Rey Mysterio made a surprise appearance to announce "Superstar of the Year."  CM Punk was the winner but unable to accept the award due to his earlier beatdown.  Instead, John Laurinaitis came out and accepted the award on his behalf, saying Punk was in no condition to make it out there.

A 1/2/12 video promo was shown with the young girl in the classroom.  The boy from the earlier promos was saying on 1/2/12 it will be "the end of the world as you know it."  "Control" flashed on the screen before Raw went to commercial.

Suddenly, pyrotechnics went off and the arena went dark for a bit, before Kane's theme music and video hit.  Kane emerged from backstage up on the stage wearing a solid welder's type mask over his face.  He marched down the ramp to the ring as Henry rolled out.  Cena got up stumbling around.  Kane grabbed him around the throat and hit the chokeslam.  He raised Cena up and slammed him down to the mat.  Kane stood over Cena on the mat and then raised up his arms, before dropping them down as the ringposts exploded with pyro.  As Kane's music played, he lowered his head a bit to look down, then removed the welder's mask to reveal a new Kane mask.  He also had long hair again and some stubble on his chin.  Raw ended with the visual of the masked Kane face.

Raw Preview 12/12/11

Tonight's special episode of Raw will feature the presentation of the 2011 Slammy Awards!  These awards are given out on an annual basis to the top WWE superstars and divas in a variety of categories.  Among the top awards for 2011 will be Superstar of the Year with Randy Orton, CM Punk, The Miz, John Cena and Alberto Del Rio all vying for the statue.  Who will win this prestigious award tonight?

Meanwhile, the members of the Raw and Smackdown rosters will also be preparing for the 2011 TLC Pay-Per-View.  One of the big matches on that card has WWE Champion CM Punk defending his title in a Triple Threat TLC match.  His opponents will be The Miz and Alberto Del Rio after they each qualified last week.  Last week's Raw ended with CM Punk besting his opponents after the contract signing.  What will happen between these three this week?

One superstar who isn't involved in the TLC Pay-Per-View after last week's show is John Cena.  Cena qualified for the WWE Championship match only to give his spot up.  Cena chose to trade in his opportunity at TLC to give his friend Zack Ryder an opportunity at the United States Championship instead.  With that in mind, Cena is not in a match for TLC.  Will Raw's interim GM John Laurinaitis change his mind about Cena?  What will Cena have to say regarding all of this?

Check out tonight's episode of WWE Raw at a special start time of 8PM EST on USA!

2011 TLC WWE Championship Match Set?

On Monday night's Raw, the latest TLC Pay-Per-View match was revealed.  The WWE Championship will be up for gabs in a Triple Threat match involving CM Punk, The Miz and Alberto Del Rio.  John Cena had originally been included in the competitors, but gave up his spot in the interest of helping his pal Zack Ryder earn a United States Championship opportunity.

So that seems to leave John Cena on the sidelines for TLC, or does it?  The event is less than two weeks away, but that's still plenty of time for Cena to earn back a spot in the match, making it a Fourway TLC match for the WWE title.  Otherwise, what else does Cena have to do right now?  It would be rare to see WWE leave their flagship poster guy off a card like this, unless he's Zack Ryder's corner man or something.  The only previous time where Cena didn't have an actual fight on a PPV in recent memory was when he was the special guest referee for Wade Barrett's match against Randy Orton for the championship.

With all that said, it seems very likely that Cena will be given some sort of stipulation by Raw interim GM John Laurinaitis.  Most likely if Cena passes the challenge (probably another match), the GM will put him into the match at the TLC Pay-Per-View with Punk's title on the line.  It's just too far-fetched to think that Cena won't be part of this event in December.

One other note, and that is that next week is the 2011 Slammy Awards for WWE.  Once again Superstar of the Year will come down to fan voting and includes John Cena on the ballot.  It won't be much of a surprise when he wins it for the second straight year, but shouldn't it go to another star, such as The Miz or Del Rio, based on their past year's work?  Just a thought to consider as we approach Raw's 3-hour special next week.

