10 Biggest Twitter feuds of 2019

In today's social media era, you won't find many professional wrestlers who don't have a Twitter or Instagram account. These social media handles are an amazing platform for wrestlers to interact with fans and fellow Superstars. Many have successfully used their social media accounts to promote their brand and earn additional revenue.

On the other hand, wrestling social media accounts are bound to lead to chaotic situations. Over the years, we have seen several Superstars get into feuds with other wrestlers on social media. This is usually done to promote a feud or to put a Superstar over. On rare occasions, these feuds get personal and serious, taking social media by storm in the process. Let's take a look at 10 times WWE Superstars feuded on Twitter against each other, or against wrestlers from other promotions in 2019.

#10 Charlotte Flair vs Kalisto

A harmless tweet by Kalisto on Rey Mysterio's recent victory on RAW soon turned ugly, as Andrade chimed in and took a shot at him. Kalisto fired back at Andrade and stated that he is still in WWE only because he is Charlotte Flair's real-life significant other.

Flair didn't take this lightly and took a brutal shot at Kalisto, indicating that he is not so easy on the eyes and that's why he is required to wear a mask. She also made it clear that Andrade is still in WWE because of his good looks, and not because he's with her. Flair has roasted several Superstars in the past on Twitter, but this one certainly takes the cake.

#9 Becky Lynch vs Edge & Beth Phoenix

This Twitter feud is notable because this was when Becky Lynch made her relationship with Seth Rollins official. Lynch got into a Twitter war with the Copeland Family, as 'The Man' wasn't thrilled with Phoenix holding one of her Women's Titles.

The heated exchange saw Lynch take a jab at Edge's career-ending injury, which didn't sit well with the couple. Edge went on to refer to Lynch as "Edge lite."

#8 Beth Hardy vs Reby Hardy

Soon after Jeff Hardy's recent DWI arrest, Matt Hardy tweeted that he loves his brother, but added that he also needs to prioritize his family. Beth Hardy, Jeff's wife, took shots at Matt and Reby Hardy soon after, which prompted Reby to post a long-winded rant on her Twitter.

Reby made it clear that Matt doesn't need Beth's approval to post statements on Twitter. She also didn't shy away from mentioning that Jeff was putting his own as well as someone else's life in danger by driving while intoxicated.

#7 Alundra Blayze vs Lacey Evans

After Alundra Blayze's appearance at the RAW Reunion show, she got into a Twitter feud with Lacey Evans. Evans responded to a fan who was jonesing for the two to engage in a staredown and took a jibe at Blayze in the process. Blayze targeted Evans' family and her military background, which resulted in the latter insulting the Hall of Famer in another tweet and indicating that it's a shoot, and not a storyline feud. Nothing came of this Twitter feud, but a one-on-one encounter between these two both in their primes would have been a sight to behold!

#6 Matt Riddle vs Goldberg

It all started when Goldberg made his WWE return for Super ShowDown. Riddle posted a series of tweets that targeted Goldberg, and even went as far as calling him the worst wrestler in the business.

The feud was mostly one-sided, as Goldberg didn't bother with responding to Riddle, but made sure to block the NXT Superstar on Twitter a long time ago. The two even met in a backstage area during WWE SummerSlam, in what proved to be a very awkward confrontation.

#5 Sasha Banks vs Seth Rollins

A short while ago, Seth Rollins posted a tweet hyping up his Universal title match against Rey Mysterio on RAW. Soon after, Sasha Banks posted a tweet hyping up her match against Alexa Bliss on the same show, mimicking Seth's tweet to the T!

Rollins hit back at Banks, and deleted his account later. He came back days later, and the feud didn't escalate further. It's not clear whether all of this was simply a ploy to stir things up to promote Hell In A Cell (where Sasha was set to take on Rollins' partner Becky Lynch), or whether Rollins genuinely was upset over Sasha's remarks on Twitter.

#4 The O.C. vs The Undisputed Era

Soon after The O.C. reunited, a fan posted a tweet, praising NXT's The Undisputed Era. AJ Styles replied to the tweet with a laughing emoji. Adam Cole responded to AJ and told him to be careful what he wishes for. Roderick Strong chimed in too, quoting Styles' theme song, "They don't want none."

An 8-man match between these two factions is something that could sell out a major PPV in the near future. All it would need is for The O.C. to bring in a fourth member to the mix.

#3 Matt Riddle vs Chris Jericho

Goldberg wasn't the only former WCW star that Matt Riddle targeted. He went on to insult Lance Storm, Chris Jericho, and Booker T. Jericho hit back at Riddle, who threatened to beat the AEW Champion.

Jericho posted a short clip in response, mocking Riddle in the process. This tweet marked the end of this short-lived feud. The exchange was the highlight of the day, as fans were divided on whom to cheer for. Many demonized Jericho and stated that Riddle would beat him in a real fight, while the other half trolled Riddle for targeting one of the all-time greats.

#2 Seth Rollins vs Will Ospreay

Rollins' tweet during the Stomping Grounds PPV, stating that WWE is the best pro-wrestling on the planet didn't sit well with many fans. He also claimed to be the best wrestler alive, to which NJPW's Will Ospreay took exception. Things soon turned ugly, as Rollins compared bank accounts with Ospreay, which was a horrible mistake on his part.

Fans bashed Rollins for his tweet, and he actually apologized for the same soon after. Rollins also said that he will try his best to not let something like his happen again in the future. He did add though, that he still believes WWE is the best pro wrestling on the planet.

#1 Becky Lynch vs Ronda Rousey

And here's the Twitter feud that was the highlight of the Road to WrestleMania 35! Becky Lynch didn't hold back one bit during her Twitter war with Ronda Rousey, and even went on to insult her husband, Travis Browne. Lynch didn't spare Ronda's mom either, and stated that she taught Rousey to win, but never to lose, and that's what Lynch would teach her at 'Mania.

The shot at her husband irked Rousey to no end, and she referred to Becky by her real name in a tweet, while threatening her of consequences. Ronda also went on a tirade about how WWE is 'fake.' Of course, Lynch had the last laugh, when she pinned Rousey in the main event of WrestleMania 35.
