Festival of Friendship for segment of the year hands down.

Yeah I guess Cena/AJ for Main Roster match of the year. All my favorite WWE matches were in NxT this year. Was AoP/DIY/Revival this year? That match blew my balls off. Black/Dream for feud and maybe match of the year too.

Man I don’t even know who gets superstar of the year. WWE spent so much time putting Roman and Jinder over that everyone else suffered.

Bliss I guess is woman of the year, but it’s the same thing. They geeked out their whole roster on both shows to build her up. Can’t think of a true standout women’s match on the main roster. I guess the Mania 4-way? NXT I’m thinking Asuka/Moon II in Brooklyn or Asuka/Cross falls out anywhere if TV matches count. That match was great.

Main roster tag teams? I might go Usos or New Day both as team of the year and one of their matches for main roster match. For NXT does Wargames count? AoP/DIY/Revival might have to do it otherwise. I might go AoP as NxT tag team of the year. They had a really good year and improved so damn much.

He won it against Jericho at Mania, defended it, they switched shows and KO feuded with AJ and in the summer Jericho made a quick return to cost KO and then the awful face of America gimmick died.

i remember now. the last part of your post makes Y2J superstar of the year by default. f*** that KO gimmick.....

(its AJ for me. no doubt wrestler of the year)

Pretty much as to be AJ, but he honestly didn’t have the best year for his standards thanks to the very sub par booking.

He would be face of the year too. I guess KO is the de facto heel of the year? Unless we count Roman as a heel.

Do we do kayfabe or no? If we set our bias aside, Jinder has to be superstar of the year right?

Went from jobber to main event and holding the WWE Title the majority of the year and wins over some of the companies biggest stars.


I’d also say The Miz. Held the IC title essentially the entire year. The most consistent guy on the mic. Consistently good (but not great) matches.

I dunno, it’s largely been a meh year

If his contract was up, why is it bad on WWE for not keeping him? Time to move on. It happens to everyone in life.

im more interested in the fact that - if true - all of Johnstons themes will be replaced. including Corbins new one if so

Superstar of the year generally attributes to actually being a good performer and putting on good matches
Not winning them per se

So no
Jinder is still absolute trash and does not belong in the conversation, personally speaking

yeah, but actually read what I posted. the source supposedly says they want to replace JJ's themes. not just because they own them.

Non-kayfabe. We base it off actual performances. Of course it’s all up to you how you decide to vote. Historically it hasn’t been kayfabed.

Styles is superstar of the year. like its not even remotely debatable.

It was a landslide last year too iirc.
