10 Best WWE Storylines Of The Last 5 Years

Professional wrestling storytelling doesn’t always have to be complicated. At its heart, a pro wrestling story is usually based around two people that don’t like each other and indeed some of the industry’s best tales involve nothing more than that concept.

A perfect example of this would be the feud between Christian and Randy Orton in the Summer of 2011. The set-up was simple: Randy Orton won the World Heavyweight Championship from Christian and Christian refused to give it up easily. What made it so great, though, was a brilliant heel turn by the obsessed Christian and the unbelievable in-ring chemistry these two had. They consistently found a compelling reason to keep wrestling each other and every match seemed to improve on the one that came before.

This seemingly simple rivalry ended up generating months’ worth of content for Smackdown and would prove to be one of the best feuds in either man’s considerable careers. It was the kind of simple booking brilliance that sometimes makes WWE fans ask “What’s so hard about that?”
