The Slammy Awards are like WWE's version of the Academy Awards, but it's more like People's Choice at this point with the fan voting element.

First introduced in 1986, these awards have seen 13 editions so far. They are usually a fun ceremony, but things can always get serious. The winners also receive a statuette portraying one wrestler lifting another for a slam, hence the Slammy name.

Following their discontinuation in 2015, the NXT brand launched its NXT Year-End Awards. Meanwhile, wrestlers from Raw and SmackDown received WWE Year-End Awards in 2018 and 2019.

WWE announced the revival of the Slammy Awards in 2020, with winners revealed live on the WWE Network during a ceremony on December 23. That tradition will continue under Triple H's leadership, and it will be a part of WrestleMania 40 weekend.
