In 2018, the WWE Universe has been amazed with some shocking and historic feuds. From Shinsuke Nakamura betraying us all (as well as AJ Styles) at WrestleMania, to the reunion of the Sheild a few weeks ago, to Charlotte Flair going to war with former best friend Becky Lynch.
But with 2018 drawing to a close, we need to look at 2019, and what we can expect from the superstars of RAW, SmackDown Live, 205 Live and NXT. Plus with the upcoming launch of NXT UK, presumably next year, there's gonna be more opportunities for feuds than ever before.
A good feud really brings something special to the table. An iconic feud can change the world of pro-wrestling, case in point: Austin Vs McMahon. And now, things are no different.
Here are 6 feuds that need to happen in 2019.
#6 Daniel Bryan Vs AJ Styles
Two of the most gifted superstars on SmackDown Live, Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles have shown that to be a champion doesn't require being 6 foot 6 and 300lbs.
Instead, the smaller, faster superstars have earned countless fans with their wrestling styles (pardon the pun) and natural charisma.
Since returning from his retirement earlier this year, Bryan has feuded with the A-Lister The Miz, staying away from the WWE Championship, which Styles has held since November.
Bryan and Miz are due to compete at WWE Super Show-Down in Melbourne, Australia, with the winner earning a number one contender spot for the WWE Championship.
If successful, Bryan will have taken his first step to reclaiming the gold, though Styles won't make it easy for the leader of the YES! Movement.
#5 Jeff Hardy Vs Samoa Joe
Both former TNA World Champions, the careers of Jeff Hardy and Samoa Joe have been linked for years.
Yet despite this, the two have rarely faced off in a WWE ring.
It's not that hard to see why, Joe has been laser-focused on taking the WWE Championship from AJ Styles, whilst Hardy has been battling for the United States Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura, and most recently, Randy Orton.
If Joe is successful in winning the title, wrestling Jeff could be a great first feud for the new champion, and who knows? Maybe we could see another Hardy world championship reign, before his career is over.
#4 Ember Moon Vs Charlotte Flair
Since debuting on Monday Night RAW, Ember Moon has impressed the WWE Universe with her athleticism, raw power, and offensive move set.
Yet despite this, she has yet to move anywhere close to a title match, which has been held by Alexa Bliss for the majority of 2018.
A move to the blue brand as part of the 2019 Superstar Shake-Up, could be a great fresh start for the former NXT Women's Champion, and a feud with Flair could put her on the right path towards championship gold.
#3 Drew McIntyre Vs Dolph Ziggler
It's great to see these two doing so well, especially when you consider how their careers were, not so long ago. In 2014, McIntyre was released from the company and topped many lists of superstars who should've done better.
For several years, Ziggler has seemingly existed in limbo, being used when needed but instantly forgotten about when not.
Putting the two together has worked great for both men, who have been compared to fellow Tag Team Champions Shawn Michaels and Diesel in the early 90s.
A split and feud between the two would make for an excellent story, perhaps with Dolph being betrayed by the younger more aggressive McIntyre, who was merely using the ShowOff to move up the card.
#2 The Undertaker Vs. Finn Bálor
It's no secret, The Undertaker is old. With over a quarter of a century in WWE under his belt, the Deadman has done everything there is to do in the McMahon-run company.
For the past several years, fans have wondered who will be the one to end the Phenom's illustrious career, and in 2019, Finn Bálor may just be the one to do so.
If so, he will have cemented his legacy forever. The Deadman's methodical style would work well with the risk-taking offence of the first ever WWE Universal Champion.
When you factor in the amazing visuals between The Deadman and the Demon King, this could very well be a dream feud.
#1 Roman Reigns Vs. Dean Ambrose Vs. Seth Rollins
Whilst the hounds of justice have only recently reunited, fans are already anticipating a split in the group, with the main question being who will turn on whom.
Ambrose is the odds-on favourite to betray the group, with his heel turn being rumoured for months during his injury.
A battle between the 3 for the Universal championship could see fans split between who they support, and could lead to some great triple-threat matches, easily worth the main event spot on WWE RAW and Pay Per Views.
