10 Wrestlers Absolutely NOBODY Expected To Lose

A year on from standing tall in the main event of WrestleMania 35, Becky Lynch now being the one to do the honours when going up against the latest up-and-coming one-time NXT star looked to be a certainty as 2020's Show of Shows came around.

After violently targeting The Man on her first night as part of the main roster before utterly dominating inside of the Elimination Chamber, Shayna Baszler felt like a genuine force to be reckoned with - and one who could realistically hold the Raw Women's Championship for a decent spell on the back of picking up an impressive win over one of the top stars in the company.

But more than that, it felt as though Lynch's time as the champ had come to a natural end, with the one-time Lasskicker besting all who stood before her up to that point and not exactly having a whole host of fresh potential challengers post-'Mania 36.

Rather than opt for the more exciting and obvious choice, though, Vince McMahon had his son-in-law's Queen of Spades astonishingly pinned to the mat to the sound of crickets. And rest assured, the same noise would've met this blatantly ill-thought-out conclusion had it not gone down in an empty Performance Center.
