DX Reunion, and it ended with a DX Reunion. |

Didn't Shawn Michaels and Triple H feud for like two years straight? On and off yeah, although if the OP considers the Henry/Batista thing as one long feud then I would consider HHH vs. HBK to be one long feud too. I counted it as one feud because one of the guys in it couldn't feud with someone else. So, Henry/Batista is one feud because, while Henry was facing Taker at Mania, Batista couldn't face anyone and, when he came back, he went back to feuding with Henry. While HBK/HHH was a number of feuds because both feuded with other people before facing each other again. So in that case, let me add this: Mark Henry vs Big Show (June 17, 2011 - January 29, 2012): 227 days. |
