Despite the strange and scary circumstances, the WWE continued to put on weekly shows from their esteemed Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Raw and SmackDown continued to entertain fans, while NXT’s Wednesday Night War raged on against AEW Dynamite.

In the video, they personify the year 2020 as a gross, ugly monster getting beaten up by the best wrestlers of 2020. The wrestlers in the video package were Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, Sasha Banks, Asuka, Randy Orton, John Cena and many more.

Drew McIntyre had a fine beginning to the year. He won the Royal Rumble, beat Brock Lesnar for the title in the main event of WrestleMania, and held it for quite a long time.

The rivalry against Orton halted McIntyre’s momentum, but the Scottish Warrior will still end the year as WWE Champion, unless AJ Styles takes it away from him.

Speaking of AJ Styles, the WrestleMania Boneyard match between him and the Undertaker stole the show. The cinematic masterpiece was the perfect ratio of over-the-top antics and Attitude Era brawling.

It was a fitting final WrestleMania match for the Undertaker. How can we forget the emotional retirement of the Deadman at Survivor Series?
