WWE NXT Slammy Awards 2015: Who Would Be Nominated and Win?
WWE.com
Tag Team of the Year
The nice thing about NXT is there are multiple relevant tag teams to choose from. While the tag team division could be better, it is still rock-solid with 2016 possibly being the year where we get matches consistent with singles competition.
The winners of Tag Team of the Year go to Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder. Yes, they have only been relevant for maybe 2-3 months, but their work together in the ring has outshined other tag teams. Enzo Amore and Big Cass are NXT’s most entertaining act, but this is about the tag team and what they do in the ring.
Next year, Chad Gable and Jason Jordan will probably win this Slammy Award because of their tremendous tag team work. If they held the belts this year, they would be an easy pick for this.
Other nominees:
- Enzo Amore and Big Cass
- Blake and Murphy
- The Vaudevillains
- Jason Jordan and Chad Gable
Breakout Star of the Year
Breakout Star of the Year has a bit of a different feel to it since most of the ones up for nomination weren’t seen on TV prior to debuting.
However, the award has to go to Alexa Bliss here, who is beating out stiff competition. The work she put in to become arguably the best female heel in NXT with her microphone skills and in the ring has been amazing to watch. She always looked uncomfortable as a babyface, so this may have been the best thing to ever happen to her.
Bayley is a very close second, but she had a more established character and skill in the ring than Bliss coming into this year.
Other nominees:
- Bayley
- Nia Jax
- Asuka
- Apollo Crews
