Some of the best WWE feuds usually involve Superstars who want to work together. Being on the road for 300 days a year and fighting regularly against the same person can become tiresome for some Superstars. Many manage to put on a much better show when they work with their best friends.
Over the years, rivalries between friends have been some of the best in WWE programming. Some examples included Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels and even Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn. WWE is aware that this is a formula that works, which could be why several friends are presently engaged feud television WWE will feature many of them at SummerSlam this weekend.

#5. Lince Dorado and Kalisto
The Lucha House Party have become good friends over the past few years. Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado and Kalisto have worked together on both 205 Live and WWE's main roster.
Friday night on SmackDown, The Lucha House Party earned a shot at the Tag Team Championships when they took on Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura. Kalisto returned to WWE last week on SmackDown. This week, he appeared at ringside as Matalik and Dorado looked to secure the gold.
Cesaro ultimately pinned Dorado to end the match. Then, Kalisto climbed into the ring, visibly annoyed that his team had lost the match. There are rumors that the former United States Champion could receive a push as a singles star for WWE moving forward. After all, he signed a multi-year contract back in January. This could be the beginning of a storyline where he breaks away from his former friends.
Dorado and Kalisto have been close friends for several years as shown from the two star's Instagram pages. If their current issues lead to a feud, it could easily be one of the highlights of SmackDown.
#4. Rhea Ripley and Raquel Gonzalez
Rhea Ripley and Raquel Gonzalez have both been part of the NXT women's division over the past few months. They could easily be considered two of the most imposing women in WWE at present.
Saturday at NXT Takeover: XXX, Raquel Gonzalez got involved in Dakota Kai's match once again as she took on Io Shirai for the NXT Women's Championship. However, Rhea Ripley was on hand to even the odds.
Even though the two women didn't get physical, they had a staredown in the middle of the ring that made it clear that a feud is brewing. Of course, "The Nightmare" and Raquel know each other very well. They have been best friends for several years and Rhea has requested to work with her training partner several times.
Finally, it appears that WWE could give the two women the chance to show what they can do on NXT moving forward. Given the feuds that best friends in WWE have had in the past, the women have a lot to live up to.
#3. Alexa Bliss and Braun Strowman
Alexa Bliss and Braun Strowman were once tag team partners as part of WWE's Mixed Match Challenge. They called themselves Team Little Big. The duo then went on to release some of the cutest backstage videos where they would sing and joke with each other.
Heading into SummerSlam, Bray Wyatt has used Alexa Bliss to get back at Braun Strowman. However, "The Monster Among Men" has made it clear that he doesn't "give a damn" about Bliss. The Universal Champion even went on to claim that Bliss used him and led him around by his beard throughout their friendship, which was documented on WWE programming.
Of course, this is part of the storyline leading into their showdown at "The Biggest Party of the Summer." In fact, the two stars remain close friends in real life. Bliss helped with the storyline backstage given her love of horror films.
The former WWE RAW Women's Champion is completely invested in the storyline according to a report from Tom Colohue, which makes sense because she's working with her best friend.
#2. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville
Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville first met when as contestants on WWE's Tough Enough back in 2015. Rose went on to become the female runner-up of the competition while Deville was eliminated much earlier on.
The two women both signed with WWE. Their friendship continued throughout their time as Absolution alongside Paige and when they later became a tag team known as Fire and Desire.
The two women are currently a part of one of the most personal feuds on WWE programming which will culminate at SummerSlam in a Loser Leaves WWE Match. Although Rose and Deville got fans to invest in their breakup, they are still best friends outside of the company and manage to find time for one another.
This became even more apparent when it was revealed that the night that Sonya Deville was the victim of attempted kidnapping last week. At the time, Mandy Rose was at her house and she helped her to escape.
#1. Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt
Braun Strowman made his WWE main roster debut as a member of The Wyatt Family alongside Bray Wyatt. Interestingly, the two are now the only remaining members of the team left with WWE.
Strowman and Wyatt are currently battling over the Universal Championship. Before this, they had already faced off twice. This weekend at SummerSlam, The Fiend will look to dethrone "The Monster Among Men." So far, he has used everything within his power to get into Strowman's head.
Despite the onscreen issues that the two men have had on television, they are the best of friends outside of the ring. So much so that when Wyatt welcomed his first child with fellow WWE star JoJo Offerman last year, Strowman was the godfather.
Wyatt and Strowman have been close friends ever since their time as The Wyatt Family. Their close bond means that the feud between the two men surrounding WWE's world championship has been a lot more personal than many fans expected.
