10 Wrestlers Who Are Enjoying A Career-Best Year In 2020

10. Jon Moxley

Vince McMahon’s loss has been Tony Khan’s gain. Dean Ambrose was clearly a star when on WWE’s books, but a mixture of company apathy and goofy storylines sent the once and future Jon Moxley scurrying for pastures new.

The moment he arrived in AEW a rocket was strapped to him, and he has repaid their belief with some of the best performances in his career. 2019 saw wild brawls with the likes of Kenny Omega; in 2020, he has been focused on the title, and as the face of the company, he has barely put a foot wrong.

His programme with Chris Jericho was fantastic on the mic and in the ring, and as the holder of the belt he has put on clinics with MJF, Darby Allin, Brodie Lee, and Eddie Kingston. Every instance has seen Moxley and his opponent elevated significantly.

Moxley’s excellence has been well recognised, with Pro Wrestling Illustrated naming him the best pro wrestler of 2020 in their annual round up. With his grit, charisma, and grasp of character, it’s tough to argue with that.
