WWE Slammy Award voting starts tonight

- Best John Cena U.S. Open challenge match
- Rivalry of the Year
- Double Cross of the Year
- Surprise Return of the Year
- Best Original WWE Network Show (So much for voting up any of that old footage.)
On RAW, there will be eight additional categories that will voted on via the WWE app live during the show. These winners, and Superstar of the Year, will be announced during Raw.
- Match of the Year
- Diva of the Year
- Breakout Star of the Year
- LOL Moment of the Year
- Extreme Moment of the Year
- “This is Awesome” Moment of the Year
