Because one of the wrestlers got sooooo much bigger than the other that it would have seemed silly.
For example:
Test had a logical beef with HHH but they never fueled because they were trying to make HHH a main even tier dealing with Austin Rock, Foley and feuding with Test would be a huge Roadblock and when HHH finally became a Main event star, he was wayyyy too above Test for any kind of feud to be taken seriously.
Rock Usurps Farooq in the Nation.
Logical, yes. But no one wanted a Ron Simmons vs the Rock feud at the time.
Ditto with Wade Barrett and CM Punk. Nexus vs. New Nexus looked like where it would have headed but then he Dropped a Pipe Bomb.
Who knows when they’ll get around to Becky vs. Nia
Did Kofi ever get his revenge on Edge for stealing his EC spot?

Rock Usurps Farooq in the Nation. Logical, yes. But no one wanted a Ron Simmons vs the Rock feud at the time. While it wasn't a lengthy feud, they did feud from after Wrestlemania XIV until Over The Edge '98 where the had a match for the iC Title. The highlights included the Nation jumping Faarooq in the parking lot and Faarooq piledriving Rock on the stage more than once during the lead-in to the match at OTE. |

Shawn Michaels and Marty Janetty in 1995 and/or 1996. Right when Shawn turned face in 1995, a feud with a heel Janetty over the IC title would have been great. Ditto for Janetty being a challenger for Michael's world title reign. The story could have been sort of a "ghosts of the past" or an "I know you better than you know yourself" type of deal. Unfortunately, Shawn was a superstar by then and Marty was a punchline.

Who knows when they’ll get around to Becky vs. Nia Did Kofi ever get his revenge on Edge for stealing his EC spot? I think Test easily could have feuded with HHH. Test was massively over and got a big pop at the 2000 Rumble for instance. He was probably a little higher than the likes of Jericho at the time so it wouldn't have been too out of place. The only problem is the timing. You would still want HHH to feud with Foley at the Rumble and NWO and the Rock angle was too hot to ignore after that... What they could have done instead is replace HHH vs Vince at Armageddon with HHH vs Test. If Big Bossman was deemed good enough for a WWE Title match at that show then Test was definitely high enough on the totem pole to feud with HHH. Plus I feel like HHH vs Test makes more sense. |

While never went to PPV, HHH did face Test when Test got a mini push but Test broke his nose, just after Stephanie turned heel. They should had a feud to be honest because HHH before he turned heel remember Test cost HHH the title against the Rock early 99. |

Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart. I know they did some stuff with Neidhart being in Owen's corner against Bret, but I don't think it really went as far as it could have with the history between the two of them. With Jim Neidhart being such a big and powerful guy and Bret being Bret, I actually think that they could have had a really good feud.

Wade Barrett and Big Show. Similar to Nia and Becky. Show legit injures Barrett right before he's rumored to win Money in the Bank and get a big push.
Barrett was getting big reactions, and was over. Dude is out, he can come back to a big face pop and target Show for derailing his opportunity. People love a comeback story. Heel gets legit injured, comes back to a big face ovation.
You can even have Barrett team with one of his biggest rivals, John Cena, who was feuding with Show, to take down a common enemy. You have the unlikely partners story, wondering who might turn on the other angle, and you put Barrett in the main event scene.
And if face Barrett isn't the way they wanted to go, you can have him easily turn on Cena after defeating Show, with Barrett saying he was just using Cena to take out the man who injured him.
Everybody seems to win in that scenario. But you know, that would make too much sense, and we all know how the WWE looks down on that.

Undertaker vs Barrett would have made sense for Wrestlemania XXVII given the Nexus attacking him at Bragging Rights 2010, but Wade had already lost half of his group to CM Punk, ran off to SD to form the Corre, and had his stock as major figure drop quite a bit by the time Undertaker came back in February.

Ambrose/Joe should have resumed after Ambrose's return if they had been on the same brand.

Legion of Doom Vs Demolition. Yeah it kinda happened on the house show circuit in fits and bursts, but by the time there could have been a big blow-off at Wrestlemania 7 the Demos were so far down the pecking order that they were jobbed to Tenryu and Kitao and not even worthy of being squashed by LOD (that pleasure went to Power & Glory).
