    There have been countless awards shows on television this year, but nothing stacks up to the WWE Slammy Awards, where the WWE Universe chooses which Superstars, moments and matches will receive top honors, and you’ll vote for the winners during the show exclusively on the WWE App!

    As “Robot Chicken” co-creator and longtime WWE Universe member Seth Green serves as guest host of both Raw and the Slammy Awards, what can we expect from a night that will be equal parts illustrious and exciting? WWE.com has some ideas.


    I. And the Slammy goes to… The 2014 WWE Slammy Awards are here, and the winners are completely up to you! Who will take home the golden grappler for Superstar of the Year? What was voted as the Match of the Year? You’ll decide Monday night exclusively on the WWE App! Also, you won’t want to miss the Slammys Pre-Show, only on WWE Network, when the winners the WWE.com Slammy Awards — voted on by the WWE Universe over the weekend — will be unveiled.

    II. What’s Seth Rollins planning? Last week on Raw, after Seth Rollins put John Cena through a table, the Cenation leader got some major retribution against Mr. Money in the Bank and his allies in the night’s main event, which saw Cena, Dolph Ziggler & Ryback score a big victory over Rollins, Kane & Luke Harper. Rollins’ frustration is no doubt compounded after what happened on SmackDown, where he and Big Show suffered defeat to Ryback & Erick Rowan.

    Just six nights before Cena and Rollins clash in a Tables Match at WWE TLC: Tables Ladders & Chairs … and Stairs, Rollins will be looking to gain some key momentum over the 15-time World Champion. What machinations does the so-called “future of WWE” have in store before WWE’s Demolition Derby?


    III. Stair-ing contest Well, that escalated quickly. Last week on Raw, Erick Rowan and Big Show used steel steps to batter one another, inspiring WWE’s first-ever Stairs Match, which will be waged live on WWE Network at WWE TLC. We’ve learned a lot about “Big Red” Rowan in the past week. He has a 143 IQ, he’s a classically trained guitar player and he’s an award-wining vintner. How will this unique goliath’s newly revealed intellect play into what’s sure to be a barbaric contest against The World’s Largest Athlete? Will these two behemoths collide in wince-inducing fashion Monday night on Raw? If both Rowan and Big Show are in the same building, that’s a safe bet.

    IV. What’s The Miz’s motivation? The Miz has suffered the wrath of Jimmy Uso since Monday night, and with good reason. On Raw, after The Usos earned the right to challenge The Miz & Damien Mizdow for the WWE Tag Team Titles at WWE TLC, the self-professed “A-lister” approached Jimmy’s wife Naomi and offered his congratulations, and then gave her some unsolicited career guidance. The over-the-line encounter earned Miz a hard smack across the face from Jimmy later that night.

    Jimmy would go on to defeat an unapologetic Miz on WWE Main Event Tuesday night, but the bearer of “The Moneymaker” wasn’t done tormenting the happy couple. On SmackDown, before Miz battled Jimmy’s twin brother Jey, The Awesome One continued to fawn over Naomi’s skills and physical assets. When an irate Jimmy was banned from ringside, Miz earned a tainted victory over Jey with a little help from his stunt double, Damien Mizdow.

    The rivalry between Jimmy Uso and The Miz has the entire WWE Universe buzzing. Look for things to escalate further on Raw as the WWE Tag Team Championship encounter between The Usos and The Miz & Damien Mizdow draws near.


    V. Will injury affect Ambrose at WWE TLC? After Bray Wyatt sadistically attacked Dean Ambrose with a steel chair on SmackDown, The Lunatic Fringe was rushed to a local medical facility in Oklahoma City for severe neck trauma and a potentially crushed trachea.

    It remains to be seen how The Eater of Worlds’ vicious assault will affect this Sunday’s Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match, but it appears — at least at this point — that Wyatt has given himself a clear advantage at WWE’s Demolition Derby. Then again, Ambrose was able to bounce back after getting his head stomped into cinder blocks back in August. Maybe pain just makes him stronger.

    Tried and failed to find out if Charlotte/Bayley vs Banks/Lynch is booked as an NXT showcase match tonight. There's some smoke to fire but I still don't think it is happening.

    That's all I'm looking forward to, which is a bit sad.

    Vince will surely throw a jab or two.

    I would have Dean as superstar and breakout star of the year


    Also why wasn't Steph nominated for Diva of the year?


    I thought Taker Vs. Lesnar from WM would make match of the year shortlist


    Batista deserves best actor for GOTG


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    how is Shield Vs Wyatts not nominated for match of the year?


  • Registered Users Posts: 787 ✭✭✭Deadlie


    Hope Mizdow wins best actor. Itd push that break up along nicely.

    Well thats me sitting this one out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    If I view this with a positive attitude I will enjoy it. Yes. The Big Show is the man. See, it's working.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,213 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Guys, how is he going to lift him?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,256 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So which of those awards will be fixed. In other words, how many will Reigns win?

    Surprised Big Show wasn't nominated for double cross of the year, since he never does anything like that

    Well it's safe to say we'll have never seen anything like it if he does.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    If the Bellas beat the end of the streak I swear to all things holy I'm never watching WWE again. Apart from that, meh.

    Exactly a year ago tonight this happened.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,213 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    I like Seth Green.

    One of the guest hosts that was tolerable.

    Edit: He's absolutely tiny.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    I miss the Raw Draft


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    The draft actually turned me off of the product when it was introduced. I found it to be very confusing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,481 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    Its a pity Ziggler vs Rollins would have made a great PPV match ya know with some follow up from Survivor Series


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,873 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Hmmmm thinking these award results are predetermined

    One of the worst gimmicks ever, sent out to die
