Ranking EVERY 2020 WWE Pay-Per-View From Worst To Best

3. Hell In A Cell

The Good: Bayley and Sasha Banks contested WWE's best pay-per-view match of the year, paying off a textured 10-month feud and restoring the aura of the Hell In A Cell gimmick in the process. The details littered throughout the clash rewarded everybody that had stuck with them throughout an absorbing 2020 programme and those that had watched them do much the same in NXT five years earlier. In a magnificent opener, Roman Reigns further revitalised himself in another evocative destruction of cousin Jey Uso.

The Bad: Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre's third supershow headliner was one too many and shouldn't have headlined the show either. Bobby Lashley's victory over Slapjack was just another nail in Retribution's already-sealed coffin.

The Ugly: Tucker's turn on Otis made victims of the wrong people - the latter lost a Money In The Bank briefcase he perhaps shouldn't have been given. The former was undeservedly robbed of his entire gimmick.
