The NXT Year-End Awards is a concept used by WWE, where awards, similar to the Academy, Grammy, and WWE's own Slammy Awards, are given to professional wrestlers who have competed in NXT in the previous year. There have been three editions of the concept. Fans cast votes online to decide the winners; initially through WWE's website in 2015, but voting has shifted to Twitter in the years since. Winners of the award receive a golden ring bell with a hammer.[1]
