4 WWE rivals who restarted their feuds after a decade

WWE has a rich history, as the company began its journey in 1952. The company has been dominating the wrestling business for decades and Vince McMahon's billion-dollar company has an enormous global fan base with millions of viewers.

In order to reach the top of the wrestling world, WWE has provided wrestling fans with indispensable feuds and storylines. A feud plays an essential role in the world of professional wrestling, as it is the main bridge that connects wrestling fans to the in-ring product. With a captivating storyline, fans often get heavily invested in a feud.

There are several wrestlers who have been part of the company for decades. For instance, The Undertaker is still active and he has been wrestling for thirty years. Randy Orton is still a regular performer after making his debut in 2002. Triple H, who made his WWE debut in 1995, still wrestles occasionally in big pay-per-views. As a result, there have been instances when two Superstars restart a rivalry after years, or even a decade. After getting the chance to witness an extraordinary rivalry, the WWE Universe is then granted another opportunity to see it again, after an extended period of time.

In this slideshow, we will examine four WWE feuds that restarted after a decade.

#4 Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the rivalry between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker was one of the greatest in WWE history. Michaels and The Undertaker tussled for the first time at the first-ever Hell in a Cell match in 1997. With an assist from Kane, Michaels defeated 'The Deadman' and then picked up another victory over The Undertaker at 1998 Royal Rumble.

After eleven years, 'Mr.WrestleMania' restarted the rivalry with a goal to end The Undertaker's famous WrestleMania streak. The two legends delivered an outstanding match at WrestleMania 25, but The Undertaker managed to keep his legendary streak alive. In fact, it was The Undertaker's first victory over Michaels.

The Undertaker and HBK met again in a rematch at WrestleMania 26, where both the streak and Shawn Michaels' career were on the line. They delivered another classic match, but the result didn't alter. While The Undertaker continued his unbeaten streak, Michaels retired from the squared circle.

#3 Triple H vs Batista

When Triple H formed Evolution in 2003, his main goal was to keep the World Heavyweight Title around his waist. Evolution was a successful stable with four big names, but nothing lasts forever. Evolution members, Triple H and Batista, had a memorable rivalry in 2005.

The feud started after Batista won the 2005 Royal Rumble match. 'The Game' was the World Heavyweight Champion at the time and since Batista won the Royal Rumble match, he earned a title shot to headline WrestleMania. Triple H tried convincing Batista to challenge then WWE Champion JBL, but 'The Animal' set his eyes on the World Heavyweight Title instead.

Batista won the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 21, beating Triple H. Following the colossal battle, Batista also pinned Triple H at Backlash and Vengeance.

Fast forward to 2019, Batista returned to have one last match against the man who made him a star. Batista and Triple H locked horns in a No Holds Barred Match at WrestleMania 35. It was the longest match of the night and The Game finally defeated Batista for the first time in his career. It would be Batista's last match ever.

#2 Brock Lesnar vs The Undertaker

The rivalry between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker was certainly one of the biggest feuds in WWE history. The two behemoths faced each other for the first time in 2002, the same year Lesnar made his WWE debut. Lesnar and The Undertaker locked horns at Unforgiven and No Mercy.

Lesnar had an explosive debut as the next big thing. Following his debut, 'The Beast' decimated everything in his path, but he made a notable impression after facing 'The Deadman.'

At the time, Lesnar was the WWE Champion and he defended the belt against The Undertaker at Unforgiven. The match ended in a double disqualification. Lesnar retained the WWE Championship, but the feud was far from over. The two men had a rematch at No Mercy inside a steel cage where Lesnar bested 'The Phenom.'

Twelve years later, Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker met at WrestleMania 30, where 'The Beast' etched his name in the history books and ended The Undertaker's famous WrestleMania streak. Their battles continued in 2015, as they had two matches at SummerSlam and Hell in a Cell. 'The Deadman' earned a controversial victory over Lesnar at SummerSlam, but 'The Beast' avenged the loss at Hell in a Cell.

#1 Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg

If The Undertaker was Brock Lesnar's greatest opponent, Goldberg was certainly not too far behind. The two powerhouses, Goldberg and Brock Lesnar, wrestled a couple of times in WWE. Prior to his WWE debut, Goldberg earned his reputation in WCW where he was a dominant star. Lesnar and Goldberg had a few tense confrontations before they shared the ring in an official capacity.

It began at the 2004 Royal Rumble when Lesnar delivered an F-5 to Goldberg, costing him the Royal Rumble match. Goldberg eventually took revenge by attacking Lesnar at No Way Out and Lesnar dropped the WWE Title to Eddie Guerrero. It set up a mega clash at WrestleMania 20, where Goldberg pinned Brock Lesnar.

While both men left the company after the match, they faced each other again twelve years later. After making his long awaited return to the squared circle in 2016, Goldberg fought Lesnar again at Survivor Series, slaying the Beast for the second time in his career.

Subsequently, Goldberg won the Universal Championship from Kevin Owens and Lesnar challenged Goldberg at WrestleMania 33. 'The Beast Incarnate' finally managed to pin Goldberg and won the Universal Title on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
