C.S. Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Okay, this obviously isn't the WON Awards, but it's a bit of harmless fun and possibly good insight into how the WWE thinks, so don't be shy - post your ballots! My picks are in bold with reasons listed below each category. Superstar of the YearEvery Superstar on the roster is eligible (per WWE.com). Seth Rollins - Like him or hate him, he made the biggest impact. WWE stayed the course with his push and booking, until injuries forced them to go in a different direction. Diva of the YearNikki BellaNaomiPaigeSasha BanksCharlotte - I don't give a fuck that NXT "doesn't count" and I also don't care that Nikki Bella broke the record just so AJ Lee couldn't have it anymore. This was The Boss's year, and she owned it - like a boss! Breakout Star of the YearKevin OwensNevilleCharlotteTyler BreezeBraun Strowman - Is this even close? Charlotte might've had an outside chance if her main roster stint had gotten off on better footing. Time will tell on that, I guess. Tag Team of the YearThe New DayThe UsosThe Prime Time PlayersTyson Kidd & CesaroThe Lucha Dragons - As tempting as it is to vote for Tyson Kidd and Cesaro, because they rule, you can't deny the impact and much wider appeal of The New Day. And considering the obstacles Kofi, Big E, and Xavier had to overcome, their accomplishments are even more impressive. Match of the YearJohn Cena vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins (Royal Rumble)Sting vs. Triple H (WrestleMania 31)John Cena vs. Kevin Owens (Elimination Chamber)Roman Reigns vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Kevin Owens vs. Alberto Del Rio (Raw)Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker (Hell in a Cell) - My MOTY - Charlotte vs. Sasha vs. Becky vs. Bayley - isn't listed. Out of the choices given, Cena vs. Lesnar vs. Rollins is an easy one for me. Cena vs. Owens is a solid #2 though. Rivalry of the YearRoman Reigns vs. Bray WyattThe Undertaker vs. Brock LesnarJohn Cena vs. RusevTeam Bella vs. Team BAD vs. PCBRandy Orton vs. Seth Rollins - I'm pretty "meh" about all of these, to be honest. I guess I'll go with Cena vs. Rusev because I was always interested in the next phase of it, even if the overall result ended up being possibly counterproductive for Rusev's career. WWE Network Show of the YearBreaking GroundTable for 3Stone Cold PodcastWWE 24Swerved - Stone Cold Podcast is the easy choice for me. But it won't win this award (or any other) next year if the taped format is a permanent thing going forward. Poor Jericho and Foley, both of whom should've been nominated over crap like Swerved. I'm sure we can all think of other omissions, which shows you how strong the WWE Network's original lineup is. Double-Cross of the YearJon Stewart attacks John CenaRandy Orton turns on The AuthorityPaige attacks Charlotte and Becky LynchStardust betrays GoldustDamien Mizdow eliminates The Miz - Another heaping tablespoon of big fat "meh." I picked Jon Stewart, because - hey - it genuinely surprised me. Surprise Return of the YearJericho teams up with Reigns and AmbroseThe Dudley Boyz return to confront The New DaySting ambushes Rollins and Triple HDel Rio answers Cena's US open challengeDemon Kane prevents Sheamus' Money in the Bank cash-in - The Dudleys and Del Rio were probably more surprising, but Sting had the bigger impact - even in defeat. Hashtag of the Year#GiveDivasAChance#SaveTheTables#AxelMania#RKOOUTTANOWHERE#SuplexCity - #GiveDivasAChance made an actual impact. #AxelMania affected the product too, I guess, but lol. Celebrity Moment of the YearStephen Amell dives onto StardustThe cast of Entourage introduces Zack RyderKevin Owens powerbombs Machine Gun Kelly off the stageJon Stewart gets on Cena's bad sideWayne Rooney slaps King Barrett - I'll go with Stewart again, because why not. I don't watch Arrow or Flash or whatever show Stephen Amell is on, so his presence made no difference to me, but I do give him credit for looking good in his match. "Tell Me You Didn't Just Say That" Moment of the YearAmbrose calls Rollins "Justin Bieber"Rollins calls Johnny Manziel "Johnny Idiot Face"Lesnar introduces "Suplex City" to the worldRollins says Kane was just "there" at WrestleManiaPaige spoils Charlotte's Divas title celebration - Paige delivered a killer speech. The rest of this is fluff. Best John Cena US open challengeCena vs. CesaroCena vs. ZigglerCena vs. ZaynCena vs. AmbroseCena vs. Neville - The Zayn match felt like the anointing of a new star, especially with Bret being the one who introduced him. It reminded me of Cena's first match against Angle all those years ago. LOL Moment of the YearEdge and Christian battle New DayThe Bushwhackers Hall of Fame speechThe Miz and Damien Mizdow commercialThe Authority dance with The New DayR-Truth thinks he's in the Money in the Bank ladder match - Did anything else even compare to that awesome speech by The Bushwhackers? "This is Awesome" Moment of the YearBrock Lesnar destroys J&J Security's carRandy Orton's RKO to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 31Charlotte, Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks are called up to the main rosterThe Shield give Randy Orton a triple powerbombThe Rock and Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 31 - I'm not a Randy Orton fan by any means, but that was one pretty sweet lookin' RKO. "OMG!" Shocking Moment of the YearSeth Rollins cashes in Money in the Bank contract at WrestleMania 31Brock Lesnar destroys everyoneKalisto hits Salida Del Sol off a ladder through another ladderUndertaker is abducted by The Wyatt FamilySheamus cashes in Money in the Bank contract at Survivor Series - I talked myself out of thinking that Rollins would cash in at Mania, so it was a genuine shock to me at least. Extreme Moment of the YearBrock Lesnar and The Undertaker have a pull apart brawlDean Ambrose is powerbombed through a ladder at WrestleMania 31 by Luke HarperSeth Rollins breaks John Cena's noseRoman Reigns snaps, destroys everyone at TLCNeville hits a splash off a ladder onto a group of stars - Maybe because it's the one freshest in my memory, but Roman's post-match actions at TLC were - in a word - awesome.