2010 Slammy Awards Review - CM Punk Mystery

This past Monday marked a special 3-hour long Raw, not only to bring Smackdown and Raw together before the 2010 TLC PPV matches, but also to celebrate the major achievements in wrestling for 2010. The 2010 Slammy Awards have now been handed out, so it's time to look back at the hits and misses, the winners and the snubs. Are there any snubs in these awards or should we just accept it like many of the storylines full of holes in the plots?

The first contention would have to be giving a Superstar of the Year award based on fan vote. Was there really any doubt who would garner the popular fan vote? Put Cena's name in any category to vote on and pretty much he'd be the winner. If you were to give that award based on body of work in the past year, The Miz would seem a more fitting choice, holding the tag titles, US title, winning Money in the Bank and the WWE Title all in 2010. Cena just seemed to fit into the theme of the night with his re-hiring and the whole Nexus story.

Another strange award was the Diva of the Year determined by a Battle Royal. Honestly, if Gail Kim, Tamina or Rosa won that battle royal would they really deserve "Diva of the Year?" They're all lovely, but let's be serious, Michelle McCool and Layla should have just received the award based on the past year's work.

Someone mentioned on another post that there was no award given for Tag Team of the Year. Maybe that's a good acknowledgement that tag team wrestling is about gone in the WWE?

How about Wade Barrett able to arrange his own match for TLC? Maybe he contacted the Raw GM to arrange it, but how is it that Barrett has such direct contact with the GM and can do this? With that whole Cena re-hiring, there doesn't seem to be too much fuel to the fire for Cena's latest match with Barrett. Cena's been having the last laugh at the expense of Nexus for weeks, so it's not like anyone feels bad for him anymore.

Surprisingly the biggest shocker of the evening came from a guy who isn't wrestling right now, CM Punk. Punk won the "Despicable Me" Slammy for his spooky serenade of "Happy Birthday" to Rey Mysterio's daughter on Smackdown. During his acceptance speech, Punk alluded to their being someone backstage he's got a grudge to resolve with. Punk said he will get even. Speculation is now running rampant as to who Punk is talking about. Remember that Punk put Evan Bourne on the shelf, and at one point he had been eyeing Evan Bourne and the US Title. Since then, he's been relegated to desk work, aka the commentator position. Any idea who Punk might be talking about?

With the conclusion of the Slammy Awards, we now will be heading towards the 2010 TLC Pay-Per-View on Sunday, with several new matches added including the Cena vs Barrett Chairs match, Sheamus vs Morrison #1 Contender Ladder match, and a Divas Table Match. Saturday will be the pre-recorded "Tribute to the Troops" Special airing on NBC, one night before the PPV. It will be interesting to see if Cena is wrestling on that show, or shows up as Santa Claus to surprise Nexus.

CM Punk won and ecstatically jumped up from his seat slapping hands with Cole. Punk made his acceptance speech about working hard and believing in yourself to make all your dreams come true. Punk said he did what he did to Mysterio because he wronged him. Punk said right now backstage there's another individual who has wronged him, and there will come a day when he gets even. Punk said if they think what he did to Mysterio is despicable they haven't seen anything yet.

Just then, Kofi Kingston arrived out as Punk was hoisting up his Slammy Trophy.

Daniel Bryan & Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler & Ted Dibiase

Bryan was accompanied out by both Bella Twins for this Raw/Smackdown tag match. Vickie Guerrero arrived out with IC champ Dolph Ziggler, while Maryse arrived out on Dibiase's arm.

Bryan had been dominated by the heels but finally broke away from them to make the hot tag to Kofi. Kofi came in against Ziggler, with multiple take downs and the boom boom leg drop. He began to rev the crowd up for Trouble in paradise. As Ziggler stood up, Kofi connected on it. He pinned Ziggler, with Dibiase getting back in the ring to try to make a save but he couldn't. The Bellas got in the ring to raise the arms of Bryan and Kofi. Maryse and Vickie showed disgust outside the ring.

Winners: Daniel Bryan & Kofi Kingston win via pinfall over Ziggler & Dibiase.

The WWE Tag champions Vladimir Kozlov and Santino Marella arrived out in street clothes to present the nominees for Guest Star Shining Moment of the Year: Mike Tyson, Pee Wee Herman, Wayne Brady and William Shatner. The winner of the award was Pee Wee Herman, but he wasn't there live to accept so they had pre-recorded video comments on the Titantron from Pee Wee.

