3) NXT Male Competitor of the Year Award
The Official Nominees From WWE:
- Tommaso Ciampa
- Johnny Gargano
- Velveteen Dream
- Adam Cole
- WALTER
- Tyler Bate
Our Winner: Adam Cole
The best male Superstar of 2019 in NXT was Adam Cole. He spent a large chunk of the year as NXT Champion and put on several classic matches during the year.
Cole was also involved in the main event of NXT for the majority of the year. I don’t think that anyone had a better year than him. Johnny Gargano was close but he was injured for the last few months of the year and that hurt him.

- Io Shirai
- Shayna Baszler

Our Winner: Adam Cole
The overall competitor of the year award goes to Adam Cole in my books. What really cemented this award was his Survivor Series week. Cole wrestled a ladder match on NXT, a 6-man tag team match on Smackdown and took part in the WarGames match at Takeover. The next night, he put on arguably the best match of the night against Pete Dunne at Survivor Series. This was all in the span of less than a week.
Cole is NXT’s MVP for the year and he deserves this award.
