5 feuds WWE teased but didn't go ahead with

WWE has this habit of getting its fans super excited about a feud but never going ahead with it. We as fans can only wait and hope that WWE pulls the trigger on such feuds one day. Until then, we will have to let our imagination run wild about these matches and the build surrounding them.

The feuds listed in this piece would have easily pulled in crowds to tune in given the star status of the Superstars involved. WWE certainly must have had its reasons for not going ahead with these rivalries but this is a throwback to the matches that could have been.

#5 Brock Lesnar vs Bray Wyatt

This match was teased in the 2016 Royal Rumble match when the Wyatt Family teamed up to neutralize and eliminate Brock Lesnar. Wyatt was supposed to face Lesnar at Roadblock later, but due to reasons, Harper was added to the match. Lesnar walked out victorious but Wyatt was a mere spectator in this handicap match.

If the names of Lesnar and Wyatt aren't enough to excite WWE fans over the globe, imagine the promos involving Paul Heyman and Bray Wyatt. When Heyman has a mic, the crowd invested in what he has to say. Bray Wyatt is another individual who has the same crowd-silencing ability as Heyman. These two alone could build a match between The Beast and The Eater Of Worlds without a single showdown between the two Superstars involved and the crowd would have loved it.

If the idea of these men owning the stage doesn't excite you, then the involvement of the Wyatt family will surely do the trick. Wyatt was backed by his trusty Wyatt Family on his side when this feud was teased. An army consisting of Harper, Rowan and Strowman assisting Wyatt in playing mind games with Lesnar would make great story telling.

#4 Nia Jax vs Becky Lynch

Before Lynch attained the Becky Two Belts name, she was The Man and was easily one of the hottest Superstars on the WWE roster. Becky Lynch was slated to face Ronda Rousey in a Champion vs Champion match at Survivor Series last year. This was one of the most hyped matches for the card until Nia Jax accidentally punched Lynch right on her nose when Lynch led an invasion on Raw. Lynch suffered a broken nose and a concussion and was forced to back out from her match against Rousey, naming Charlotte Flair as her replacement to take down Rousey.

Jax received a lot of heat from fans as she is infamous for her botches. The Samoan wrestler took the heat like a real heel and called Becky out on social media. The two later crossed paths backstage at TLC where Becky got the better of Jax by punching her in the face.

A match between these two women could have made its way to any PPV card given how big a name Becky Lynch was at the time and how much heat Jax had garnered, ruining a match the WWE Universe was waiting for.

#3 Shane McMahon vs Brock Lesnar

This faceoff took place just minutes after Brock Lesnar annihilated Randy Orton. In what was supposed to be a match for the ages, Lesnar busted Orton's head open and wouldn't stop mauling him. After Orton had lost a considerable amount of blood, and Lesnar refused to let go, Shane McMahon ran down the ramp to save his SmackDown Superstar.

The Commissioner of SmackDown Live came face to face with The Beast Incarnate and tried to reason with him. But Lesnar wouldn't budge and attacked McMahon. He laid McMahon down with an F5 and left the ring after Paul Heyman pleaded him to.

Lesnar was let go with a $500 fine and neither he nor McMahon mentioned of this incident ever again. This match would have been one for the ages with Lesnar's unforgiving attacking arsenal and Shane McMahon's never say die attitude. Their brawls could spill to backstage areas with McMahon taking hellacious bumps as he has before. Audiences around the globe wouldn't be bitter if this feud is revisited.

#2 Braun Strowman vs Triple H

The Cerebral Assassin got into The Monster's head

In the traditional Raw vs SmackDown ten-man elimination tag team match, Triple H, Kurt Angle and Braun Strowman were the three men left from Team Raw and Shane McMahon was the sole representative of Team SmackDown. All looked well for the Red Brand as Angle had McMahon locked in the Ankle Lock, but Triple H being The Game turned on his teammate and hit Angle with a Pedigree right in the center of the ring.

Triple H then placed McMahon on Angle and instructed the referee to count to three. A confused Strowman stood by dumbfounded but The Cerebral Assassin didn't give him much time to react and quickly hit his brother-in-law with the Pedigree and pinned him to secure the victory for Team Raw.

After the match, Strowman held Triple H by the throat and warned him to never pull anything like that again. Triple H looked to attack Strowman when his back was turned but was caught and The Monster Among Men hit him with two running Powerslams.

This feud was also sidelined the night after the PPV and never mentioned of again. This match could have pushed Strowman higher up the ranks. It would have been interesting to see how The Game would have retaliated to Strowman's herculean strength.

#1 CM Punk vs The Authority

CM Punk and his feud with WWE officials is infamous. Punk had a huge score to settle with The Authority. It was a mixture of real-life and kayfabe controversies that forced Punk to exit WWE. Punk was on his way to a match against Triple H at WrestleMania when he decided to retire from WWE.

The Cult of Personality was involved in a feud with The Wyatt Family along with Daniel Bryan. He accused The Authority when The Shield attacked him while he was trying to save Daniel Bryan from The Wyatt Family. This forced the Director of Operations, Kane, to book a three-on-one handicap match between The Shield and Punk.

Punk came out victorious and his further altercations with Corporate Kane made him the first entrant in the Royal Rumble match in 2014. Punk was part of the final four competitors during that match and Kane, after being eliminated earlier, came back and pulled Punk out of the ring, eliminating him in the process.

This marked the final appearance of Punk in a WWE ring. It looked like he was on his way in a feud against The Authority that would have been culminated in a match against Triple H at WrestleMania. Any match CM Punk is associated with automatically becomes high profile and a match of this caliber with such great storytelling would have fans across the globe invested in it.
