10 Worst WWE Wrestlers Of 2020

The likes of Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, The Hurt Business, Bayley, Sasha Banks and Randy Orton all made 2020 tolerable. Every single one of those acts worked great matches, cut good promos and generally kept fans entertained throughout an otherwise painful 12 month spell.

Then, there were those on the opposite side of the quality divide.

They contributed to sleepless nights by heaping nightmare fuel on the wrestling kingdom during 2020. In some cases, WWE creative are to blame - after all, they're the ones who penned this tripe, shoved it out onto programming and thought it'd be good enough. Sure, they deserve some of the critical slaps being handed out, but they shouldn't get all of them.

Wrestlers themselves have to take stick for their performances this year too. They can't hide behind the writers when they were the ones stinking up rings and leaving everyone cold with their work. The common phrase, "maximise your minutes" didn't apply to these men and women.

All of them were responsible for some tragic TV that ranks right up there with the worst in WWE circles.

What in the name of Niflheim happened here?

Anyone who watched War Machine in Japan, ROH or on the indy scene could tell you that Hanson and Rowe were one of the most bad ass teams around. They effortlessly projected vibes that were equal parts Road Warriors and Demolition, and they seemed to be perfect for WWE.

The truth has been somewhat different. Following a lovely run on NXT, the renamed War Raiders were butchered on Raw, and things have only worsened in 2020. Who would've thought that 2019's moniker merry-go-round would be the least of their problems?

The retitled (yes, again) Viking Raiders were cast as comedic buffoons during a never-ending feud with The Street Profits for most of the year. Some might find this sort of thing endearing, and it can be with the right wrestlers, but it's painful to watch for those who enjoyed their robust antics pre-WWE.
