Throughout WWE history, there have been thousands, if not tens of thousands of Superstars.

Some, went on to accomplish huge things as members of the company, with names like Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and John Cena all bleeding into mainstream pop-culture.

Some, have not been as successful, with stars like Phantasmo, Arachnaman and Mantaur (thankfully) falling into obscurity.

But regardless, there have been plenty of feuds throughout the WWE's decades of history, with feuds like Austin-Rock, Cena-Orton and Triple H-Shawn Michaels playing out across multiple years.

But some feuds, were just straight up bizarre, and some Superstars, somehow, ended up feuding with themselves, or at least, alternate versions of themselves in some way, shape or form.

These feuds never really lasted long, but led to some unique, if not weird, moments.

Here are 5 WWE Superstars, who at one point, feuded with themselves.


5. Sting Vs. Sting

In WCW, there were few Superstars more linked to the company than the Stinger.

So when Sting joined the nWo in 1996, the fans were rightly shocked at the stunning betrayal.

With the Franchise as part of their group, it seemed the nWo would be unstoppable, with some of wrestling's all-time greats in the group.

However, the truth was that this Stinger was an impostor, hired by the nWo to besmirch the real Sting, dressing up as him, complete with the Franchise's iconic black and white warpaint.

Clearly not flattered by the impersonation, it wasn't long before the real Sting made his presence known, leading to a not so epic showdown between the two.

The real Sting easily dominated over the impostor, who was sent packing for his troubles.

Clearly unhappy with the charade, Sting made it his mission to destroy the group, and at Starrcade 1997, won the WCW World Title from Hulk Hogan.

4. Sin Cara (Azul) Vs. Sin Cara (Negro)

When Sin Cara returned after some time away in 2011, he returned with a newfound mean streak.

Gone was the fun-loving babyface, as this Sin Cara was much more aggressive, and wasn't afraid to break the rules.

Of course, this was because he was an impostor, and when confronted by the real Sin Cara, things got complicated.

To make matters easier, the fake Sin Cara changed to a black and red attire, becoming Sin Cara (Negro), Spanish for black.

After weeks of build, the two fought in a mask Vs. mask match on SmackDown, which saw the real Sin Cara win, with the impostor being unmasked, later becoming Hunico.

Interestingly though, after the original Sin Cara was released by the company, Hunico once again took up the mantle and wrestles as Sin Cara to this day.

3. Goldberg Vs. Gillberg

The Monday Night Wars were exactly that, a war, with shots being fired by both WWF and WCW.

In 1998 though, the WWF hoped to embarrass the opposition, as well as one of WCW's most popular stars, Goldberg.

Introducing Duane Gill as Gillberg, the pint-sized Superstar failed to capture the sheer strength of gravitas of Goldberg, being a long-term jobber, though did hold the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship.

When Goldberg joined the WWE in 2003, he was even confronted by his mini-me, who somehow thought he could defeat Goldberg, and end his WWE career before it ever got started.

As you can imagine, this didn't go to plan. Goldberg crushed Gillberg in mere seconds in their RAW encounter, and would go on to win the World Heavyweight and Universal Championships, before being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018.

2. Kane Vs. Kane

In 2006, Kane, who had spent his career deranged, seemed more off the rails than usual.

Hearing voices telling him of May 19th (the release date of his movie See No Evil), the big red machine was truly shocked when he saw himself appear on the ramp, dressed in his debut attire from 1997.

A perfect mimic of the real Kane, this impostor utilized the Devil's Favourite Demon's moves, and even defeated the real Kane at Vengeance 2006.

It was the real one though, who would have the last laugh, attacking his opponent the next night on RAW.

Later that night, Kane would demask his impostor, throwing him out a door, and out of the WWE.

Fun fact: Fake Kane would later return to WWE, as Luke Gallows, though (for the best) hasn't mentioned his charade to the Big Red Machine.

1.The Undertaker Vs. The Undertaker

As one of the most iconic stars in wrestling, it's hard to imagine anyone could impersonate The Undertaker.

But in 1994, the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase brought out his own version of the Deadman, claiming he was the real deal, and was under DiBiase's control, thanks to money.

Paul Bearer, who had been the Phenom's manager for years, refuted that, and promised that he would bring back the real Undertaker to the WWF.

Returning at Summerslam 1994, the two Undertaker's faced off, and whilst the impostor looked the bit on his own, it was clear he was no Phenom.

The real deadman towered over the fake, and after a hard-hitting match (which truthfully, isn't that great), the real deal got the win with a Tombstone Piledriver, proving that there's only room for one Phenom in the WWE.
