11) 2018 Return Of The Year Award
– Our Winner: Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan was cleared to return to the ring back in March of 2018. This was a major moment for fans since it was expected that Bryan would never wrestle in WWE again.
Bryan’s return was pretty emotional for many. To see a guy work hard to get cleared and get to live his dreams again was awesome to see. He has put on some great matches this year, including Match of the Year candidates against Brock Lesnar and AJ Styles.
This came down to Daniel Bryan and Shawn Michaels. Since Shawn’s return came at the controversial Crown Jewel event, I am going with Bryan here.
10) 2018 Tag Team Of The Year Award
– Our Winner: The Usos
I will be honest with you, it wasn’t a standout year for any tag team on the WWE main roster. This isn’t the fault of the tag teams on RAW and Smackdown, it just feels like WWE neglected them this year.
My winners are the Usos, but you could probably give this award to a handful of other teams like the New Day and the Bar.
It wasn’t a standout year for any team. Hopefully in 2019 WWE injects some life into their tag team divisions.
9) 2018 Breakout Star Of The Year
– Our Winner: Becky Lynch
Becky Lynch is my pick for the breakout star of the year in 2018. I can’t think of anybody whose stock has risen as much as Becky over the past calendar year.
Becky went from being an underutilized Superstar on the roster to being one of the top stars in all of WWE. There are a lot of fans who want Becky to be in the main event Wrestlemania 35. Considering that she was only involved in the Women’s battle royal at Wrestlemania 34, this would be quite the leap in only one year.
Becky is my pick for the breakout star of the year in WWE.
