WWE’s Top 25 Matches Of 2020

The big wrap up. We are closing out 2020 rather soon and that is something a lot of people have been looking forward to for a very long time. Above all else, it is time to look back at everything that has been going wrong for the last year, but at the same time, there have been some good things taking place as well. It can be nice to look back on some of the positives. WWE is doing just that.

The biggest story of 2020 has been the Coronavirus pandemic, which has completely changed the way wrestling works. Things have not gone well, but WWE has managed to keep things going throughout the whole ordeal. This has included running mostly regular shows for majority of the year and now they are looking back on what they did well in the last twelve months.

WWE has released a list of the Top Twenty Five matches from the year 2020. The list includes matches from television, pay per views, NXT, NXT UK and WWE Network Specials.

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that is always going to get some people talking and that is not a bad thing. Above all else, I’m sure there are going to be quite the arguments about which match should be on top and that is where wrestling fans can have the most fun. You can argue this stuff all day and never come to a conclusion, and hopefully that is exactly what people do with all of them.
