WWE Rumor: Slammy Awards Not Happening This Year

Every year in December, we are habituated to see the exciting WWE Slammy awards. This is one episode that takes place on WWE Raw to crown the best WWE performers in the entire year. The categories include male and female superstars of the year, the breakout star of the year, match of the year, OMG moment of the year and more. The winners are declared via audience pole from the WWE app.

This year, though, we have not received any update about the Slammy awards’ schedule. The Raw on December 19 will not be the host of the awards and no updates have been given about next week which is going to be the final episode of Raw, this year. Furthermore, WWE’s upcoming schedule also has not mentioned about this much anticipated night of the year.

So, quite predictably the reports from PWinsider.com suggest the WWE has canceled this year’s Slammy awards. It further said if Slammy does not take place this year, then it might be held on a Raw episode of 2017. No venue has given any update of hosting the same, till now.

The WWE further pitched the idea of taking Slammy awards towards the Wrestlemania weekend. But, it’s just a rumor at this time since no official announcement has come yet. With multiple shows planned during the Wrestlemania week, the chances of hosting it at that slot are seemingly less.

The tradition of the Slammy awards show was created back in 1986. It was an on and off tradition until 2004. With the growing popularity, the WWE made it a must show around the month of December. So, if this year the award show does not take place then it will be after 12 long years that it doesn’t happen.

Last year, Seth Rollins became the Superstar of the Year whereas Nikki Bella was the Diva of the year. With the introduction of the live online voting system through WWE app, the process was made more interesting. However, reports also suggest this audience poll is just for kayfabe as the real winners are decided much prior to that.