They showed Wade Barrett backstage putting the Slammy Trophy up on a shelf in the locker room when the rest of Nexus walked in. Otunga asked what his decision is. Wade didn't say anything. Otunga said the fact Barrett walked out on his match against Show doesn't make his singles career look so promising. Barrett chuckled about it, then thanked Otunga saying he just made up his mind.

---

Mark Henry vs. Dashing Cody Rhodes

Cody took exception to Henry smushing him in the face, so he got him with a dropkick low to the legs. From there, Rhodes focused his attack on the grounded Henry.

Late in the match, Henry hip splashed into Rhodes in the corner. On the second charge, Rhodes moved out of the corner, then did his kick from off the ropes to Henry's head. He kicked Henry in the leg to ground him, then delivered a knee drop to the back of Henry's spine. Rhodes followed with a big pinfall for the victory.

Winner: Dashing Cody Rhodes wins via pinfall over Mark Henry.

---

Jerry "The King" Lawler and Vickie Guerrero arrived out to present nominees for the Slammy: "Holy $%(@%)@ Move of the Year." Lawler cracked a joke about being up all night due to his lizard's vet visit. Vickie asked what was wrong and Lawler joked "Reptile dysfunction." Vickie joked that Holy $(%)%)! was her reaction when Michael Cole cost Lawler the WWE Title. Lawler joked it's Ziggler's reaction whenever Vickie tries to model new lingerie, or when the waiter brings her a menu and she says "I'll take it."

Nominees for the "Holy $%@%)@ Move" award were Morrison off the stage scaffolding onto 2 men, Kofi Kingston off a ladder to crash down on a guy through a table, Cena hitting Attitude Adjustment with Batista up on the stage from a car roof, Evan Bourne going for Air Bourne but Orton getting him with the RKO mid-air. The winner was John Cena. Lawler said it's unfortunate Cena is fired and can't be there tonight, so they'll accept the award on his behalf.

Just then, Wade Barrett came out from backstage to interrupt. He took the Trophy from Lawler and said if Cena wants it he can come get it. Barrett headed to the ring saying the world is awaiting his decision on whether or not to re-hire Cena. In the ring, Wade said his decision was..he hesitated several times, drawing more heat and Cena chants from the fans. Wade finally said he won't make his decision unless Cena comes to the ring now to face him.

After several moments, John Cena appeared in the crowd. He made his way to the ring hugging fans and slapping their hands. He finally got into the ring with Barrett telling him to keep his distance. Barrett said he's had to think long and hard over the decision, because it affects him, Cena and The Nexus. The rest of Nexus arrived from backstage to circle the ring. Cena tore off his shirt and wristband to get ready for a fight. Barrett said Cena's officially re-hired, but on two conditions: 1)he agrees to face him Sunday at TLC in a Chair match and 2)he agrees to go one-on-one tonight against David Otunga.

Barrett then got out of the ring as the rest of Nexus went in and ganged up on Cena, beating him down. Barrett returned with a steel chair. As Cena started to get up, Barrett smashed a steel chair down on him multiple times. Nexus stood over Cena looking down at him, then left the ring.

---

When Raw returned they showed a replay of what just happened with Nexus and John Cena in the ring, ending with the chair bashing by Wade Barrett. Michael Cole reminded fans of the Slammy Winners so far tonight including Wade Barrett, CM Punk and Pee Wee Herman.

David Arquette was back again on stage, this time in a new white outfit and shades. Arquette pitched his new theater opening in Hollywood, CA which debuts on Valentine's Day 2011. Arquette presented nominees for WWE Universe Fan Reaction of the Year. Nominees were weird kid reacting to John Cena joining Nexus, loser crying when Shawn Michaels career ended at WM26, dumbstruck moron, angry demon girl reacting to Miz beating Orton to became WWE champion. The winner was angry Miz girl, Kailey. She was actually in attendance and arrived out with her dad.

