#1 WWE Royal Rumble

Despite WrestleMania being as epic as it could have been, it's obvious limitations stop it from being the best WWE pay-per-view of 2020. The first one, Royal Rumble, is also the best one so far. Aside from the obvious boost the atmosphere gave the show, every match on this card was decent at worst, and legendary at best.
A wild Falls Count Anywhere Match between Roman Reigns and King Corbin kicked off the night at Minute Maid Park, ending with a Spear on top of the dugout. We then went straight into the Women's Royal Rumble Match, a typically entertaining affair.

Bianca Belair, Naomi, and Beth Phoenix had great showings, but it was Charlotte Flair who came away with the victory after last eliminating Shayna Baszler, who also impressed. Bayley vs Lacey Evans was fine, although hurt a great deal by the crowd being exhausted from the Rumble match that preceded it.
A couple of other title matches delivered at Royal Rumble, with The Fiend defeating Daniel Bryan in an extremely violent Strap Match to retain the Universal Championship. Becky Lynch also kept her RAW Women's Title, defeating Asuka in a brilliant see-saw encounter.
But obviously, the match of the night was the show-closing Men's Royal Rumble Match. WWE Champion Brock Lesnar began proceedings and dominated up to half of the field. He eliminated 13 men and had some very entertaining interactions along the way with Kofi Kingston, Shelton Benjamin, and Keith Lee among others.
The tide turned when Drew McIntyre entered at number 16 and immediately eliminated Lesnar, eventually going on a tear that would see him win the entire match. McIntyre had a stellar showing, as did the returning Edge, who shocked the world by wrestling his first WWE match in close to nine years.
A combination of fun moments, unique interactions, monumental eliminations, and emotional highs make this - the 2020 Men's Royal Rumble - possibly the best WWE match of the entire year. And that is the main reason why this year's Royal Rumble remains the best show of 2020 so far.
