Wrestler of the Year (IYO)

His first half of the year was very strong. Headlined the biggest show in WWE history with HHH, and had some entertaining matches. I've liked his stiff with the US title. Admittedly I think AJ had a better year overall. And I could be sold on Charlotte as #1.

It was? The first half where he failed to get over as the top face against the authority figure who 2 years prior was the top heel in the company, only to drop the belt once Rollins returned and then got suspended, bumped down etc etc


His first half was disastrous. They dropped the belt off him immediately after Rollins came back. Before the first half of the year was done.

Not to mention you just said Styles had the better year.

Roman hasn't really done anything with the US title. The first half of the year for Roman was a master class in a failed push despite the WWE trying hard as fuck to get him over to the point of muting the boos and lying about how he gets cheered in the states and booed everywhere else.



Aj Styles-He killed it this year on the mic and in the ring. He has been a real sport with the Ellsworth stuff and despite what most people say I don't think it has hurt his credibility at all.

Sasha Banks gets it from me because she has pretty much killed herself in every match and coming from the disaster of team B.A.D to putting on true classics is quite a leap.

Honorable mentions: The Miz-do I even need to justify this one? I want him to keep the IC belt for as long as possible I care about Miz he has made the IC belt worth it again his stuff with DB has been off the charts and all they did was talk/yell at each other. His in-ring with Dolph was more than main-event worthy Maryse is legendary I could go on.


Matt Hardy-I shouldve hated it but godamn if the wackyness and creativity of the man who was seen as the lesser Hardy didn't win me over. You are doing something right when WWE starts cribbing your notes.
