10 Wrestlers Who Are Enjoying A Career-Best Year In 2020

Some performers have struggled working in empty arenas, others have rolled with the punches. Bayley, among a handful of others, has thrived. Paired with Sasha Banks (also on a great 2020), she has been one of the finest heels in the business, gobby, opportunistic, and deliriously entertaining.

Bayley just never shuts up. That’s the key to her success - she never lets the ominous feeling of the massive empty venue become an issue by nattering on constantly. Even before the Thunderdome smoothed over some of the creases, you knew you were in safe hands with Bayley - she could make you forget that there was no one in the audience.

The slow build towards the eventual demolition of her friendship with Sasha exhibited a patience rarely seen in modern WWE, and when the pair did split, their match immediately turned into the most must-watch clash the company had to offer.

Their Hell In A Cell showdown didn’t disappoint. Bayley has now lost her Smackdown Women’s Championship, but a performer of her calibre is never going to be far from the title picture. More than anyone else, she has proven herself to be completely irreplaceable.