She started making her softspoken acceptance speech, but was soon interrupted when The Miz arrived out with Alex Riley. Miz got down on one knee saying how beautiful Kailey looked, then asked to hold her Slammy Award. The girl gave him the look again before leaving backstage. Miz walked down to the ring with his WWE Title, as Riley hoisted up the Slammy. Arquette walked down there with them to ringside. Miz told people to tune into TLC on Sunday to see him put Orton through a table. Miz kept ranting until the lights flashed for an email from the Raw GM. The GM said both Miz and Orton will be in action tonight, facing former champions. Miz would face a former World Champ, right now...Rey Mysterio arrived out to the crowd cheers.

Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz

After a commercial break, Mysterio was in control of the match. He managed to get Miz against the ropes and was setting up for the 619, but all of a sudden Alberto Del Rio's music hit. Del Rio arrived out to cause a distraction from the ramp. Miz slipped out of the ring. Mysterio slid out over Miz and was about to go up the ramp, then turned to go back after Miz. Miz grabbed Mysterio and dropped him face first onto the apron to gain the upperhand in the match.

Later after Miz had some offense on Mysterio for a while, Rey tripped Miz into the ropes for another 619 attempt. Del Rio got up on the apron so Mysterio got in his face.

Raw Preview 12/12/10 - 2010 Slammy Awards

Tonight's Raw will feature the return of the Slammy Awards for 2010. The Slammy's are WWE's annual awards to honor the best wrestlers, divas, announcers and moments from the year past. In 2010, the top award will be 2010 Superstar of the Year. On last year's Raw, it was Chris Jericho who ended up winning the coveted Slammy Trophy. However, Jericho's out of the running this year. WWE currently lists a poll of nominees with Orton, Edge, John Cena, Kane, Rey Mysterio and The Miz all up for it. Which of these superstars will take home the trophy for 2010?

Last week's Raw saw the volatile situation involving recently-fired John Cena and Nexus leader Wade Barrett hit a boiling point. Barrett found his fellow Nexus members at odds with him, after Cena made attack after attack on them. Eventually, David Otunga demanded that Barrett re-hire Cena next week (tonight) or else they'd kick Barrett out as their leader. Wade was shocked by the ultimatum, but seems to have no other choice. Will the WWE Universe see the re-hiring of John Cena on tonight's 3-hour show?

Not only is tonight the Slammy Awards show for Raw, but it will be the final episode of Raw before the 2010 TLC Pay-Per-View. Already scheduled for the event will be the WWE Title rematch when Randy Orton faces The Miz in a Tables Match. Last week, The Miz informed Orton of what the stipulation for their match would be, and even tried to smash him face first through a table. Orton turned the tables on Miz so to speak and attempted to slam him through it. Miz was quick to escape the ring, but soon saw his protege Alex Riley suffer the fate of being Powerbombed through the table. What will go down next between The Miz and Orton on Raw?

Catch tonight's special 3-hour episode of Raw starting at 8PM EST on USA!

Raw Preview 12.14.09

Tonight's WWE Raw episode will not only be the follow-up to Sunday's exciting and controversial 2009 TLC Pay-Per-View, but it will be a special 3-hour show featuring the 2009 Slammy Awards. Award categories will include Superstar of the year, diva of the year and Match of the year. Guest host, Dennis Miller, from TV, movies and talk radio, will fill in to manage the awards event. Who will take home the top prizes from each award category? Will Chris Jericho repeat as Superstar of the Year? The Slammy's should feature plenty of winners, superstars and exciting matches as well!

In one of the biggest matches of the night, John Cena put his WWE title on the line in a Tables match against newcomer Sheamus. To win the match, all that needed to be done was to send your opponent through a table. In shocking fashion, Sheamus managed to shove John Cena off the ropes and crashing through a table to gain the huge victory. Shamus surprisingly won his first WWE Championship after coming to the WWE Raw show back in late October, making for a meteoric rise to superstardom. However, John Cena took a piece of the broken table with him from the ring as a souvenir. What will Cena have to say regarding the championship loss? Will he be granted his rematch on tonight's Raw, or be forced to wait until the next WWE PPV?

