What was the WWE Match of the Year in 2020? What was the best match and was was the worst match of 2020 in WWE?
This page will act as a running record of matches I've personally thought could be candidates for both the best and worst match of the year strictly within WWE.
I invite everyone to chime in with their own thoughts in the comments below as the year goes around, as well as to toss suggestions of best and worst matches from other promotions such as AEW, Impact, ROH, NJPW, MLW and more.
