Dec 28, 2020 at 2:09 PM
The current year is coming to an end and it’s time we look back to the top 25 WWE matches from the calendar that impressed the fans and they have to opt for the WWE Network to revisit those. 2020 was certainly a year that most people would like to forget and so was the case in WWE where programming is going on without the fans in attendance.
The coronavirus pandemic has been taking us to a time full of frustration. There was a time when the world was in the middle of a full lockdown mode. WWE did keep their shows running the entire time doing the best they can to entertain the fans and thus a lot of top 25 WWE matches’ candidates went down during that timespan.

With no audience present in the shows, WWE had to present something interesting to the fans to make them glued to the television. This is the reason why the concept of cinematic matches was born. One of them has eventually topped the list of top 25 WWE matches for 2020. WWE released the official list of matches for this year on their website and you can check those out.

This is a list exclusively presented by WWE themselves with no fans participating in it. Perhaps the results could have been a little different in that case.
However, it’s almost certain that the Boneyard Match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles must have been topped this list of top 25 WWE matches in 2020. This was something that the fans have never experienced before and they certainly won’t again considering that The Phenome won’t step into the ring for a match ever again.
