As another year draws to a close, it's a time for reflection. And for the social media-driven world we nowadays find ourselves in, that means counting up the likes, retweets and friend requests - in WWE's case, seeing which social media posts proved to be the most popular.

With 2021 on the horizon, we've looked back on what superstars and moments proved to be the most successful for WWE when it comes to the company's ever-popular Instagram account. With over 26 million followers on Insta, you can easily see why this is such a pivotal and important platform for Vince McMahon's sports entertainment juggernaut.

Similarly, having that many followers means that WWE can use Insta as a measuring stick of sorts. If a particular talent is pulling in plentiful likes, chances are that means the WWE Universe wants to see more of them. If the likes are left longing for a certain grappler, that likewise serves as an indicator of the company's fan base in a wrestler.

Having totted up the figures, then, here are the eight WWE Instagram posts that drummed up the most likes in 2020.

8. The Dangerous Alliance

Roman Reigns claiming the Universal Championship notched up over 704,000 likes on the WWE Instagram page.
