The 2021 Year End Awards – Pick Your Nominations

It’s that time of the year again for the Year End Awards. Another year of wrestling is coming to an end and 2021 had a lot of new faces and a lot of historic moments from familiar faces.

As always, the Year End Awards will be a team effort between Diva Dirt and Ring the Belle but it is you the readers/viewers who will nominate AND vote for your winners in each category.

This article is to set up the nominees. Below you will see the categories from this year. If you would like to participate, use the comment section below to pick who you feel should be nominated in each category.

Once the nomination process closes, we will pick the top 5 (or 6) that received the most nominations per category. The voting process will then take place in a new article. Ring the Belle will have a video to coincide with the nominees. The voting will take place at some point next week.

Be aware of the name of some of the categories before making your nominations. A few categories now are labeled Non-WWE in order to make sure that those outside WWE are awarded for their talent. WWE also includes those in NXT and NXT UK.

Happy nominating!
