Welcome to Week 53. This was the final week of 2020. Smackdown & 205 Live was Week 1 of 2021. For the complete December in Review, go here. The entire Year In Review is too long to post here, so I invited you to check it on my site here. Instead of doing the entire W/L Records for 2020, which you can see in the Year in Review, I will just include the 2021 W/L Records. Also, starting now, I will be changing my format for my site. Let me know what you think about it.
Now without further ado, here are the Win-Loss Records for this week, followed by the results of the week that was. Please send all feedback comments to my Twitter Account (@hbkid718) & to review all of this week’s Tweets, Search “#DBWL”. Thanks.
