10 Best WWE Storylines Of The Past 5 Years

10. Fight Forever

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn may not have had the smoothest lifespans on the main roster beyond star-making moments with John Cena upon their respective arrivals, but a 2016 angle between the pair at least made ample use of the unending link between the pair.

Prolific first as a team and then as enemies in Ring Of Honor, NXT made canny use of the duo when Owens joined his longtime compadre on the developmental brand. Zayn's long quest for the NXT Heavyweight Championship culminated on the very same night 'KO' debuted, resulting in a show-closing swerve-turn from the 'Prizefighter' and shocking title switch exactly two months later.

An unfortunate injury to Zayn upon his aforementioned Cena soft-launch allowed the feud to reach the main roster unblemished. Redebuting in the 2016 Royal Rumble to eliminate Owens, Zayn's return triggered an exceptional series between the two that travelled through WrestleMania and Payback multi-man matches and an exhilarating Battleground grudge match.

Laughably billed as their 'Final Battle', the two were warring again on Raw before the end of the year, and again on SmackDown Live! after both were drafted to Tuesdays shortly after WrestleMania 33. Their October 2017 reconciliation has already shown wear and tear, with an upcoming WrestleMania 34 clash likely to trigger their latest collapse.
