Finally, the WWE Match of the Year 2018 collection listing can be exclusively revealed. Over thirty matches are included without representation for the final months of the year and stars from each of WWE’s five brands are highlighted. Of course, a playlist like this can be heavily debated. Some may be scratching their heads at a lack of of Buddy Murphy vs. Mustafa Ali matches, for example. So feel free to chime in on what you think should have been included but remember to take into account that this set will likely be updated in January or February to represent the final few months of the year.

Four matches on the list represent the 205 Live brand, two matches represent the Mae Young Classic tournament, one represents NXT UK (although the weekly series hadn’t debuted yet so an update likely will change that count), twelve matches represent the NXT brand, while the remaining matches are representing the RAW and Smackdown rosters at ten and six matches respectively.

This collection will arrive on the service on Monday, December 3rd. In the past, a playlist like this would replace its predecessor and there’s a chance the 2017 Match of the Year collection ends up being removed, however the WWE Network has stopped the needless playlist removals so hopefully they will keep both as many fans would love to see playlists like these and even ones done for years in the past be permanently available within the archives.
