WWE Slammy Awards 2015: Nominees and Predictions
Best John Cena US Open Challenge
This was a tossup between Cena’s epic match with Cesaro and the one featuring the main roster debut of Sami Zayn. I have to give this one to the former because the match was just incredible. It’s tough to go against the former NXT Champion but what Cesaro did during that bout was awesome. It’s a must-watch on the WWE Network.
Other nominees:
- Cena vs. Zayn
- Cena vs. Dolph Ziggler
- Cena vs. Dean Ambrose
- Cena vs. Neville

“Tell Me You Didn’t Just Say That” Moment of the Year
This category doesn’t do much for me. If it had a better title it would seem better. I’ll roll with Brock Lesnar declaring “Suplex City” has arrived at WrestleMania 31.
Other nominees:
- Dean Ambrose calls Seth Rollins “Justin Bieber”
- Seth Rollins calls Johnny Manziel “Johnny Idiot Face”
- Seth Rollins says Kane was just “there” at WrestleMania 31
- Paige spoils Charlotte’s Divas Championship celebration
Celebrity Moment of the Year
Since I was in the building for this moment, Jon Stewart costing John Cena the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and WWE United States Championship at WWE SummerSlam gets my vote. The crowd exploded for this when Stewart sided with Seth Rollins. While it may not have gotten over well with the TV audience, the live crowd couldn’t have been happier. Kevin Owens powerbombing Machine Gun Kelly through a table is a very close second, however.
Other nominees:
- Stephen Amell hits a dive on Stardust at SummerSlam
- Zack Ryder gets introduced by the cast of Entourage at WWE Raw on Long Island
- Kevin Owens powerbombs Machine Gun Kelly through a table
- Wayne Rooney slaps King Barrett
