5 most unforgettable WWE moments in 2020

#4 WrestleMania 36 at the WWE Performance Center

WrestleMania 36 introduced us to the WWE cinematic universe

WrestleMania is WWE’s flagship event every year. It is The Show of Shows, The Grandest Stage of Them All, The Showcase of The Immortals. The spectacle attracts tens of thousands of fans from all over the world.

WrestleMania 36 was due to take place at the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Raymond Jay Stadium. The show was slated to have 90,000 fans in attendance. But, as the world became affected by COVID-19, it became ever so apparent that the show would not be going ahead as planned.

On March 16, WWE announced that the event would occur at the Performance Center with only essential personnel in attendance. Further changes followed as WWE revealed that the show was to take place over two nights.

The show was a visually jarring experience, but WWE had pulled out all of the stops to give it as much meaning as they could given the surroundings and circumstances.

The matches were great, and the wrestlers were clearly giving it their all to put on an entertaining show. Every punch, kick, and strike was wince-inducingly audible that heightened the action in the ring.

There two matches especially that stood out and were truly unforgettable. The first was AJ Styles vs. The Undertaker in the first-ever "Boneyard" match.

WWE filmed the match in a unique, grindhouse movie-style setting complete with soundtrack, explosions, and fight sequences. It was refreshing, expertly executed, and gave The Undertaker a fitting end to his phenomenal career.

The following night the WWE Universe was treated to another "cinematic" match. The FireFly Funhouse match between Bray Wyatt/The Fiend and John Cena was a masterful experience.

The "match" took the fans through a warped version of Cena's WWE career, which Wyatt exploited. He showed Cena the errors of his past, especially their match at WrestleMania XXX when Cena defeated Wyatt.
