5 past feuds WWE has revisited again in 2020 so far

It has only been around five months since 2020 kicked off, and WWE has come up with a long string of intriguing angles so far. This becomes even more impressive when one realizes that the past three months' worth of storylines has been presented amidst the coronavirus crisis and the lockdown that followed it.

Over the past five months or so, WWE has given us some fresh storylines like the Mandy Rose-Otis-Dolph Ziggler saga, and The Undertaker's incredibly personal feud with AJ Styles. On the other hand, WWE revisited some feuds that we had already witnessed in the past. Let's take a look at 5 of these feuds.

#5 John Cena vs Bray Wyatt

The 16-time World Champion came back to WWE after Super ShowDown and was challenged to a match at WrestleMania by Bray Wyatt. At WrestleMania, John Cena and Wyatt faced off in one of the most unique presentations WWE has ever come up with. The Firefly Fun House match was widely lauded on social media, despite not being an actual match, but a cinematic one.

Back in 2014, Wyatt kicked off a rivalry with Cena for the first time on the road to WrestleMania 30. Back then, Wyatt still had Luke Harper and Erick Rowan on his side. The rivalry culminated in a marquee match at The Show of Shows, that Cena ended up winning. This wasn't the end though, as Wyatt kept hounding Cena for weeks on end until they faced off again at Extreme Rules. Wyatt defeated Cena in a Steel Cage match at the PPV. The rubber match between the two Superstars took place at WWE Payback, under the Last Man Standing stipulation. Cena won the match to put an end to the feud. This 6-year old feud was revisited in the Firefly Fun House match, and Wyatt finally got back at Cena for the defeat he had suffered years ago.

#4 Becky Lynch vs Asuka

At WWE TLC 2019, The Kabuki Warriors defeated the makeshift tag team of Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair in the main event of the show, in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. A past rivalry emerged out of this feud, with Asuka challenging Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's title. At Royal Rumble 2020, Becky defeated Asuka by submission to retain her title belt. This was a pretty significant win for Lynch, as things didn't turn out this way exactly a year ago, at the 2019 Royal Rumble PPV.

Last year, Asuka defeated Lynch to retain her SmackDown Women's title at the WWE Royal Rumble PPV. Lynch went on to win the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble match and ultimately stood victorious in the main event of WWE WrestleMania 35. She went on to successfully defend her title against formidable opponents like Lacey Evans and Sasha Banks, but the loss against Asuka was still in her mind all this time. Lynch finally put Asuka down and carried that momentum to WrestleMania, where she defeated Shayna Baszler to retain the belt.

#3 Seth Rollins vs Kevin Owens

Soon after Survivor Series 2019 was done and dusted with, Seth Rollins was revealed as the leader of AOP, and the trio made Kevin Owens their first victim on WWE RAW. A rivalry kicked off between Rollins and Owens, with the latter joining forces with the likes of Samoa Joe and The Viking Raiders to face the heelish trio of Rollins and AOP, which soon recruited Murphy into the group. The feud between Rollins and Owens ended with a victory for the latter, in a No DQ match at WrestleMania 36.

Fans might remember that Triple H helped Kevin Owens win the Universal title on an episode of WWE RAW during a Fatal 4-Way match, by turning on Seth Rollins. The former Shield member soon turned babyface and took on Owens at WWE Clash of Champions 2016. Rollins didn't succeed in defeating Owens though, and the same story followed at WWE Hell in a Cell. Chris Jericho, who was involved with Owens at the time, had a lot to do with Owens successfully defending his title against Rollins.

#2 Bray Wyatt vs Daniel Bryan

At the 2020 WWE Royal Rumble PPV, Bray Wyatt faced Daniel Bryan in a Universal title Strap match. Wyatt's alter ego The Fiend picked up the win over Bryan to retain his belt. On the road to Royal Rumble, Wyatt had made a post to hype up the eventual bout and recalled his WWE Royal Rumble 2014 match against Bryan, which he had won. Wyatt stated that the match was one of his all-time favorites, and he dubbed Bryan as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

Bryan had engaged in a feud with The Wyatt Family in early 2014. He faced the trio in a 3-on-1 Handicap match at TLC 2013, followed by which Bryan became a part of the family for a short period. He turned on them soon after and faced Bray at the Royal Rumble PPV. Although Bryan didn't win the match, WWE listened to the fans and built the main event of WrestleMania 30 around him, which led to Bryan defeating Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista in a single night to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

#1 Edge vs Randy Orton

In one of the most surprising returns in WWE history, WWE Hall of Famer Edge entered in at #21 to a loud pop at the 2020 Royal Rumble PPV. Edge had a strong showing in the free-for-all and was eliminated by Roman Reigns during the closing moments of the match. He immediately kicked off a feud with WWE veteran Randy Orton on the road to WrestleMania 36, after the latter brutally attacked him on the following RAW. The duo faced each other in a Last Man Standing match at The Show of Shows, with Edge exacting revenge on Orton.

Orton and Edge were once a dominant heel tag team on RAW, back in 2006-07. The duo had joined forces to rid WWE of the reunited DX. Soon after WrestleMania 23, Edge made his way to SmackDown and Rated RKO became history. Around three years later, the two Superstars engaged in a feud after WrestleMania 26. They went at it at Over The Limit 2010, with the match ending in a double count-out, thus effectively ending the feud.
