  • WWE 2015 Slammy Awards winners & nominees

    Today is Slammy Award day at WWE, which means a series of awards (some tongue in cheek, some serious) will be released throughout the day with what the company believes are the major awards being released throughout the three-hour Raw tonight from Minneapolis.

    Usually this builds to the fan voted Superstar of the Year award at the end of Raw. Given the timing of Roman Reigns winning the title this past week and all voting being done this week, plus the other leading candidates, Seth Rollins, John Cena and Brock Lesnar all being off television the past two months, he would look to be the favorite.

    These awards will be announced throughout the day on WWE.com and will get updated here as they do:

    • Tag Team of the Year – The New Day would seem like the favorite here.
    • Hashtag of the Year
    • Celebrity Moment of the Year – Stephen Amell, Jon Stewart and Wayne Rooney would be the favorites here.
    • Tell Me You Just Didn’t Say That Moment of the Year
    • Best John Cena Open Challenge match of the year – Choices are Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler, Sami Zayn, Dean Ambrose and Neville.

    The following awards will be announced on the Raw pregame show on the WWE Network starting at 6 PM EST:

    • Rivalry of the Year – Undertaker vs. Lesnar would be a favorite but you can’t predict fan voting on something like this
    • Double Cross of the Year
    • Surprise Return of the Year
    • Best WWE Network Original Series

    These awards will air live on Raw:

    • Superstar of the Year
    • Match of the Year  – Candidates are John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins at Royal Rumble, Sting vs. HHH at WrestleMania, Cena vs. Kevin Owens at Elimination Chamber, Reigns vs. Alberto Del Rio vs Dolph Ziggler vs. Owens on Raw, Lesnar vs. Undertaker Hell in a Cell
    • Diva of the Year – Choices are Nikki Bella, Noami, Charlotte, Paige and Sasha Banks

  • WWE Slammy Award voting starts tonight

    The WWE announced that Slammy Award voting will begin tonight with the awards show next Monday, December 21st, part of ‘WWE Week’ on USA Network. 

    Monday’s Slammy-riffic RAW will be followed up by a live Smackdown on Tuesday, and the taped Tribute To The Troops on Wednesday.

    WWE announced voting will take place exclusively on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, bypassing their website completely. The winners of these categories, except for Superstar of the Year, will be announced prior to Raw.

    • Surprise Return of the Year
    • Best Original WWE Network Show (So much for voting up any of that old footage.)

    On RAW, there will be eight additional categories that will voted on via the WWE app live during the show. These winners, and Superstar of the Year, will be announced during Raw.

    • Match of the Year
    • Diva of the Year
