I have seen countless threads about 'dream feuds' that never happened. Rock vs HBK, Hogan vs Austin, Goldberg vs Austin, Hart vs Angle, Taker vs Sting are a few that spring to mind. What I haven't seen is modern day feuds that never happened.
Looking back say over the last 5 years there are a few that come to mind and for a series of reasons, or no reason at all these feuds never happened. Below I will list them and look forward to feedback and your own!
CM Punk vs Edge
I can't remember these two having a feud of any kind. I do remember a match a few years ago on Raw when they were traded in a mini draft. I put both of these superstars on an equal footing. Punk probably peaked more than Edge ever did, back in 2011/2012 but Edge was 'Mr Smackdown' for a while and for me he was at his hottest when he feuded with John Cena. Both were great talkers, the promos would have being epic and they could both go in the ring. I think if Edge hadn't retired early then this would have happened at some point, but WWE had a big window of opportunity with both and I cannot help think they missed it.
Brock Lesnar vs Batista
They could have done this a decade ago I guess but Batista wasn't at Brocks level then. Batista returned around a year ago but his run was only a few months long. They did tease them both in the ring together on Raw and I think if Batista had of been over with the crowd and not booked at Triple H's lacky towards the end then we could have seen them face off maybe at Summerslam? The window of opportunity has shortened on this one and almost loks impossible now.
Rey Mysterio vs Sin Cara
Probably not a popular choice with a lot of people but it looks like WWE were going to set this up before injuries (and botches) got in the way and the feud was canned. I think if the Cara character had of took off like WWE wanted it too, we would have seen a 'passing of the torch' at some point. I think this would have been a very good match, but a not so great feud.
