Voting is now open for NXT’s 2020 Year-End Awards
The Slammys are in the books. Now it’s NXT’s turn. For the sixth annual Year-End Awards are here. Voting is now open, and the winners will be revealed next Weds., Dec. 30 on an episode that will double as the New Year’s Evil go home show.
As always, we get to vote. In a pleasant change (at least in my humble opinion), you no longer have to weigh in via cumbersome Twitter hashtag ballots for all categories. Voting can now be done via polls on WWE’s website. If you prefer the social media voting, that’s still an option. Check NXT’s timeline for the requite hashtags.
The other notable change is the inclusion of themed episodes along with WWE Network-exclusive PPVs in the renamed “Event of the Year” category.
And in case you only follow the version of the black-and-old brand that airs on USA Network and don’t know some of these names, that’s because for the second year in a row, NXT UK is included.
Anyway, here are the nominees. The Category headers double as links to vote.
