WWE: Ranking the 10 very best feuds of the 2010’s

2. Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose

Prior to WWE, both men carved out very different careers for themselves on the independent scene. One was an ROH standout while the other was a CZW hardcore enthusiast. As a result, they never encountered each other on the indies, but the WWE wanted to take advantage of their possible chemistry as soon as they signed both men.

They proved to have instant chemistry with each other with a series of amazing matches in FCW (WWE’s developmental brand at the time) and that chemistry managed to transition into tag team chemistry when they got called up to be a part of The Shield.

When they entered a blood feud in 2014, we saw two hungry dudes brawling for that brass ring, and within a couple years and a few World Championships later, we saw two proven main eventers who managed to elevate each other’s game every time they stepped in the ring together.

1. John Cena vs. CM Punk

2011 was a time where the wrestling world was practically at a stand still. Most fans had started to turn their eyes away from the product as fans were starting to bore of the usual big, muscly guys duking it out in WWE.

Enter CM Punk, a much smaller, tattooed Superstar who was the very antithesis to what John Cena represented as the perfect poster child. Punk (even as a heel heading into Money in the Bank) was an underdog who the fans rooted for and in voicing many of the fans’s same concerns as “The Voice of the Voiceless,” he became the unofficial spokesman of the WWE Universe.

The dynamic between these two in 2011 made for some of the most compelling television WWE had offered in years and their Money in the Bank match presented one of the best matches in WWE history.

They had some other classic matches since then (including arguably the best Raw main event ever that took place weeks before WrestleMania 29), but the chemistry these two bounced off each other as unlikely dance partners was magnetic.
