WWE NXT reveals Year-End Award winners

Posted on by Bryan Rose

This 2025 NXT Year-End Awards are out.

Je’Von Evans and Sol Ruca ended up being the major winners of this year’s awards, scoring two trophies each. Evans won the Male Superstar of the Year and also was a part of the Match of the Year where he faced Oba Femi and Trick Williams in a triple threat match at NXT Stand and Deliver. Sol Ruca meanwhile won the Female Superstar of the Year award and also won Tag Team of the Year with Zaria.

Here are the full list of winners:

  • NXT Male Superstar of the Year: Je’Von Evans
  • NXT Tag Team of the Year: Sol Ruca and Zaria
  • NXT Match of the Year: Oba Femi vs. Trick Williams vs. Je’Von Evans from NXT Stand & Deliver
  • NXT Female Superstar of the Year: Sol Ruca

Evans lost in the main event of this week’s show to Ricky Saints, who he has been feuding with for the last several weeks. He has made appearances on the main roster and it was noted last week that he would soon become a free agent. Ruca had been a double champion in the last year, holding the Women’s Speed Championship and the Women’s North American title at the same time.

It’s time for the Saturday Wrestling Observer Live with Jim Valley with lots of holiday wrestling for the weekend.

We’ll run down Friday’s WWE SmackDown and WWE Raw taping results for next Friday and this Monday, respectively.

Plus, AEW Collision was at a special time Saturday, AAA Guerra de Titanes, House of Glory, CMLL and AEW this weekend at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

It’s the holiday season and people are too uptight about end of the year lists. John Cena is more “The Last Jedi” than “A New Hope” and lots more. A packed show.
