2022... The Craziest Year in Wrestling History!

2022 is almost over and what a year it has been, as wrestling fans we were treated to a year that I doubt any of us will ever forget. A year filled with some of the most shocking, some of the most fun and just absolutely crazy things happening in the wrestling world. Who would have thought that Stone Cold Steve Austin returning and having one more wrestling match wouldn't even be the craziest piece of news of the year? Who would have thought Cody Rhodes would come back to the WWE? WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT VINCE MCMAHON WOULD BE FORCED TO RETIRE. If there was any year in wrestling that needed a recap, it was this one. So here we are ladies and gentlemen, the 2022 Year in Review. What a time to be alive!

I was live for the Cody Rhodes injury. I heard about the pectoral tear on the drive from my home only about an hour and a half away from the venue and I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw the injury, the only thing I couldn't believe was the fact that Cody would have a 5 star match with that torn pec. He deserves all the respect in the world for that.

@bd_2213 Жыл бұрын

Man the match itself is a 5 star match, and on top of that you have Cody going into that match regardless of the injury

Definitely a WILD ride to be as a wrestling fan. I wouldn't be shocked if people compare this to 2007 as being the wildest and most unpredictable year in wrestling history, or even the best in terms of talent/matches probably comparing it to the mid-late 90s. It's crazy to see how much a year can change and I hope to see more like these in the next year(s).

This was absolutely one of the most wild years ever experienced. SO much happened, it’s ridiculous. Cody Rhodes and Bray Wyatt returning and shocking audiences worldwide, Stone Cold returning for one more match, MJF becoming a legend after delivering a nuke in LA, AEW and NJPW had an AWESOME crossover show, Vince McMahon retiring, HHH is now in charge, we got a LEGENDARY UK show in Clash at the Castle, Logan Paul having 3 of the best matches ever, CM Punk becoming the most hated in wrestling, we got Wargames now on main roster, and SO much more. Absolutely one of the most memorable years for wrestling fans. We truly are winners at the end of the day.😊❤️

Bray Wyatt's return and the build up to his return shouldn't be overlooked. All the QR codes and the plethora of subliminal messages were refreshing and new. So many people were waiting for his return and still had one of the loudest pops of the year even when everyone had an inclination that was he was returning in extreme rules.

@eddieinc.900 yeah you didn't read my comment. I'm talking about the build up to his return and the moment he returned, NOT his run when he returned. Completely different and shouldn't disregard how he returned and moment he did. Whatever happened afterwards is Completely different. After his return might be underwhelming but his build up to him coming back wasn't. You were hooked to see what will happen next week and if he'll be returning that night or clues as to when.

2022 is one of the most craziest years in the history of wrestling. So many moments happened such as Vince stepping down led to HHH being the boss while Punk/Young Bucks drama took place, Sasha and Naomi walk out and the returns of Cody, Stone Cold, Bray Wyatt, Bayley, Lita and more was awesome plus Logan Paul put out 3 incredible bangers while HHH rehired everyone that was released by Vince such as Gargano, Lumis, Hit Row, Teagan, Dakota Kai, Karrion Kross and more. Sheamus was re-birthed by forming the Brawling Brutes and putting out classic battles with Gunther. 2022 also saw rising talents such as MJF, Theory, Gunther, Bron Breakker, Riddle, Solo Sikoa, Roxanne Perez, Domink and more getting the spotlight. What an crazy year 2022 has been.
