Get your brackets ready. Wrestling is in a weird place when it comes to being a sport. While there are pre-determined results, there is no denying that the people involved are athletes and have some amazing skills. Those people are going to be able to use those skills to make fans care about what they are doing. Now we are getting a look at the best of the last year.

Next month, ESPN will be holding its annual ESPY Awards, honoring the best in sports in the last year. This will include a Best WWE Moment Of 2022, with fans getting to vote for the winner. WWE has released eight pairs of matches that fans can vote on, with the next round of voting coming in the future. The ESPY Awards will air on ABC on Wednesday July 20 from Los Angeles.

Opinion: This is a heck of a list of options and does show you how things have gone for WWE in the last year. Between everything happening at WrestleMania and over the same weekend and various returns that have taken place, there is quite a bit of material to pick from. WWE has some good things going at the moment and it is nice to sit down and look back at how nice it is has been.
