Lol forgot to put my own opinion
Wrestlers:
AJ Styles
Sasha Banks
Charlotte
Seth Rollins
Chris Jericho(This new catchphrases lol)
Matches:
Charlotte vs Sasha all of them
Reigns vs AJ Styles Extreme Rulez
Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens Battleground
Ziggler vs Miz No Mercy
Male competitors Raw vs Smackdown Survivor Series
Someone needed to make Lesnar look Human. I wouldn't have picked Goldberg, or to have him do it the way he did, but it was something new, and it had the same shock value as when Lesnar basically murdered Cena.
And god, Lesnar was getting stale with his suplex gimmick.

Okay...so we are at the end of year. Curious, top 5 matches and wrestlers of the year?
Male Wrestlers:
Styles (best in the company if not the world right now)
Jericho (he can get anything over)
The Miz (ever since Wrestlemania he's been on a roll, and has gone well beyond even my hopes)
The New Day (for a while they basically carried Raw)
Ambrose (finally reached the peak, and feuding with Styles did wonders for him)
I like Sasha and Charlotte, but they've been carrying this feud way too long, and it's hurt the likes of Bayley and Nia Jax, who are more than capable of playing major parts on Raw. On SD, Becky and Bliss have been excellent without completely overshadowing the likes of Nikki Bella and so on.
Matches wise... There's too many to pick from, but Styles V Cena when Styles went over after kicking out of the super AA was something special.
A really good match was this week on Smackdown too: The title match was excellent. Corbin looked really strong, and even though I fully expected Styles to win, Ziggler yet again has that strange ability to make you think, just for a second, that he might actually win. Edge of the seat stuff, and I really hope Ziggler gets a proper main event run in the next year or so, maybe even after Mania when Cena goes off to do something else.

Originally posted by -Pr-Yeah, i was reading wrestling observers newsletter and saw the amount of 4.5-5 star matches WWE had and a lot of them were starting to come from 2016 😂 Damn you really can't say the company has not improved in the least.
I read somewhere that it's the highest of any year in history. Really not surprised, given how many brilliantly talented wrestlers are on TV.
AFAIK it's a combination of having better writers (one that was brought up from NXT for example), and what I imagine is Vince caring less about Smackdown than he does RAW.
Remember the previous draft? Smackdown kicked the crap out of RAW in terms of quality back then too. Now we just have to wait and see who Vince brings to Raw and dumps on Smackdown in an attempt to make things better.
