All Things NXT:

        The Slammy Awards Edition

        

Welcome to the inaugural edition of All Things NXT! I'll be breaking down what happened on the Slammy Awards that was NXT related. What current and former NXT Superstars won slammys, those that were nominated, and the surprise RAW debut of a certain "Genetically Superior diva". So let's get right down to it.

 
On the December 8th edition of Monday Night Raw it was the 2014 Slammy Awards. On the Slammy Awards Pre-Show it was announced that this year there would be a Slammy for WWE NXT Superstar of the year. The nominees were: NXT champion Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze,  and The Ascension. Sami Zayn took home the 1st ever NXT Superstar of the Year Award. Also on the Slammy Awards Pre Show the Slammy for the Anti-Gravity Moment of the Year. Adrian Nevile's finishing move "the Red Arrow" was nominated. Sadly, The Man That Gravity Forgot lost to the first ever NXT champion Seth Rollins and his dive off the balcony back at the WWE PAYBACK PPV.

         

It was a great night to be Mr. Money In the Bank. Seth took home Slammys for: Best Rivalry of the Year, Anti-Gravity Movement of the Year as I mentioned earlier, Fan Participation Award with the "You Sold Out" chant from the WWE Universe, and Double-Cross of the Year. Also accepted Slammys on the behalf of both Sting and Randy Orton.

Tyson Kidd and Wife Natalya were nominated from Couple of the year. However the lost to Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella.

         On to the Slammy Awards that aired live on the USA Network.The current NXT Women's Champion make her surprise RAW debut. That right Charlotte, the daughter of the only 2 time WWE Hall of Famer made her surprise RAW debut. She would face Natalya in a one on one "rematch" from their match that took place at the 1st NXT Takeover earlier this year. (In my opinion it was one the best matches on NXT this year.) Nattie would be accompanied to the ring by her husband Tyson Kidd.This was Charlotte's opportunity to make a good first impression on the WWE Universe. She would achieve that. The genetically superior diva mounted a lot of offense in the Queen of Harts. She showcased her technical wrestling ability and he ground game. She put Natalya in the figure 4 leg lock. What we did not see on Monday was Her Finishing Move Natural Section. Ultimately though, Natalya came away with the victory when she countered the figure 4 with a rollup for the 1,2,3.

Charlotte had a very strong showing on her debut. She is expected be brought up to the main roster in the sooner rather later.This a good way to introduce Charlotte to the majority of the WWE Universe. Her losing to Nattie only makes fans want to see more of her.

Some NXT Alumni make history on WWE's annual award show. All 3 members of the faction once known as the Shield took home Slammys for their work as individuals and the work as the Hounds of Justice. Bray Wyatt was nominated for: Superstar of the Year, Match of the Year, the OMG Shocking Moment of the Year among others. The 1st ever NXT Women's Champion Paige was nominated for: Breakout Superstar of the Year and Diva of the Year. Tyson Kidd was nominated for Best of the Year. Lastly Adam Rose and his Rose Buds were nominated for Faction of the Year.

It certainly was a great night for NXT and the NXT Universe. I hope you will join me when I break down the 4th WWE NXT special event NXT Takeover R Evolution match by match, give you my opinions, and overall view on it. Thanks for reading.
