Over the years, John Cena VS Edge and Triple H VS Randy Orton have been two of the biggest feuds in the WWE, but I want know which one was better?I'll start by reviewing the Triple H VS Randy Orton feud:
The Randy Orton VS Triple H feud goes all the way back to the days of Evolution. After winning the World Heavyweight Championship from Chris Benoit at Summerslam, Randy Orton was kicked out of Evolution the very next night by a jealous Triple H. HHH demeanded Orton hand over the title, but Orton refused, and spit in his face, literally. At Unforgiven 2004, HHH regained the world title with the help of Batista and Flair. Orton would continue to challenge HHH for the title, but he was never able to defeat HHH.
Fast forward to 2007, Orton is now a heel, and Triple H is a face. After John Cena had to relinquish the title due to injury, Orton was awarded the WWE title at No Mercy 2007. But after a match with HHH, Orton lost the WWE championship. Although, later on in the night, Orton regained the title in a last man standing match against HHH. At Backlash 2008, HHH became WWE champion again after winning a fatal four way match, where he pinned Orton. Orton would try to regain the title from HHH, but he would be unsuccessful again, and at One Night Stand 2008, Orton broke his collarbone. This injury put him on the shelf for a while.
Orton won the 2009 Royal Rumble by eliminating HHH. Although, there was something else major going at this time that would later involve The Game. Orton had punted Vince McMahon, and he had begun to terrorize the McMahon family. Orton crossed the line when he delivered an RKO to Stephanie McMahon. HHH was in a rage after his wife was bit by The Viper, and this set up the match at Wrestlemania 25. Orton lost to HHH again, but he was able to turn the tables on HHH at Backlash. He won the WWE championship in a six man tag team match, and he punted HHH after the match was over. Although, HHH returned, and challenged Orton for the title at The Bash 2009. This time Orton prevailed with the help of Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase in a 3 stages of hell match.
If you ask me, the Orton VS Triple H feud never really reached the level I thought it could. It had a big time feel to it, but a lot of the matches they had were either mediocre, bad, boring, or solid. They never really had that one epic match. I feel that the best match Orton and HHH had was the Last Man Standing match from No Mercy 2007. It wasn't great, but it was pretty solid.
Now on to John Cena VS Edge. This very intense rivalry started back at New Year's Revolution 2006. After competing in a very brutal Elimination Chamber, Cena lost the title to Edge after he cashed in his Money In The Bank briefcase. Although, Edge would lose the strap back to Cena at the Royal Rumble just three weeks later. But Edge would not go away quietly. At ECWOne Night Stand 2006, Edge interfered in the match between Cena and RVD, costing Cena the WWE championship.
On an episode of Monday Night Raw, Edge became WWE champion once again after he won the title in a triple threat match that also involved Cena and RVD who was the WWE champion at the time.Things got personal between the two. Cena would attacked Edge and Lita, but Edge would retaliate by slapping Cena's dad. Cena would challenge Edge for the title at Summerslam, but Edge managed to escape with the title again, with some help from Lita. At Unforgiven, Cena would face Edge in a TLC match. Not only was this Edge's specialty match, but Cena agreed to sign a contract to become a Smackdown superstar if he lost this match. Of course, Cena won, and he was WWE champion once again.
At No Way Out 2009, Cena would lose the World Heavyweight Championship to Edge in a Elimination Chamber match. Cena regained the title from Edge at Wrestlemania 25 in a triple threat match that also involved Big Show. But Edge would get the last laugh as he was able to win the title from Cena at Backlash with the help of Big Show.
The Cena VS Edge feud was very good. The promos and segments between these two were awesome, and a good majority of their matches were entertaining. My pick for the best match in the Cena/Edge rivalry would have to be the TLC match from Unforgiven 2006. This was a very good match, and it was filled with a bunch of jaw dropping spots.
My pick for the better feud would have to be Edge VS Cena. I'm a fan of Triple H, but the feud with Orton never really reached the level that I thought it would. I thought they would reach that level when they were feuding heading into Wrestlemania 25, but the match was a huge let down. Cena VS Edge over the hand, did have that one very good match. The hatred between both of these men was at it's peak when Unforgivne 2006 came around, and that match did live up to it's potential. Now of course Cena VS Edge never made it to Wrestlemaina, but the overall body of work in their feud is still very impressive.
What's your pick for the better feud? Which feud had the better matches, promos, segments, and storylines? Also, I want to know which feud was better overall. I'm not talking about certain parts of both feuds. I want to know which one was better over the years.
