For the first time i heavily disagree with you. Punk vs Cena was an amazing (if not hall of fame) rivalry. Starting with the awesome storyline heading to money in the bank, with that 5 star match in Chicago. This alone should be enough to put it higher. Then they had other great matches, involving other superstars such as del rio or big show. And then they finished it off with that Classic on raw in 2013. Should be higher on this list. Still love you Santi

good matches doesnt make them great rivalries, its about the storyline and john cena vs punk wasnt a good storyline imo as it was mainly punk vs vince

[@alessandromoschi351]

@@bluespeed8900 it’s like saying that Austin vs rock was not a great rivarly because it was mainly Austin vs vince. Punk was the antihero to the system that john was the main guy of. That NY Yankees promo between them is still one of the best imo

[@brandonishimlol]

I agree frr

[@vi_nay]

Match was just okay , if meltzer gave 5 Star , it doesn't mean it was best

[@nishantsalhotra2085]

Punk vs Cena is definitely a Hall of Fame rivalry in my mind because both of them brought out the best in each other during it. It felt so natural and their beef on the mic is the greatest of all time in WWE. When they came face to face, in or out of the ring, you could cut the tension with a knife. Even though both of them are complete opposites, you can understand the mindsets and opinions of both. Nobody but Punk can beat Cena on the mic and nobody but Cena could have brought out the anti-hero persona of Punk in the same way.

[@MotionManNimely]

Their beef on the mic is top tier but no the greatest. I can name better

[@whereta3097]

@@saltanshokunbi2246 For so many years I haven't cared about the main event match at WM until Cody vs Roman, that feud was amazing and so was the match

[@Luckruls]

The promo and the feud leading up was good though! All of Romans jabs about how Dusty trained him, and he’s the son Dusty wanted, and Cody’s talk about how he needs this win to exist. I loved it, they only came face to face maybe once or twice but that kept it special, and the match met expectations. I feel like people discount this feud because of the match result, but I’d say it’s worked out fine.

[@prestobama]

YES! Johnny vs Ciampa is the greatest storyline to ever grace a wrestling ring. I’m so happy it is finally getting the credit it desperately deserves.

[@Mjamess2000]

I love the fruity pebble Cena era.. the abundance of colors he had speaks for itself.. 🐐

[@ATVPokemonMaster_02]

I'm extremely happy that i was lucky enough to watch Johnny Gargano vs Timasso Ciampa pan out in it's entirety. From DIY breakup to the unsanctioned match. I watched it all. And it really was one of the greatest storylines ever told.

[@hoangdan1237]

Because of Chris Benoit tragedy this rivalry isn't mentioned anymore but in term of matches and storytelling Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle is an amazing rivalry.

[@abhiishekbhol]

I think for the first time i am gonna disagree with you. In no way, roman reigns vs lesnar is more amazing than CM punk vs Cena. CM punk vs Cena was the epitome of WWE in 2011. Their match in Raw was fire. MITB was great. The verbal exchanges were legendary. It should have been at least amazing catagory

[@MoJo4468]

The Usos and New Day has probably had the best Tag Team Rivalry in my opinion. Shows tons of COLORS!

[@richardclark1127]

Mankind was a better Undertaker rival than Kane. Kane/Taker had story, but Mankind/Taker had everything. Great matches, iconic moments, great story...and the first person to truly match Undertaker's aura and push him to a new stratosphere.

[@christophersmith210]

Shocked we didn’t see HBK vs Bret Hart on here. But crazy that HBK vs HHH, HBK vs Jericho and HBK vs Taker all are HOF worthy and happened in 8 years, great video.

[@dsmprestige6834]

Should've had Matt vs Jeff on here too

[@cj_sol]

I love this video, because it helps more casual fans see many great rivalries that took place before NXT was so colorful, I mean that rivalry between gargano and ciampa that took place back when NXT’s main colors were black and gold, really showed how no matter what, people who you trust will always show their true colors.

[@Spinofan]

Gotta disagree, the fact people are still pulling for Cody to re-engage and defeat Roman should be proof enough that people cared about their rivalry 😂

[@ShadowWizard224]

The rivalry between prime Great Khali and Undertaker back in 2006 was pretty interesting considering how short it lasted.

[@jaredgarland7973]

I think people forget triple H vs the rock rivalry was great and it needs to be recognized more

[@tekkenaddict1]

I personally loved the Sasha vs Bayley main roster feud. (In Kayfabe) for years, people labelled Sasha as a backstabber who wanted the spotlight for herself and yet for most of 2020, she spent it giving Bayley the spotlight, helping her win match after match and stay champion. Bayley ultimately turned on Sasha because she believed that Sasha would eventually turn on her and Bayley wanted to beat her to the punch. Their feud showed that Bayley had been corrupted by what people (such as Corey Graves and Charlotte) had said for years and truly believed that Sasha was only out for herself. Sasha on the other hand is hurt about what her now ex best friend truly thinks of her and sets out to remind Bayley that Bayley needed Sasha as much Sasha needed Bayley.

