It’s Official: THIS Was WWE’s Most Hated Moment Of 2020

3. RETRIBUTION Swarms Braun Strowman In WWE ThunderDome (SmackDown - 21 August 2020)

Dislikes: 12K

Again, this should mostly be attributed to the (deserved) negativity thrown RETRIBUTION's way during their early run as a stable.

While this angle was no better or worse than their other handiwork, it was the first time the black-clad group had properly went after somebody fans are told to receive as being adjacent to "top star" status. They attacked after 'The Fiend' had made a sensible exit via cutting the lights, presumably not wanting to get caught up RETRIBUTION's nonsense, and didn't let up until the SmackDown roster poured out as a united front, running the stable off.

Again, 19 million people have watched that clip. With such a large number of clicks comes a large number of dislikes. Let's not give the early booking of RETRIBUTION a pass, though. It was rancid.
