4 WWE rivals who restarted their feuds after a decade
WWE has a rich history, as the company began its journey in 1952. The company has been dominating the wrestling business for decades and Vince McMahon's billion-dollar company has an enormous global fan base with millions of viewers.
In order to reach the top of the wrestling world, WWE has provided wrestling fans with indispensable feuds and storylines. A feud plays an essential role in the world of professional wrestling, as it is the main bridge that connects wrestling fans to the in-ring product. With a captivating storyline, fans often get heavily invested in a feud.
There are several wrestlers who have been part of the company for decades. For instance, The Undertaker is still active and he has been wrestling for thirty years. Randy Orton is still a regular performer after making his debut in 2002. Triple H, who made his WWE debut in 1995, still wrestles occasionally in big pay-per-views. As a result, there have been instances when two Superstars restart a rivalry after years, or even a decade. After getting the chance to witness an extraordinary rivalry, the WWE Universe is then granted another opportunity to see it again, after an extended period of time.
In this slideshow, we will examine four WWE feuds that restarted after a decade.
#4 Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the rivalry between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker was one of the greatest in WWE history. Michaels and The Undertaker tussled for the first time at the first-ever Hell in a Cell match in 1997. With an assist from Kane, Michaels defeated 'The Deadman' and then picked up another victory over The Undertaker at 1998 Royal Rumble.
After eleven years, 'Mr.WrestleMania' restarted the rivalry with a goal to end The Undertaker's famous WrestleMania streak. The two legends delivered an outstanding match at WrestleMania 25, but The Undertaker managed to keep his legendary streak alive. In fact, it was The Undertaker's first victory over Michaels.
The Undertaker and HBK met again in a rematch at WrestleMania 26, where both the streak and Shawn Michaels' career were on the line. They delivered another classic match, but the result didn't alter. While The Undertaker continued his unbeaten streak, Michaels retired from the squared circle.
