Drew McIntyre (6 percent)<br \/>\nOthers (39 percent)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s Notes:<\/strong><\/span> What a difference a year makes. Damn near everyone thought Cody needed to turn heel while he was still in AEW, but a move to WWE changed everything. Cody topped Jon Moxley by just a single vote to bring home the award. Kevin Owens started the year as a heel, but he did enough as a babyface to earn the third spot. I&#8217;m happy to see Josh Alexander crack the top five. Impact doesn&#8217;t have as many viewers as WWE or AEW, but Alexander has done good work as the face of the company. Drew McIntyre is a terrific babyface and his year peaked with his performance at the Clash at the Castle event. Last year&#8217;s top five finishers &#8220;Hangman&#8221; Adam Page, Big E, Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, and Bianca Belair all failed to make the list. Big E was sidelined by injury, but it&#8217;s interesting that the other four failed to crack the top five.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-1423999381\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":108198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4781,1426,2],"tags":[2486,2321,86,630,210,3595,37,128,63,101],"class_list":["post-124441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2022-awards","category-awards","category-newsticker","tag-aew","tag-gcw","tag-impact-wrestling","tag-mlw","tag-njpw","tag-njpw-strong","tag-nxt","tag-pro-wrestling","tag-roh","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
