5 First Time Feuds That Should Happen In WWE In 2019

The Rock helping Roman was not enough to get him cheered

WWE fans are constantly looking for new rivalries, and while some first time ever feuds don't live up to the hype due to a lack of chemistry between the performers, or at times bad booking, most new feuds end up being pretty solid, especially when it comes to the in-ring aspect.

In recent years, WWE has at times gone away from the traditional babyface vs. heel dynamic, so some of the entries on this list will include two superstars who are largely considered to be babyfaces.

This list will also involve some superstars who are part-timers, simply because it's difficult to find two people on either brand who haven't had a match with one another in the past. Also, new feuds are a lot more interesting when they involve the bigger names, and unfortunately there aren't a ton of needle-movers on WWE's main roster at the moment.

So with this in mind, let's take a look at 5 first time ever feuds that should happen in 2019.


5 - Ronda Rousey vs. Asuka

Ronda Rousey and Asuka would be a great match-up

At one point this was WWE's plan for WrestleMania 35, but they ended up changing their mind in favour of a Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair program, which could end up main eventing next year's show in New York.

But, just because it's probably not going to happen at WrestleMania 35 doesn't mean that it shouldn't happen at all. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see Rousey have a feud with Asuka prior to next year's show, as WWE will likely want her to have a win over a few notable women prior to her showdown with Charlotte.

Also, Asuka would probably be Rousey's best opponent stylistically, as she's probably the best in-ring wrestler in WWE's women's division.

4 - AJ Styles vs. Braun Strowman

A Dream Match?

Prior to WWE turning him heel, Braun Strowman had the potential to be the biggest star in the entire company, and if the company were to move him over to SmackDown Live, he'd likely end up replacing AJ Styles as the face of the blue brand.

Even though he's been in the main event scene for quite a while now, Strowman hasn't yet held a World Championship, and as long as he's on the same brand as Roman Reigns, he probably won't get a run with the belt.

Also, Styles is probably the best in-ring wrestler in the entire company, so he could make Braun Strowman look better than almost anyone else on the roster en-route to the "Monster Among Men" winning his first WWE World Title.

3 - Finn Balor (Demon King) vs. The Undertaker

Demon
Demon vs. Dead Man

This match has been talked about ever since Finn Balor debuted the "Demon King" gimmick down in NXT, and the idea gained more steam after he debuted the character on WWE's main roster.

We obviously don't know when The Undertaker will retire, but it's probably pretty safe to assume that it's going to be sooner rather than later, so this feud should take place heading into next year's WrestleMania.

Balor would make The Undertaker, who clearly isn't what he used to be, look as good as he's ever looked. Also, if Balor ends up going over, he'd be one of only three men to have defeated the "Deadman" at WrestleMania, which would certainly get him back in the main event scene in WWE.

2 - Daniel Bryan vs. Kurt Angle

Dual Masters of their craft

Like with Finn Balor vs. The Undertaker, this is a match that should happen at WrestleMania 35, and if you ask me, it should be a submission match with Bret Hart as the special guest referee.

Obviously, an Angle vs. Bryan feud on its own would be fantastic in the ring, but adding Bret Hart to it as the guest referee would add a lot to the match. Of course, we all know by now that Bret can't take any bumps, but it'd be cool to see him involved in a feud with two guys who are his biggest dream opponents.

I would assume that both guys will be babyfaces going into the match, although I could see WWE trying to turn Kurt Angle heel if they do end up doing the feud next year.

1 - The Rock vs. Roman Reigns

The
The Battle Among Blood Brothers

Unless Shawn Michaels is willing to come back and wrestle The Rock, a match between "The People's Champion" and Roman Reigns is the way to go.

If The Rock is willing and able to come back next year, he probably won't be willing to come back for anything less than the WrestleMania main event, which likely means that he'll end up in the ring with Roman Reigns, who has main evented each of the last four WrestleManias.

On top of that, The Rock is one of the few guys who could probably get the WrestleMania crowd to care about a Roman Reigns match, as they're typically uninterested in anything that has to do with the current WWE Universal Champion.
