WWE Universe is being advised to cast their votes on their chosen moment. We will get to know the final results when ESPYS 2022 will air on ABC on July 20 starting at 8 PM ET. We expect a number of WWE Superstars to attend the show and the red carpet ceremony just like the earlier years.
It should be noted that ESPYS 2022 is the first time that the annual sports-based award show is being decided in a bracket-style, elimination format. WWE and ESPN originally announced a bracket of 16 nominees, last month but that was trimmed down to the best four options available from WWE programming.

ESPYS 2022 field for WWE was narrowed down
The ESPYS 2022 field for WWE has narrowed down where the popular favorite should be the old-school legend Stone Cold Steve Austin’s return to WrestleMania 38 to deliver stunners to McMahon, Theory, and McAfee. Besides, he also laced up the boots for a match after 19 long years to defeat Kevin Owens in a No Holds Barred Match.
Being another favorite sports entertainer of all time, The Undertaker should be the second favorite as he got to enter the most prestigious club of professional wrestling in his hometown of Dallas, Texas.
At ESPYS 2022, he would go up against Cody Rhodes’ return to WWE, a move that made the WWE Universe, throughout. Also, Big E’s WWE Championship win managed to remain in the final four of the bracket given that he’s also a sentimental favorite for WWE fans.
The other four moments that reportedly advanced to the round of eight at ESPYS 2022 were Bianca Belair winning the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 38, John Cena’s return to WWE at the 2021 Money in the Bank event, Stone Cold’s impromptu match against Kevin Owens at WrestleMania and the Hell in a Cell match between Edge and Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel 2021.
