For most of 2020 major professional wrestling companies were unable to run events with live fans in attendance. And even when they could, it was either virtually via WWE’s ThunderDome or with severely limited crowds at NXT’s Capitol Wrestling Center and AEW’s Daily’s Place Amphitheatre. And yet, some promising young wrestlers still managed to connect with fans amid the chaos. Bianca Belair made her long-awaited jump to the main roster, Darby Allin finally defeated Cody Rhodes to finish out the year as TNT Champion, Jey Uso made the most out of a small opportunity and put on two great pay-per-view matches with Roman Reigns, Orange Cassidy went from being an inside joke to one of AEW’s top draws and Shotzi Blackheart managed to stand out despite being in the middle of an incredibly stacked Women’s Division in NXT. Of those five, who do the voters think had a stellar 2020 and will shine in 2021?
