5 memorable WWE rivalries of 2021

#2. WWE Rivalry: Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar

The ongoing rivalry between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar has been one of the best this year in WWE.

The Beast Incarnate made his comeback at SummerSlam 2021 confronting The Tribal Chief after his victory over John Cena. The two continued to have heated verbal confrontations over the next few weeks.

At Crown Jewel 2021, Lesnar faced Reigns for the Universal Championship but lost the match due to interference from The Usos. On the following episode of SmackDown, an angry Lesnar was suspended after attacking several WWE officials, including Adam Pearce.

His suspension was subsequently revoked, and Brock returned to SmackDown on December 3. He decimated Sami Zayn, who was the #1 contender for the Universal Championship, having won The Black Friday Battle Royal. This allowed The Tribal Chief to pick up an easy win over a weakened Zayn to retain his title.

Lesnar and Reigns will now clash at the upcoming WWE Day 1 pay-per-view for the Universal Title, which makes this rivalry even more engaging.

#1. WWE Rivalry: Edge vs. Seth Rollins

The rivalry between Edge and Seth Rollins was one of the high points for WWE this year.

The feud began at Money in the Bank 2021 when Rollins interfered in Edge's match against Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship, costing him the title.

Over the next few weeks, the rivalry gathered steam as Edge challenged Rollins to a match at SummerSlam 2021, which the former won. Rollins had his revenge on the September 10 episode of SmackDown, beating the Hall of Famer with a lethal Curb Stomp.

Their rivalry finally culminated in a devastating Hell in a Cell Match at Crown Jewel 2021. Edge emerged victorious in this third battle as he used Seth's maneuver, The Curb Stomp, on The Visionary, slamming his head onto a steel chair.

The battle trilogy between these wrestlers was undoubtedly a treat for the fans.
