Just had a pretty solid one with Dolph and Jericho so what do you think could be a good feud WWE could do that doesn't involve a championship and why?

Think rather than just flatout doing jackshit with Christian they could make good use out of him feuding him with Dolph over the brief case and keep going with that young guy vs vet aspect that I feel Dolph can benefit from until he cashes in. Two could create a lot of great matches as well as promos.

Cena vs Taker

Obviously because it's two of the companys biggest names, but also they are brilliant wrestlers and excel on a grand stage........Cena going for the streak could be one of the most lucrative Mania's of all time.

Personally I'd love to see Rey in another big feud, maybe against Orton, but that's just preference and I know I'd be in a minority there.

I personally wouldn't mind a series of feuds meshed together between Rey, Sin Cara, and Cody Rhodes mixing it up with Damien Sandow and Brodus Clay's feud. Maybe Jinder Mahal and Swagger trying to take out Ryback and use the tension between Mahal and Swagger to turn Swagger face. Christian just needs a feud period because he's too great all around to be in random matches. Barrett and Orton again with Barrett going over clean? I'm just shooting shit right now.

Ziggler vs. Christian/Orton/Rey. I would take any of these 3, with a clean win over Orton having the best chances at elevating Ziggler.

Swagger vs. Ryback. I actually enjoyed just how physical their last match looked, botches & all it made it just look mean. If they could clean up the match so it looks smoother(less botchy?) I could really get behind these 2.

Since everyone hates Punk/Cena let's just have Cena face Big Show over and over again.

Actually, I'd like to see Ziggler/Orton on SD! right now. I'm just about to watch SD! from this week and I know they have a match on there and about 15 matches over the last year and a half(funny because too many matches between Punk/Cena is why people don't want that) but they never actually feuded. It would be nice to see Ziggler show an aggressive streak and say he can cash his MITB in anytime but he needs to take out the big fish in the SD! pond first.

Anything involving Ryback, to be honest Swagger and Ryback could easily feud. I also remember an article on WWE's website about who can beat Jinder, they said something about an all American, so possibly a face Swagger for that too?

Zack Ryder vs. Curt Hawkins - They have history with each other and would work real well together in my opinion. It would also give me a reason to watch Superstars and would get more people watching because both guys have fanbases.

Wade Barrett vs. Christian - I can't see Christian progressing any further as a WWE superstar so, he may as well help to develop a talent that has potential. These two could put on some really great matches and boost up the SmackDown upper mid card scene. SmackDown leaves a huge gap between main eventer and mid carder (with Ziggler as an exception).

Johnny Curtis/Michael McGillicutty vs. Tyson Kidd/Justin Gabriel - All four deserve deserve time on NXT and seem to work well as teams - this would be a great way to use them in my opinion. If they're serious about beefing up the tag team division teams like these, The Ascension and others deserve exposure.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Randy Orton - Only because Ziggler needs to go over a big name to make him look like a legitimate threat to Sheamus, Del Rio etc.

WWE need to create a lot more non title feuds to create an interesting midcard on all the shows, they need to remember that the mainevent feud can only take up so much time and they do need to entertain us for the rest of the show.

Christian is being wasted at the moment. He is an excellent performer and can feud with anyone, I would be using him against a Ziggler or Barrett. It will be a big win for those two younger stars and Christian will be able to help them a lot. Dolph Ziggler really does need another big scalp, after going over Jericho, to be seen as a legitimate contender in the fans eyes. Randy Orton would have been a good option for him but Orton beating him cleanly on Smackdown kind of defeats the purpose of a feud between them.

I would like to see a feud involving Sin Cara/Rey Mysterio and Cody Rhodes/Damien Sandow. Cara and Mysterio have a reason to team together as they have both been targeted by Cody Rhodes who doesn't like those that wear masks. Rhodes and Sandow are a natural pairing due to their eloquence and apparent intellect. Would be a good clash of styles and a good way to use four very solid hands. I don't neccessarily think they have to work tag team matches all the time but it would be a good way to utilise them all.

Wade Barrett needs something good for when he makes his inring return after a long injury layoff. He should face off against a big name so that he is thought of as a maineventer right away rather than just another midcarder. I wouldn't mind seeing them going back to Orton/Barrett again because that produced some good matches. Barrett taking apart Big Show for breaking his arm would be a good feud but for that to work one would probably need to turn face. I just want to see Barrett beat Show clean.

Ryback. He needs a proper feud soon to really move his character forward. WWE have done well to start feeding him actual WWE midcarders rather than random jobbers but the next step is an actual feud. What about Tensai vs. Ryback? The matches would be a bit ugly and the promos non existant but still it would actually be an impressive victory if Ryback managed to defeat him.

I think Ryback facing Tensai would ruin both of their careers tbh. Albert can't call a match and just because he was big in Japan, doesn't mean jackshit these days. Anyone who is a monster would get over in Japan, Baba anyone?

Zack Ryder should be considered for a real feud with Sandow, both are the antithesis of eachother so seeing them clash would eat up some time for them.

Kane/Bryan? Are they actually feuding? Seems like just another pointless "storyline" with no payoff.

It all depends on the WHC picture after NOC, and whether Orton will be finished up with his movie obligations, but Ziggler/Orton would be a decent feud for the both of them, in my opinion. Would further solidify Dolph's status in the upper card and would give Orton someone credible to feud with.
