• Dynamite being the best show
• Cody being MVP, he was boring as f*** until KO temporarily made him interesting
• Cody being the biggest draw isn't abysmal but I think Jey was a bigger draw based on the reactions and his merch sales
• Nia Jax being overrated... she's not even rated by most people, you can't be overrated when you're constantly shit on
• Jimmy vs Jey being worst... it wasn't good but it sure as f*** wasn't the worst of the year either

let's be honest, any WON rankings are always heavily slanted towards AEW

Going to point out that both Dave and Bryan publicly disagreed with voters on the last two. The Usos "won" largely because they had a real bad match at Mania, and just like a great match is way more memorable at Mania so is a stinker. There were several matches that were worse that placed, and the Marifuji-Ibushi match was a "Ric Flair's Last Match" level disaster but nowhere near as many people saw it.

The top of the poll may be reasonable however it loses credibility by the time it reaches number five.

The Rock will be on Smackdown, my bet is to announce Wrestlemania in New Orleans.

Apparently Carmella's contract expired and wasn't renewed
