10 2020 Moments WWE Must NEVER Do Again

4. Unnecessary Pressure

T-Bar RETRIBUTION

Edge could be forgiven for firing a confused text Vinnie Mac's way after learning that his first singles match in nine years would be called "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever". Way to heap the pressure on, WWE. The comeback king Canadian and Randy Orton must've been pulling their hair out and wondering how they could possibly live up to the billing.

Better than Savage vs. Steamboat? Flair vs. Sting, Austin vs. Rock, Chavo Guerrero vs. Hornswoggle? Impossible. Deep down, both guys had to be shuddering at the thought of ridicule raining down on them from all corners of social media.

Remarkably, most wrestling fans rallied behind the pair, refocused on the positives (seeing Edge work again, mainly) and reserved judgement until after. Come bell time, it was a winner - albeit a drawn out, heavily-edited one. Should WWE try to top it in 2021 though? Hell no.

In fact, they should refrain from adding unfair pressure and hype to matches before they happen.
