WWE announces 2025 Slammy Award winners

Posted on April 20, 2025April 20, 2025 by Ian Carey

The 2025 Slammy Awards took place on Sunday from WWE World in Las Vegas.

Big E and Cathy Kelley hosted the ceremony, which featured 12 fan-voted categories. Nominees were announced in March, and today’s event was streamed on WWE’s social media channels.

There was a bit of an incident when Drew McIntyre was awarded Social Star of the Year. Alba Fyre and Piper Niven came out and confiscated the trophy on behalf of Chelsea Green, citing allegations of voter fraud. R-Truth later retrieved the award for McIntyre. There was also a tie for match of the year. The full list of winners is below.

WWE 2015 Slammy Awards winners & nominees

Posted on December 21, 2015 by Dave Meltzer

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
Breakout Star of the Year – Owens, Neville, Charlotte, Tyler Breeze and Braun Strowman.
LOL Moment of the Year
Extreme Moment of the Year
