WWE Slammy Awards 2015: Nominees and Predictions

Match of the Year
Given the choices, it came down to Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena vs. Seth Rollins at WWE Royal Rumble and John Cena vs. Kevin Owens at WWE Elimination Chamber. Both were incredible matches but the triple threat match will get my vote here.
Triple threat matches are normally chaotic but all three Superstars kept this at a reasonable pace and told a great story. Lesnar unleashed his usual carnage but when he went out for a while with an injury, Cena and Rollins were left to battle it out. Once the Beast Incarnate healed up, he finished off both men and got the pin.
Choosing this over Cena vs. Owens was very tough, though. It was the then-NXT Champion’s first main roster match, which featured him defeating the man who has been the face of WWE for over a decade. KO did it in grand fashion, however, by putting on a phenomenal match that gave him momentum throughout the summer. If only he was able to win that WWE Battleground match.