I love how in all of Randy and John Cena’s rivalries there is a significant clash in their colors. Especially cause Randy basically always wears the colour black.

[@hunterwise5156]

Lmao the reason for Cena and Punk is really weak, it's definitely better than good. Suppose to look at their rivalry, don't look at what other stories it leads or anything like that

[@Noahswrlds-NO1-Fan]

Always a good day when Santi uploads 🔥

[@shaneburrows316]

I agree with your decision on Edge vs Matt, and also it was reckless on WWE's part to put them in a rivalry together because they could have really hurt one another since there was real heat. They should never make real life situations play out in the ring, never again.

CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy?? That's for me the best CM Punk rivlry of all time. The Straight-edge vs the twisted Popular Babyface has one of the best storyline. Two people with exactly different characters, they are the yin and yang of each other. That rivalry deserves to be under the HOF, especially their career ending match.

[@Odjeisk]

[@UnstableOne]

[@viktor246642]

For me i dont agree with the cm punk vs john cena rivary on good because of the reason you choose to put daniel bryan vs triple h on hall of fame. For daniel bryan you counted the whole narative and for me that is great but if you did that then i think cm punk vs john cena should deserve the same (count the whole narative).

[@Mohammad6112]

Santi dropped the bright Cena color shirts for this one, but I appreciate keeping mini John in the background to make up for it lol

Cult of Personality by Living Color is one of the best ring entrances. If you haven't yet you should do a tier list of ring entrances.

[@jla_3346]

[@seank135]

I’d put Kane vs Taker into hall of fame. If you was watching WWF in 97, the build up to Kanes debut was a masterclass. Then the debut was the GOAT of debuts. Then the storytelling up to WM14. The greatest story ever told in my eyes. It’s a hall of famer.

[@jakeisking4307]

I loved the constant color switch of john cenas merch

i loves the randy vs mick match. the tv screen had to be in black and white color after such a bloody match

[@dionhalpin5117]

The thing that I'm noticing with the HoF rivalries is that the rivalries were only as good as their heels, this elevating the faces. Austin, Cena, Bryan, etc. wouldn't have reached the heights they did if it weren't for all time heels like McMahon, Edge, Triple H. "A hero is only as good as their villain."

[@brob9854]

So COLOR, I really do enjoy the color red. Has such a great reputation among ROYGBIV. Not necessarily underrated or overrated, it’s exactly what it’s set out to be. The best Ciampa v Gargano is an all time rivalry 100%

[@calvinalston685]

Triple H vs Shawn Michaels is a prime example of COLOR being used correctly instead of just a random match on a Wednesday night.

Aside from what’s going on with The Bloodline right now, Yeslemania and Daniel Bryan by far has been one of the best storylines to date. I took a brief Hiatus from WWE in high school after John Cena buried the Nexus. That entire Daniel Bryan storyline (and AJ Lee, thats another story. Shh.) brought me back to the hardcore fan I am today! Id argue one of the best Wrestlemania’s of all time. (Leave me alone Brock vs Taker haters lol)

With stuff like the Usos vs New Day, it was great but different with hindsight. Imo WWE this past year has been so much better that for me, things like Usos vs Sami and KO blow the Usos vs New Day rivalry out of the water in every way. So while the rivalries like that were amazing for its time, i didnt realize back then that it could get so much better in the tag team division like that

[@UnstableOne]

The people that just mention the code word 100% didnt watch the whole video lmao

[@jamiek9780]

I completely disagree with your take on Punk vs Cena. Sorry. The Feud was against the company, but Cena was the guy to represent them. Punk wasn’t going to have matches with Vince, they tried with HHH and that didn’t work. Cena was the guy to represent the company and Punk said that in his Pipebomb promo. His issue is what Cena represents. It was one of the first times Cena was characterized as what he truly was at the time, “the factory created face of wrestling” and Punk was the indie guy who represented the struggle. This feud NEEDED Cena, and it NEEDED Punk. No one else would be able to tell that story.

I’m sorry but I disagree completely w CM Punk vs. Cena, should be ranked amazing at least. Cena couldnt beat punk clean for a year and a half but called him out for lying to the fans to get to the top. They even had Vince out there trying to get the belt off punk but he kept it just to spite the system, which was his whole motivation from the beginning, and he kept winning. Great stuff.
