I saw the thread title and my first thought was, of course there has! Plenty!
Then when I sat and thought about it all I could think of was Zbysko/Sammartino and Adams/Austin. My life has been a lie.

Didn't they tease Lance Cade and Shawn Michaels briefly during the Jericho feud of 08? I remember rumours of Cade adopting a “HB-Cade” gimmick and moniker for that feud. |

All I have to add is that the line "I taught you everything you know, but not everything I know" has to be used at some point.

I assume not kayfabe examples. So no Ron Simmons vs. Ice Train (yes, this was the first thing that came to mind, as WCW TV pushed that line millions of times leading to their Clash match)?

Not exactly a feud but they made sure Nagata's last G1 match ever was against Bad Luck Fale and really played up that he trained Fale

In the dying days of WCW, Paul Orndorff teamed with the Filthy Animals to take on the Natural Born Thrillers, who he had trained at the power plant. It wasn’t a full fledged feud, but it’s in the ball park.

He murders Daryl leading to everyone hating him and then to everyone’s surprise he bows to Nagata after their match which was a great moment too |

I'm shocked at how little examples have been given. I'd have thought this to be a more common trope.

How about Great Sasuke vs. Taka Michinoku and the rest of Kaientai (Dick Togo, Men's Teioh, Sho "Kung" Funaki, and Kaz "Shiryu" Hayashi)? |

Forgive me a touch of purely self-indulgent personal nostalgia.
One of the only angles and subsequent matches I had that was worth a damn was against the guy who trained me. Big Derek Liddell (Big D...a nickname that probably wouldn't do as well these days), who had been working small UK shows for years, and ran the small promotion I worked for. He trained me, and properly took me under his wing and made me part of his family when I was going through an especially awful time as a kid. I just hung around at the shows a lot, and turned up when he was training guys (they did free admission (basically open doors to the old hangar he trained in and occasionally ran shows out of) so trainees could get some match experience in front of a handful of people other than the guys training them and other trainees). Eventually he put me in the ring, looked after me well (I was 13 when I started training, and in hindsight although I worked my ass off, bumping and doing cardio, I can see how much he protected me) and trained me up.
D was getting on at that stage, in his 60s and not in great health, he'd always been a big guy but he was getting bigger and slower, but still massively over with the regular fanbase he'd cultivated for years on his own little circuit. He couldn't do as much any more so he needed a Syxx, a young guy to come in and do the work for him, which was me. I didn't learn any offense for over a year of training, jut how to bump and sell, because well, who was going to believe much in the way of offense from a kid? Then a few weeks before my first match, his new partner, billed as a nephew (I was Lance Von Erich only people didn't reject it) he got me doing a few dropkicks etc, but told me just to go in, get battered, play Ricky and sell. I did, gave him his hot tag, and that was our formula.
As I got older I did more and more in ring as well. Then I hit 17 and started applying to go to University and he encouraged me to get the hell out of dodge and get away from my family which was properly messing me up at the time, so I applied to go to Portsmouth and got in. So I was leaving. So we needed an angle. So I turned on him. There wasn't many people there, 100-150 tops, but jeez I felt like I had proper heat when I laid him out with a chair (first time he took a chairshot too, D was old school). I went full heel, taunting him, sneak attacking this old man who everyone loved and backing off if I was directly challenged. We had a loser leaves town match, last man standing (sold the blood element and gimmicks were the only way D could work a solo match of any length at that stage), and we beat the hell out of each other. He gave me SO much of the match, which is hilarious in hindsight because he was 6'5 and enormous and while I'd put a lot of weight on, I was only about 5'7 at the time. Anyhow, we both got colour and he murdered me through a table for the finish. After he celebrated he got me back in the ring and raised my arm. I don't remember a lot of my time wrestling because I was doing...things I shouldn't have been...a lot at the time, but I remember being a bloody mess, in tears as he hugged me and the fans who had wanted me dead (I remember it that way, the heat probably wasn't anything like as intense I recall) chanted thank you.
That was my teacher student feud.
