5 memorable WWE rivalries of 2021

#4. WWE Rivalry: Bianca Belair vs. Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch

In 2021, the rivalry between Bianca Belair, Sasha Banks, and Becky Lynch was one of WWE's big talking points.

The EST of WWE won the Royal Rumble Match earlier this year and went on to headline WrestleMania 37 by challenging The Boss for the SmackDown Women's Championship. Bianca beat Banks to win her first title in WWE.

The rivalry began to gather steam as Sasha laid down the challenge to regain her title from Bianca at SummerSlam 2021. What happened next took everyone by surprise. Instead of Sasha Banks, who could not compete, a returning Becky Lynch showed up at SummerSlam to challenge the champion.

Belair lost the match in no time as The Man ascended to championship glory. With this turn of events, Lynch added herself to the ongoing rivalry between Banks and Belair.

At Extreme Rules 2021, Becky and Bianca went head-to-head for the championship, when the latter defeated Lynch by disqualification due to interference by a returning Sasha Banks but could not regain the title.

The intense animosity between the three ladies culminated at Crown Jewel 2021 in a Triple Threat Match for the title. Becky overcame Sasha and Bianca to retain her title.

#3. WWE Rivalry: Goldberg vs. Bobby Lashley

The rivalry between Goldberg and Bobby Lashley was a personal one.

Goldberg challenged then WWE Champion Bobby Lashley to a title match at SummerSlam 2021, injuring his knee during the bout. The All-Mighty continued to dish out punishment on a battered Goldberg as Gage, the latter's son, tried to help. Lashley locked Gage in The Hurt Lock, which irked Goldberg, making this rivalry personal.

At Crown Jewel 2021, the WWE Hall of Famer avenged his son's beat down in a No Holds Barred Match against Lashley, where he decimated the former WWE Champion. Goldberg finally settled the score as the feud came to a befitting end.
