Are they running this against NXT?

Also I would love it if The Match Of The Year was any match other than Edge VS Randy Orton. Looks like WWE are covering their bases by listing it as The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever like it was a title match or a different gimmick match like The Boneyard Match.

I just hated the whole build to this match, I just don’t like being dictated to that I was going to watch The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever before it happened.

I kind of find that insulting that I can’t have my own opinion but that’s just me.

Lana vs tables for the steal

4

I’m just gonna gues it’s Charlotte Flair as the winner in every category

5

I guess NXT doesn’t count but it strikes me funny that Charlotte and Becky are up for these when both have been gone half the year or more. I could see for match of the year because that is a one time thing, but superstar of the year?

Free marketing research.

7

What is she and Becky doing in the Superstar of the year category.Have either been seen since April?

8

That is my question as well. My guess is that they didn’t want to include NXT so who else is there on the women’s side beyond Asuka, Sasha, and Bayley.

9

If they couldn’t think of anyone else then they should’ve just left it as those 3. Or add Alexa Bliss and maybe… Liv Morgan (?) if they needed 5. I don’t think Becky even had a good 2019 after the Mania match let alone a good 2020.

10

I just don’t understand why they don’t devote an episode of RAW to this show. After that abortion on Monday you would think they would be open to try anything to fill time.

Just looking at the list and nominees, it’s sad just how bad WWE has become. What a brutal year overall
