4 times WWE used real-life relationships to build a feud in the past year

#2 AJ Styles and Wendy Jones

Oh, Wennnnndddyyyyy!

Samoa Joe vs AJ Styles had dream match written all over it. Here too, WWE didn't spare the chance of adding family ties to build their matches. Joe, in pursuit of the WWE Title, took on this sadistic and detestable character that every WWE fan began to dislike.

Joe and Styles' feud began when Joe was traded to SmackDown Live and attacked Styles. They had many memorable encounters and to pull the feud on for two PPVs, WWE included Styles' family into it. The Samoan Submission Machine constantly took shots at Styles' wife and daughter, he showed up on their doorstep when Styles was away from home and also went on to provoke The Phenomenal One in front of his daughter.

Either way, with or without Styles' family getting involved, the duo's matches were hellacious and enjoyed by every member of the WWE Universe out there.
