2020 has been a forgettable year for everyone except for WWE and wrestling fans. Even though the world shut down because of the pandemic, WWE continued to produce its weekly shows and gave the WWE Universe some memorable matches throughout this year.

Wrestling wise, 2020 was a very fruitful year for the WWE. Every PPV has brought top-notch matches, and it is really difficult to pick the best of this year. That being said, here’s looking at the top five matches of this year.

Men’s Royal Rumble Match (Royal Rumble)

This Royal Rumble match was one of the most exciting in a very, very long time. Not only did we see the rightful winner, but we also saw the return of Edge after 9 long years! The match literally felt like two different matches, one until Brock Lesnar was in it and one after McIntyre eliminated him.

Nostalgia, drama, action  – The match had everything a wrestling fan would want. Hence, this match makes it to our list of top five matches of the year.
