Our favorite wrestling matches of 2020

Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens, Tables, Ladders, and Chairs

As Bryan mentioned, since his return in August, Roman has been killing it, and he has such amazing chemistry with KO that this was always going to be a banger. It surpassed every expectation, with Roman’s unquenchable thirst to be worshipped and Owens’s inability to be put down making for a violent, rich fest of No-DQ wrestling.

Kota Ibushi vs. Taichi, G1 Climax

The G1 has so many matches that it allows the company to try some different things to change it up. In this one, Ibushi and Taichi literally kicked each other in the hamstrings for 21 minutes. That’s it. Just traded kicks until Ibushi could barely stand and Taichi couldn’t at all. The most unique match of 2020.

Stadium Stampede Match, AEW Double Or Nothing

You know a match is too entertaining for its own good when even the announcers break character and have to leave to go laugh for a couple minutes.

Pagano vs Chessman, AAA TripleMania XXVIII

AAA in Mexico offered us one of the wildest hair vs hair matches of the year, which is absolutely worth your time, and nearly cracked this list.

Cody vs Eddie Kingston, AEW Dynamite

Wanna see someone get powerbombed onto a pile of thumbtacks? Then TNT Champion Cody defended his title against Eddie Kingston, who had an outstanding year. On Dynamite, we were provided one of the best matches to air on TNT this year by two of the companies’ most talented performers.
