WWE needs to conclude these feuds.

Feuds and storylines in pro wrestling are the driving force that keep fans tuning in week after week, creating emotional investment, shaping characters, and giving meaning to the matches inside the ring.

Some feuds have gone on to define a superstar’s career, propelling them to WrestleMania main-event status, while others have failed to make a significant impact.

However, some feuds, even if exciting at first, are stretched on for too long, causing fans to lose interest and tune out. Here, we take a look at three current WWE feuds that have clearly run their course and should be brought to an end.

3. Damian Priest – Aleister Black

The feud between Damian Priest and Aleister Black began in mid-2025 when Priest came to R-Truth rescue, something which Black punished him for, kicking of the feud between the two. The two stars came to blows multiple times, leading to a last man standing match in October, where Zelina Vega aligned with her husband, aiding him against Priest as Black attacked him with a fireball, before pushing off a poduction crate.

While many thought of it to be the end of the feud, the storyline conitnued with Rhea Ripley joining Priest for a mixed-tag team match where the babyfaces picked up the win. Even this wasn’t the end of the feud as the two stars battled in a brutal Ambulance match last week at the first SmackDown of 2026. Fans are now hoping it to be the end of the feud as with the win, Priest ended (hopefully) the feud at 2-2.

2. Rhiyo – Kabuki Warriors

The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) have tormented Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley for a very long time, especially since Asuka’s heel turn, she has punished Iyo for siding with Ripley. The Kabuki Warriors have also attacked Rhiyo multiple times and the latter wanted to avenge all the torment on the first Raw of 2026, when the two teams battled with the Women’s Tag Team titles on the line.

Ripley and Iyo managed to defeat the Kabuki Warriors to become the new Women’s Tag Team Champions. Despite the popularity of the two teams and the massive fanfare for Rhiyo, WWE should conclude this feud and move on, creating new matchups and challenges for the new Champions to take on.

1. Cody Rhodes – Drew McIntyre

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has been feuding with Drew McIntyre for what seems like an eternity. The Scottish Warrior is once again set to battle Cody for the title in a Three Stages of Hell match which will take place at the January 9, 2026, edition of SmackDown in Berlin.

Fans have been demanding Drew to win the title, as it has hurt his legitemacy and made this feud uniteresting as everyone knows the outcome despite the build-up. If WWE has the same plan for the upcoming match, they should atleast conclude the ongoing feud, otherwise what’s the point to use such a rare stipulation and not conclude a feud.

Additionally, the rumors of Jacob Fatu’s return during the show, can be used to reveal Drew as the assailaint, even if it’s predictable and kick off the storyline between Drew and Fatu.

When and where will Cody Rhodes battle Drew McIntyre in the Three Stages of Hell match?

The Three Stages of Hell match between Rhodes and McIntyre will take place at the January 9, 2026, edition of SmackDown in Berlin.

Who won in the Ambulance match between Damian Priest & Aleister Black?

Priest defeated Aleister Black in the Ambulance match on the first SmackDown of 2026, with the win, Priest ended (hopefully) the feud at 2-2.
