Jul 25, 2020
WWE.com has listed the company's ten best matches so far for 2020, with selections encompassing the Raw, SmackDown, and NXT brands.
In what may surprise some, the match dubbed the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" was not number one on the company's own list.
The ten selections were:
10. Matt Riddle vs. Timothy Thatcher (NXT, Fight Pit)
9. Keith Lee vs. Adam Cole (Great American Bash)
8. The simultaneous men's and women's Money in the Bank ladder matches
7. Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair (WrestleMania 36)
6. Drew McIntyre vs. Seth Rollins (Money in the Bank)
5. AJ Styles vs. Daniel Bryan (IC tournament final)
4. Men's Royal Rumble match
3. Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Io Shirai (In Your House)
2. Edge vs. Randy Orton (Backlash)
1. Undertaker vs. AJ Styles (WrestleMania 36)
For Taker and Styles' Boneyard match, the entry noted, in part, "In an era where the cinematic match has unexpectedly become a new normal, the Boneyard Match between Undertaker and AJ Styles that closed out the first night of WrestleMania 36 is the gold standard.
"...if this battle was indeed Undertaker's last ride on The Grandest Stage of Them All, it's only fitting it would be in yet another Match of the Year candidate."
