The last time the Slammy Awards were held was four years ago, when R-Truth hosted the event. This time, currently injured New Day member Big E will host the show alongside Cathy Kelley, with many superstars expected to appear during the show. 

The different categories include male, female, and NXT Superstars of the Year. Other categories were also teased, including the Best Return to WWE and Faction of the Year. Not only that, there were also categories based on the Best Social Star of the Year and the Best Match of the Year. It will be interesting to see which superstar wins the most Slammy Awards, thanks to the fans’ votes.

Some wrestling enthusiasts were happy with the decision and were excited about the different storylines that would emerge from it. Others hoped that The American Nightmare would win the Slammy for Best Superstar of the Year.
