Several MMA rivalries have shaped up like WWE storylines

#1 Ronda Rousey v/s Miesha Tate - Trish Stratus v/s Lita

Four powerhouses in one frame

Saving the best for last, the intense rivalry between the two female powerhouses created all the hysteria in the women’s division. The feud between Tate and Ronda goes way back in history when they both started out humbly in Strikeforce.

Tempers frayed as both tried to edge each other out of competition, which included headbutting each other and embroiling in verbal spats, both in person and on social media! Ronda definitely had the upper hand when it came to fighting in the octagon, which helped establish her dominance over Tate.

On similar lines was the storyline involving Trish Stratus and Lita, two of the most talented performers in the Divas’ roster. Their feuds weren’t your average cat-fights, they were proper matches replete with the Attitude Era/Ruthless Aggression-prototype build-up.

Their rivalry intensified in the year 2004 when Stratus dropped the title to Lita in the main event of December 4th’s Raw, the first time when the main event featured a Women’s Championship match!

Did we miss out on any rivalry which you think deserves to be on the list?
