It's safe to say that 2020 has not been that great of a year. The entire world is reeling from the ill-effects of the coronavirus outbreak and WWE is no different. In what was an unprecedented move, the company either released or furloughed more than 30 Superstars and backstage personnel back in April due to budget cuts.
WWE has also been missing the services of many stars who have decided to stay away from the ring due to health concerns. At the same time, some WWE Superstars have continued to build momentum since the beginning of the year.
Irrespective of their current status, there are several members of the WWE roster who were having a great run in the company (some still are) and racking up multiple wins. So without further ado, let us look at the five WWE Superstars with the most wins in 2020 so far.
(Note: All stats are updated till the 27th May 2020 episode of NXT and have been taken from Cagematch.net)
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#T4 Roman Reigns - 20 wins
Roman Reigns was in line to challenge Goldberg for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36 before pulling out from the event due to health and safety reasons. He was replaced by Braun Strowman who is WWE's current Universal Champion.
Reigns started off the year with a feud against King Corbin with the likes of Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode acting as The King's lackeys at the time in WWE. The extended feud, which also involved the use of dog food, kept Reigns busy for the majority of his WWE run this year. He would also team up with Daniel Bryan once during SmackDown to dispatch the duo of Miz & Morrison.
The Big Dog brought his feud with King Corbin to a close after overcoming him in a Steel Cage Match at Super ShowDown back in late February. It was also his last match on WWE programming this year.
#T4 Pete Dunne - 20 wins
Pete Dunne is currently stuck in the UK due to travel restrictions and as such has stayed away from WWE TV for over a month now. The former NXT Tag Team Champion was surprisingly paired up with Matt Riddle at the beginning of the year for the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament, one which the duo eventually won.
The BroserWeights, as they are known, have had several run-ins with The Undisputed Era, the same faction that they had to overcome to win their NXT tag team titles. Most of Pete Dunne's active time on WWE this year has been as a tag competitor and he has been a part of some great title defenses against the likes of Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly, Imperium's Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel, and Shane Thorne & Brendan Vink.
One would expect The Bruiserweight to partner up with Riddle upon his return to WWE's Black and Gold brand, whenever that might be.
#3 Matt Riddle - 25 wins
Matt Riddle has had a tough couple of months on NXT. Firstly, his partner Pete Dunne has been unable to return to WWE due to travel restrictions. Secondly, the replacement that Stallion Pete chose for himself in Timothy Thatcher turned his back on The Original Bro.
Riddle and Thatcher have been going at each other in the last few weeks now and the latter secured a huge win in a Cage Match during this week's episode of NXT. However, this rivalry seems far from over in my opinion and we can expect the duo to square off again during NXT TakeOver: In Your House.
This shouldn't discount the great run that Riddle had as a tag team competitor in WWE during the first quarter of 2020 as the NXT Tag Team Champion, a title he only lost because Thatcher walked out on him. His "How much fish could Bobby Fish fry if Bobby Fish could fry fish?" chant when The BroserWeights were feuding with The Undisputed Era was truly hilarious and struck a chord with the WWE Universe as well.
#2 Drew McIntyre - 30 wins
I can safely claim that if there's one Superstar who's really made his mark in WWE this year, it's Drew McIntyre. The Scottish Psychopath got the backing of the WWE Universe after eliminating Brock Lesnar during this year's Royal Rumble match with a thunderous Claymore Kick, one that he would go on to win.
Since then, McIntyre has only gone from strength to strength in WWE. He squashed several competitors in The OC, MVP, and Mojo Rawley before eventually bringing down The Beast Incarnate at WrestleMania 36 to become the WWE Champion.
It's been a thrilling ride for McIntyre ever since. He's completely dominated the main event scene of RAW and dispatched the likes of Andrade, King Corbin, and Seth Rollins in the process. He's managed to remain unbeaten this year with the only match where he failed to win being a no-contest against Randy Orton on RAW back in January.
McIntyre now has his sights set on his next title defense against Bobby Lashley which will take place on WWE Backlash in June.
#1 Aleister Black - 32 wins
For someone who still hasn't been involved in a singles title feud in WWE since moving up from NXT, Aleister Black has had a dream run in the last one year. His only televised singles loss this year is still that match against AJ Styles on RAW, one he lost after beating the likes of Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows in separate matches on the same night.
The Dutch Destroyer has managed to impress Paul Heyman who seems to be high on him and many members of the WWE Universe see him as the possible face of the company in the future. Black landed a huge victory against Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 36 and it's only a matter of time before we see him in the World title scene.
The Dutch Destroyer currently has his hands full dealing with the Monday Night Messiah Seth Rollins and his disciples Murphy and Austin Theory. If you can recall, Murphy consistently losing to Black was what forced him into joining hands with Rollins in the first place. In any case, you can expect Aleister Black to be involved in some form or the other during WWE Backlash.
