10 Best WWE feuds of 2018

#8 AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

This was no dream match

Much like Miz vs. Bryan, this feud was solid, but fell far short of the high expectations that we had for it. It started hot with Nakamura's acclaimed Royal Rumble victory, but ultimately petered out at WrestleMania 34.

Nakamura then turned heel in one of the best moments of the year, and his new persona was well-received. Unfortunately, the feud again petered out, descending into excessive low blows and screwy finishes at the Greatest Royal Rumble and Backlash.

We ultimately did get a very good last man standing match at Money in the Bank. Unfortunately, it felt like the feud had been going on forever by that point, so it wasn't as well-received as it perhaps should have been.

High expectations may have dragged this feud down for its failure to meet an imaginary standard, but it was still good by 2018 metrics.
