I’d have placed Braun Strowman vs. Bronson Reed a little higher on the list. Usually, when two big men face off against each other, the match gets clunky and it doesn’t flow well at all. When those two faced off, it showed they weren’t generic big men. The amount of athleticism and precision shown by those two in their matches was unheard of from men their size, but they made it work brilliantly.
I also think C.M. Punk vs. Drew McIntyre definitely deserved the number one spot, as the memes and promos were entertaining, as were the matches. But the OG Bloodline vs. New Bloodline should’ve tied at one, since WarGames was a culmination of months and months of storylines.
Overall, this was a good video showing how great of a year 2024 was for WWE. There were a lot of breakout stars, tremendous returns, and rivalries that kept fans engaged for months. The wrestlers put a lot of hard work into their promos and matches, with the fans being there for them every step of the way.
A lot of those rivalries lead to many achievements, such as Cody Rhodes winning the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship from Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL and Punk’s victorious battle inside Hell in a Cell against Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood. Having their stories weave into the matches made both of their victories feel good since everyone was rooting for them to win.
So 2024 was an amazing year for WWE, and WWE did a great job highlighting some really personal rivalries to cap off a terrific year.
