2019 has started brightly for WWE; Raw and Smackdown have provided the WWE Universe with a plethora of fascinating topics to talk about and the year ahead looks pretty darn promising.
The road to WrestleMania is on and the WWE Universe is relishing the opportunity to be part of this roller coaster ride. Fascinating encounters are set to take place, rivalries are going to culminate, scores are going to be settled and what not. WrestleMania is the embodiment of what the company stands for and the fans worldwide wait for the Grandest Stage Of Them All eagerly.
WrestleMania is where the existing feuds come to rest as the most important PPV of the year is the home to all the classic battles. WWE Creative look for new angles post WrestleMania and here we are to make their jobs a bit easy with these 5 rivalries that will prove out to be best for business.
#5 Kofi Kingston vs Kevin Owens
Kofi Kingston is probably the rising star of 2019. The New Day member was the surprise replacement for Mustafa Ali in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE title and the WWE Universe was startled upon witnessing Kofi's miraculous performance.
Kofi defeated the reigning champion, Daniel Bryan before pinning Jeff Hardy who then was followed by Samoa Joe in the list of men Kofi defeated in the gauntlet match on Smackdown live. Kofi's heroic run was ended by AJ Styles but the New Day member drew a lot of inspiration from his gauntlet match as he came too close to winning his first World Title in the company at the Elimination Chamber, where he was pinned by the reigning champion, Daniel Bryan for the championship.
Kofi might be on for a prolonged face run and deserves a feud with a feisty heel. When talking about heels, there is one man who is set to return soon and that man is none other than Kevin Owens.
Owens and Kofi are two great performers who possess tremendous talent. This rivalry might sound a bit old school where the hero battles a villain but that's the beauty of WWE where this old school story is cherished and adored by the millions of fans watching worldwide.
Kofi Kingston vs Kevin Owens will perfectly entertain the WWE Universe and the WWE Creative needs to make it happen once Owens makes his in-ring return from injury.
#4 Finn Balor vs Shinsuke Nakamura
Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura are two extremely talented superstars with a similar history. Finn and Shinsuke are both products of the NXT development unit, a division handled by the COO of the company, Triple H.
What does raise the curiosity levels here is the contrasting style portrayed by these two men in the ring. Shinsuke is one of the best strikers of the company, the king of strong style as we might reckon. On the other hand, we've got Finn Balor who is this high flying superstar capable of doing things in the ring which many of us just believe to be true only on a video game.
Impressive finishers, different personalities and most importantly, contrasting styles do make us wonder what this feud will be like.
This matchup did happen on the NXT brand but considering the potential of these two superstars, a rivalry on the main roster would be really appreciated.
#3 Randy Orton vs Braun Strowman
The viper is a unique talent who holds the right tool to defeat almost anybody and that tool is the vicious RKO. Randy Orton is a 13-time world champion and will rightly be inducted to the prestigious hall of fame one day.
Randy Orton has faced them all and its no secret that the viper has put down many big men on the course of being one of the greatest of all time. Talking about big men, there is one such man who has been brutalizing the entire locker room ever for the last 2 years or so and that man is Braun Strowman. The monster among men has had the opportunity to work with many big stars and will seemingly gel well the legend killer, Randy Orton.
Strowman's unmatched strength up against Randy's ruthless style, the bout is pretty enticing. While Orton has had the opportunity to work with some of the giants of the game like the Big Show, Mark Henry and more, what Braun Strowman brings to the plate is an altogether different proposition.
#2 Becky Lynch vs Nia Jax
Becky Lynch is possibly the biggest female superstar of the company right now. The Man is onto something special and the fans are content with the Irish Lass Kicker's rise to the top.
2018 was truly special for Becky as she truly outperformed almost everyone on the roster. If 2018 was great then 2019 has been equally promising as The Man won the women's royal rumble and earned a chance to compete for the Women's championship on the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania 35.
When we talk about 2018, one moment which grabbed quite a few headlines was when Becky came to the Raw locker room and attacked the Raw women's champion, Ronda Rousey. She led the attack on Raw and the fans cheered for her heroic act. On the course of that very act, she was injured by Nia Jax which resulted in Becky being reprimanded of facing Ronda at Survivor Series as a result of which Charlotte Flair took her place.
This does create quite a stir amongst WWE fans as what would a feud between Becky Lynch and Nia Jax look like. Becky is on a roll and putting her in a challenging position against Nia does make a lot of sense.
Some sort of retribution angle might be introduced here but all in one, this feud will be a delight to watch.
#1 AJ Styles vs Seth Rollins
And on number one we've got what might be termed as a dream booking, a matchup which is worthy of headlining any PPV, a feud which promises to be a 5-star one.
AJ Styles up against Seth Rollins is something we as fans will love to see and keen wrestling enthusiasts will surely raise their hands in delight if asked for their opinion on this dream feud.
Imagine AJ going for the phenomenal forearm only for the Kingslayer to counter it and hit a devastating curbstomp. 2 high-flying athletes who in every right can claim to be one of the very best the company and in few opinions, the very best of all-time.
Ever since AJ Styles joined the company, he's been rising to the top and has feuded with almost everybody but one and that one is the man who defeated 29 other superstars as he won the 2019 Royal Rumble. In those 29 men, there was a certain phenomenal one as well.
The architect battling the phenomenal is a sure shot Wrestlemania main event material and the WWE Creative should make it happen.
