Big E and Cathy Kelley will host the awards show on Sun. April 7 in Philadelphia.
WWE introduced The Slammys in 1986. A mix of serious and playful awards, it was their version of The Oscars or (more appropriately for the Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Era it started in) The Grammys.
The concept has been used on and off in the decades since. It was fixture of WWE programming from 2008-2015, then went away again for a while before being brought back in 2020. No Slammys have been handed out since an online ceremony in December of that year… until now!
It was announced today that they’ll return in 2024, on a stage near The Grandest Stage of Them All. Big E and Cathy Kelley will host The Slammys: The Fans Choice Awards at WWE World at WrestleMania (the fan event the former Axxess has grown into) on Sun., April 7 before night two of WrestleMania XL.
Fan voting has been an element of The Slammy since 2009, and s the new subtitle confirms, that will still be the case with this return. Per WWE, voting “opens soon” and run through next Weds., Mar. 27.
Here’s the full press release with more details:
