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

7. SummerSlam

The Good: We Never Saw Roman Reigns Coming. Another stupid WWE tagline had a pretty amazing payoff when 'The Big Dog' returned and beat the sh*t out of Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman after the former defeated the latter for the Universal Title. Sasha Banks and Bayley had individually ace matches with Asuka that played into the storyline between the two of them, Seth Rollins was a ring general in his expert carry job of Dominik Mysterio, and Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville concluded an emotionally charged series with a strong undercard brawl.

The Bad: Andrade and Angel Garza were absolutely, positively f*cked and finished when they couldn't beat The Street Profits yet again. Zelina Vega was almost always awesome, the wrestlers themselves were tremendous, but this anti-push was disastrous.

The Ugly: "Ugly" is probably harsh, but the first chapter of a long Drew McIntyre/Randy Orton story was pretty dull, and the finish - a backslide on the Challenger by the Champion - was the sort of thing that shouldn't have triggered the number of rematches we were forced to endure.
