2022 Match of the Year Award WINNER: GUNTHER (c) VS  SHEAMUS for the WWE Intercontinental Championship – WWE Clash at the Castle

i

i

i

E’ il secondo anno consecutivo, e bene si. Nell’era dei grandi Match della New Japan Pro Wrestling, nell’era della All Elite Wrestling, con un NXT che si appresta solo a tornare quello che era, la World Wrestling Entertainment la spunta per il secondo anno consecutivo, e stavolta grazie al Main Roster. Tanto è piaciuto il Match che ha visto affrontarsi in Europa Sheamus e Gunther, tanto da arrivare prima degli incontri della grande triplogia targata FTR/Briscoes, e soprattutto tanto da rrivare prima dell’Hell in a Cell epico combattuto da Seth Rollins e Cody.
