Top 5 rivalries this decade

[Deleted]

I'm not talking about top 5 feuds, I'm talking about top 5 rivalries as in "damn, these guys are just hitting it out of the park, they feel like real rivals/enemies/opponents" in a way that it extends beyond 1 feud. An example is this, I'll get this one out of the way early.



Bryan and Miz.

This is a real rivalry. No matter what they did, it worked and it continues to work. On and off, on and off, they've got it in the bag. That's real. Another example is



Their rivalry is different than Miz and Bryan's because on screen they've been friends. From that you get enemies, their constant meetups, back and forth, that's real.

I'd say these 2 are in the top 5 of this decade.

What do you got?

[PTBartman]

Reigns vs The F.A.N.

[captainhindsite]

Gargano vs Ciampa

[Cieto]

Randy Orton and the Singh bros.

[Hit Girl]

Vince vs The WWE Universe.

[horseface]

CM Punk vs John Cena had a convincing thing going. Cena the happy-go-lucky good old american boy superface vs tattooed pissed off gangly guy from the indies.

Daniel Bryan vs The Miz

Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose

CM Punk vs The Rock

AJ Styles vs John Cena

The Authority vs Daniel Bryan

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Miz/Bryan is a good call. They are a natural pairing of an indie darling vs. a WWE management darling that doesn’t feel as forced as if it were say Roman Reigns in the Miz role.

Add to that Miz has turned into a great worker. Miz had the same problem Cena and Orton did of being pushed way too much given their skill sets early on. Yet, also like Cena and Orton anyone that can hang in the WWE at that level that long that doesn’t have big bulky bodies dragging them down (Henry, Big Show, etc.) turn into great workers.

Cena/Punk

Perfect rivals. Total opposites that gelled so well. They had an ongoing feud for two years. They were wrestling when the Nexus formed, early to late 2011, main event of RAW 1000 and into the second half of 2012, and finally culminating with that great RAW match in Feb 2013 that should have been the main event of WM 29. The shot of the end of the July 25, 2011 RAW thats in my sig just sums up the rivalry for me.

[The Rick Jericho]

Cena/Punk
Cena/Orton
Reigns/Lesnar
Cena/Rock
Triple H/Nash

[Crimson]

Vince vs the IWC

I prefer the Singh Brothers vs. their own sense of self preservation.

The latter has been losing in squashes.

Punk vs Establishment
Bryan vs Authority
Rollins vs Ambrose
Ambrose vs Styles
Michaels vs Undertaker (Still this decade)

I didn't even see their NXT rivalry nor did I see their US Title rivalry and yet I'd put them on this list based on everything I'd seen post 2011. All of their little interactions and such make it worth it compared to most rivalries.

Kind of surprised that no ones mentioned Owens/Zayn yet. They may be allies now but their feud was great and you just kn9w that their partnership just isn't going to last.