And finally, D-Generation X did battle with Chris Jericho & Big Show in a Tables, ladders & chairs match for the Unified Tag team titles. The match featured all sorts of mayhem, with bodies being put on the line as all four men attempted to climb the ladder and retrieve the belt hanging up above the ring. In the closing moments, JeriShow attempted to work together as a team with Big Show putting Jericho on his shoulders, right after they had smashed DX inside a ladder using a steel chair. DX was not defeated even with a broken ladder, as they managed to knock Jericho out of the ring onto a table, and took out Big Show. From there, Triple H steadied a broken ladder for his partner Shawn Michaels to climb up and retrieve the belt. Now DX is celebrating their first ever tag team championship reign. What will be in store next for DX? Will a rematch be booked on Raw? Will this finally stop Chris Jericho from showing up on Raw to make insulting remarks to the WWE Universe?

Tune in to WWE Raw's 3 hour Slammy Awards show tonight at a special start time of 8PM EST on USA!

The match was off to a fast and furious start, with high flying kicks, spin moves, counters and finally Kofi isolating Mysterio down on the mat to work on his hurt wrist. Mysterio managed to stand up with Kofi still straining his wrist. Kofi yanked him back to the mat to continue wearing him down. Kingston had a near pin with a rollup but Mysterio escaped. With Rey in the corner, Kofi ran and delivered a Tomahawk chop on him. Rey staggered out holding the ropes, and Kofi whipped him to the other corner. Kofi tried to jump at Rey in the corner, but Rey moved. Kingston tried to jump off the corner, but Mysterio avoided it again causing Kofi to fall onto the mat. Rey ran over and flipped onto Kofi, pulling him into a quick surprise pinfall to win.

Afterwards, Rey offered a handshake to Kofi for a match well fought. Kofi reciprocated before leaving the ring.

Winner: Rey Mysterio wins via pinfall to advance to the Finals of the Intercontinental Championship Tournament Sunday at Armageddon.

Cole and Lawler said now for the first time ever Mysterio and Punk will face off at Armageddon Sunday. Two former World Champs vying for the #1 Contender spot at Regal's IC Title.

During the Mysterio-Kingston match, Michael Cole announced Slammy Awards given on WWE.com including Breakout Performer of the Year: Vladimir Kozlov. R-Truth was given Best Musical Performance of the Year. Best Impersonation was the Glamahaas, Best WWE Original Publication was The Dirt Sheet.

Batista & Triple H vs. Cody Rhodes, Manu & Randy Orton
2 on 3 Handicap Match

Early in the match, Triple H and Batista were able to knock Rhodes and Manu to the outside. As both men looked out, Orton tried to sneak behind them for a possible RKO. They turned and Orton dropped to roll out of the ring as Raw went to break.

Raw returned with Orton stomping on Triple H down on the mat. Rhodes and Manu each took a turn tagging in to work on wearing down The Game. Orton barked instructions to Rhodes to squeeze a headlock on HHH down on the mat. Triple H seemed to wear down briefly, then got to his feet, but Rhodes shoved him to the corner and tagged Orton in. Orton tried to wear HHH down with another headlock, but this time HHH got to his feet and used a backdrop to slam Orton back. HHH crawled over for a tag, but Orton tagged Rhodes in. Rhodes ran over to attack, with HHH eventually shoving him off a bulldog attempt. The two men crwaled to their partners, with Manu and Batista tagging in.

The Animal rushed in to clothesline Manu then knock Orton off the apron. Batista delivered a Spinebuster on Manu, then went for the Batista Bomb. Rhodes tried to jump off the corner at Biatsta, but he shoved Manu into his path. Both men crashed to the mat, then went to opposite corners where Batista clotheslined each. Orton snuck in to try to RKO Batista.

The match ended with Batista about to Batista Bomb Orton. Manu and HHH were on the outside and Rhodes snuck in to hit Batista from behind as he had Orton up in the air for the Bomb. Orton landed on his feet and quickly hit the RKO to win the match.

Winners: Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes & Manu win via pinfall over Batista & Triple H.

Raw Rewind showed last weeks Cena vs. Kane match, where Jericho ran down to interrupt and attack Cena. Team Priceless led by Orton came out to help, with Orton DDT'ing Cena off the top ramp, then Jericho putting the Walls of Jericho onto Cena on the pavement.

Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler ran down tonight's Slammy winners so far. Just then, R-Truth burst out in the crowd rapping "Whats Up" as he made his way down to the ring.

