Foe Yay/Professional Wrestling

Examples of Foe Yay in Professional Wrestling include:

The fall of 2008 Raw storyline between Rey Mysterio, Jr. and Kane could be considered as such, what with Kane speaking in excruciating detail of the pleasure he always took from hurting Rey, even going as far as to describe the feel of his heartbeat increasing and the happiness he got from carrying Rey's mask around with him.
The storyline between Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar, the two biggest stars of the Ruthless Aggression Era, revolved in a never ending cycle as tag team partners/rivals/buddies with hints of unresolved tension (and obsession) between the two. It was further hinted with Kurt's confusion of his sexuality and a Take that Kiss, as initiated by Brock.
Randy Orton and everyone.
Edge vs Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania 26. Edge will spear Jericho when he least expects it.
Trish Stratus vs. Lita? Or Mickie James vs. Anyone else? Good old Kiss of Death.
Wade Barrett wants John Cena to wash his back.
Scott Steiner wants to put Goldberg in the Steiner Recliner so he can whisper in Goldberg's ear that "Size does matter, BITCH!"
And then there was Justin Credible's bizarre feud with Stacy Keibler, wherein he came across as a Depraved Homosexual who was insanely jealous of the attention Stacy got from the fans and began harassing her during her promos to an almost stalkerish degree. Notably, he'd interrupt her whenever she was about to do something Fan Service-related, and depicted not only this trope but also quite a bit of Green-Eyed Monster tendencies on top of it all.
Perhaps the biggest example though was Chris Jericho and Stephanie McMahon during the attitude era. The two couldn't stand one another, so much to the point that there was a lot of Belligerent Sexual Tension Subtext.
- And more than one "Take That!" Kiss.
The Test/Scott Steiner feud in 2003 involved matches to determine who would get the services of Stacy Keibler. With Stacy already in Test's corner, the stipulation for their Unforgiven match was that Steiner would belong to him as well if he lost... which indeed happened.
On a Raw prior to Wrestlemania XVII, The Miz ambushed John Cena, with the attack culminating in a shot of The Miz looming over a beaten Cena laying by the WWE logo stand, with a particularly sadistic smile.
