10. SummerSlam: Braun Strowman (c) Vs. The Fiend (Falls Count Anywhere, Universal Championship)

The Biggest Party/Event/You'll Never See It Summering Of The Summer was the scene of WWE's most questionable booking decision of the year; even when they've had a generally positive in-ring 2020, that's still saying something. Braun and Bray went to war in a fine - if plodding - Falls Count Anywhere match in order to end Strowman's awful reign as Universal Champion.

This reign was necessitated by the former Eater Of Worlds being pinned by The Headbutter Of Doors in Saudi Arabia for no reason other than Big Bill Goldberg's big ego, and Roman Reigns (we'll get to him, don't you worry) ruling himself out of a War Of The Spears at WrestleMania, leaving Braun to step in and win the world title that he should have had two years ago when he had some momentum behind him.
