There's no special notes for "Feud", but McMahon hates that phrase too.

Maybe he doesn't like the fact that it comes with pro wrestling 'insider' connotations. For example, wrestling fans use feud to describe a pre-planned rivalry between two or more workers. By doing so, they're acknowledging that it's a staged story with a beginning, middle and end.

WWE announcers aren't allowed to use this. If they ever do, it won't be often.