R-Truth vs. Dolph Ziggler

Both men had impressive moves early, with Truth able to jump over Ziggler out of the corner then land a spin kick to his head. Ziggler was able to dump Truth onto and over the top ropes at one point, then took control in the ring, using a headlock to wear down Truth. Truth eventually got to his feet and elbowed his way out, but Ziggler kneed him in the gut. Ziggler tried to whip Truth to the turnbuckle, but Truth countered to whip Ziggler instead. Truth clotheslined Ziggler over the top rope, then shot himself over the top rope onto Ziggler outside. The two men started to fight it out, trading punches while the ref kept counting them out. Truth got the upperhand and got onto the apron at 8, but Ziggler jumped up and hit a spin kick to knock Truth off. Ziggler rolled into the ring just before 10 to beat the count for his first victory.

Winner: Dolph Ziggler wins due to countout of R-Truth.

Stephanie McMahon presented the 2008 Superstar of the Year Slammy. Nominees were Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho, Batista, Edge, Triple H & John Cena. The award went to Chris Jericho who came out looking around to make sure Cena wasn't present. Jericho began to walk down the ramp away from the podium and got into the ring. Jericho began to berate the fans once again, saying they are biased and incapable of deciding the Superstar of the Year award. Jericho said he will be World Heavyweight Champ 3 times this year, after he beats Cena at Armageddon Sunday. Jericho vowed to close out 2008 as the champion yet again.

Just then, Cena's theme music came on and Cena came rushing to the ring. Jericho looked ready to fight then took off through the crowd. Cena went to go after him, but just then Edge's music came on and the Rated-R Superstar made his way down to the ring.

John Cena vs. Edge

Edge started off hammering away at Cena, but Cena quickly sent him to the ropes to clothesline him down. Cena followed up with a bulldog and then clotheslined Edge out over the ropes. Cena was riled up as he went to the outside and Raw took a break.

Raw returned with Edge in control, wearing Cena down with a neck hold. Edge continued with the momentum on Cena, punching away at him in the ring corner. Edge was able to bring Cena down to the mat again for another neck hold. Cena finally stood up and escaped it, then began to trade punches with Edge in the center of the ring. Cena started to gain momentum but Edge soon countered to get back his. Edge prepared for a Spear as Cena got to his feet across the ring. Cena ran at Edge to throw a shoulder into him, then gained momentum yet again. Cena hit the Five Knuckle Shuffle then went for the FU. Edge escaped the FU three times, with Cena countering Edge's attacks. Finally, Cena tripped Edge down and got him into the STFU. Edge struggled not to tap out.

All of a sudden, Chris Jericho rushed back down towards the ring. Cena broke the STFU and ran out to go after him. The two started to fight it out into the crowd. As Edge remained in the ring, Triple H rushed down and got into tackle Edge down and beat on him. Jeff Hardy rushed down next and launched himself into Triple H and Edge in the corner. Hardy speared Edge down and started punching away, but Triple H was back up and kicked Hardy in the head. HHH threw Hardy out of the ring and attacked Edge until he went to the outside. As Edge tried to get up near the crowd barrier, Jeff Hardy ran over and jumped off the steel steps to kick Edge down. Triple H continued staring out from inside the ring at Hardy as he headed up the ramp.

Winner: No winner due to Chris Jericho's interference. Referee called for the match to end when Cena left to attack Jericho outside the ring.

2008 Slammy Awards Preview

On next Monday's Raw the Slammy Awards make their return on a special 3 hour show. The "Slammy Awards" was a WWE concept where awards, similar to the Oscars and Grammy Awards were given to its superstars. The first Slammy Awards show was over 20 years ago, back in 1986. During that show winners included: Roddy Piper, Nikolai Volkoff and the Junkyard Dog. The Slammy's were done again in 1987, then took about 10 years off. The last "Slammy" Awards were handed out back in 1997. Winners then included Rocky Maivia for "New Sensation", Shawn Michaels' Sweet Chin Music for "Best Finisher", and Sable for "Miss Slammy".

