10 Boring WWE Feuds That Dragged On WAY Too Long
2. John Cena Vs. Randy Orton (2009)
We can all agree that two of the cornerstones of WWE in the 2000s were Randy Orton and John Cena. While both were problematic in their own right, they were both undeniably draws for the company.
That being said, both superstars were past their peak during their feud in the autumn of 2009.
The programme between the pair began at Night of Champions in which Orton defended the WWE Championship against both John Cena and Triple H. From this point Orton and Cena had matches together at four consecutive pay-per-views. That's four months of increasingly tedious wrestling matches.
While each match had a different stipulation to it, the resulting product was a boring affair. The I Quit match at Breaking Point and the Iron Man match at Bragging Rights were both unnecessarily long, with both men not varying their signature offence to help differentiate between the two.
The pair also fought in one of the dullest Hell in a Cell matches that the modern era has ever seen, with no memorable spots to speak of from the contest. While both men have vastly reinvented themselves in current WWE, with Orton's terrific heel character and Cena's deconstruction in the Firefly Fun House, the pair just couldn't work well together in 2009.
