10 Rivalries That Will Define WWE 2016

WWE's future booking plans might not be as uncertain as they seem...

Amidst reports that WWE's plans for WrestleMania 32 have been essentially scrapped, 2016 looks a great deal less certain in terms of what storylines WWE are going to run with. 2015's slew of injuries have completely derailed a great number of projected feuds, forcing writers to cobble together new ideas on the fly. 2015 will surely be remembered as the year of Seth Rollins, just as 2014 was Daniel Bryan's time in the sun - but who will step up to the plate next year, and who will they clash with along the way? The seeds have been sown for one or two rivalries, and we'll surely get a new batch of clues in the run up to and at December's TLC pay-per-view, but there are really a great many directions WWE can go in. An additional factor here is NXT. WWE's developmental territory is cultivating more talent than ever before, and many are far too good to stay off Raw and SmackDown for much longer. Viewers are already pairing up their favourite NXT standouts with dream opponents on the main roster, and the recent Dolph Ziggler vs. Tyler Breeze programme has demonstrated that the fans' guesswork isn't usually too far off the mark. It's impossible to accurately predict storylines too far in advance - as WWE's recent spate of injury woes has proven - but a handful of logical estimates can certainly be made. Here are ten major rivalries we'll be looking back upon at the end of next year.