The categories in 2008 will include: Superstar of the Year, Match of the Year, OMG Moment of the Year, Diva of the Year, "DAMN" Moment of the Year, Tag Team of the Year, Best Musical Performance, Best Finishing Maneuver, Extreme Moment of the Year, Couple of the Year, Breakout Star of the Year, Announcer of the Year, Best WWE.com Exclusive and Best Impersonation.

Here's some thoughts on who might take home the much-coveted Slammy awards in 2008...

Superstar of the year - The nominees were recently announced on Raw as Jeff Hardy, Batista, Edge, Chris Jericho, Triple H & John Cena. It's hard to see Hardy winning this due to his real life problems and the suspension that kept him out of WM24. Cena shouldn't win either, as he's only held the title for a few weeks. Cena had been injured and out of the title picture for most of 2008. That leaves Triple H, Jericho and Edge. Triple H wore the WWE belt for quite some time and Edge held onto the World Heavyweight for a great deal of time. One of these two should take the award, unless WWE is really looking to push Cena onto a Hulk Hogan level. Then again, these are just Slammy Awards..

One thing to definitely look forward to is the matches between these stars. John Cena battles Edge in a familiar match, while Jeff Hardy battles Chris Jericho. The Triple H vs. Batista could be a classic, but most likely won't see a clean finish thanks to Randy Orton.

Match of the Year may be the Edge vs. Undertaker Hell in a Cell, Michaels vs. Jericho Last Man Standing on Raw, or Matt Hardy vs. Finlay ECW title match, but the WWE could go many ways here. Most matches Edge, Chris Jericho, or Shawn Michaels were a part of could qualify. Don't count out a Jeff Hardy vs. Triple H match either. We should get to see most of these on the year end review shows of Raw, ECW & Smackdown.

Diva of the year will likely go to Beth Phoenix or Michelle McCool. Each of these WWE divas has represented her brand well this past year and is the current title holder there. It's hard to see any of the other divas taking this one.

Extreme Moment of the Year seems to favor Jeff Hardy's Swanton off the scaffolding onto Randy Orton on Monday Night Raw. Out of all the incidents on all of the shows, this one screams "Extreme" more some than any other.

Tag team of the year: Right now The Miz & Morrison seem to be on a hot streak. They wore the tag titles, and with Cade & Murdoch out of WWE it's unlikely they'd give them a Slammy Award. WWE gives Miz & Morrison this award to continue their promotion.

Finishing Move of the Year: Evan Bourne's Moonsault off the corner turnbuckle is definitely a thing of beauty. The nod may go to more powerful superstars such as Triple H with the Pedigree, Cena with the FU, or Batista with the Batista Bomb. Jericho's Code Breaker is worthy as well. In 1987, Bret Hart won the award for his Sharpshooter, so possibly Cena's STFU takes it here.

Couple of the year seems like a no brainer right now with Santino and Beth Phoenix. However, you'd have to consider Edge & Vickie Guerrero also top candidates in this category.

Breakout star of the year: ECW has quite a few of these, with Jack Swagger and Evan Bourne both doing well on the show. Ricky Ortiz is another. William Regal's winning King of the Ring as well as IC title may make him a breakout star, but he's a veteran wrestler who's been known to breakout from time to time. Jack Swagger likely takes this award following his impressive win over Ricky Ortiz to stay undefeated and become a #1 Contender on ECW.

Announcer of the year, most likely Lillian Garcia, with Justin Roberts coming in a close second. If they're referring to commentary, it could be ECW's Matt Striker.

Best Musical Performance - We can only hope this includes real musical acts and not Jillian's screeching in the ring. If it is for superstars, Santino's recent rap on Raw may take the prize.

Best Impersonation This category seems to favor Charlie Haas who put in a lot of different gigs impersonating everyone from Cena to Hogan to Jim Ross to Bret Hart. How will he not win this one? The only other superstar who really does impersonations is Santino Marella.

As for OMG & DAMN moments those are anybody's guess with all that's gone down in the WWE this past year! Will the DAMN moments only be situations where Ron Simmons exclaimed "DAMN!" at their conclusion? Should be interesting this year as the Slammy's return. Make sure to grab your popcorn and drinks, when this year's Slammy Awards air Monday December 8th at 8PM EST on USA.
