10 Best WWE Matches Of 2020

Despite the terrible times, there was still a very small amount of good wrestling in WWE

9. Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens - TLC

When you think of Roman Reigns’ greatest career rivals, your mind probably goes to names like Brock Lesnar or Cody Rhodes, but there’s a strong case to be made that Kevin Owens is actually his best-ever foe. 

Owens stepped up to face Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at the TLC pay-per-view, in a match fought under the show’s signature rules. 

The pair had proven that they worked well together in a no-DQ environment at the 2017 Royal Rumble, but this was on a whole other level. 

KO thrives in hardcore environments and took all manner of crazy bumps to make his opponent look strong. The Big Dog played his role to perfection, attempting to maintain his composure whilst silently in awe of how Owens was able to take so much punishment.

The closing spot of Owens plunging from the top of a ladder after getting choked out was superb, allowing Reigns to retain his championship and carry it into the new year. 

Fun fact: this was the first Roman title defence to feature Uso interference, beginning a trend that would annoyingly continue throughout the rest of his multi-year reign.
