WWE News: Latest Update On WWE Superstars Appearing On ‘WWE Raw’s’ Slammy Awards

The Slammy Awards are tonight in the WWE, but there’s a certain lack of hype that’s occurring for a show that used to bring a lot of hype to it. When the Slammys originally began, it wasn’t on an episode of WWE Raw. It was its own separate event that was treated like a gala event or ball. Now, the WWE turned it into a gimmick show instead of what it was intended. The winner of each Slammy will be announced by the WWE throughout the day today.

It’s their job to try and get the WWE Universe involved via social media, but the Slammy Awards aren’t as important right now.

According to Wrestlezone.com and PWInsider.com, here’s the latest list of WWE superstars who could show up tonight at the Slammy Awards.

“Ric Flair, Paul Heyman and Santino Marella are scheduled to appear on tonight’s Slammy Awards edition of WWE Raw. According to PWInsider.com, injured WWE stars King Barrett and Stardust are also backstage in Minneapolis for tonight’s Raw.”

Those aren’t even the big names that are being advertised. According to WrestlingInc.com, a former-WWE World Heavyweight champion is being advertised for the Slammy Awards.

“For what it’s worth, Seth Rollins is being advertised for Monday’s WWE Slammy Awards RAW from Minneapolis, Minnesota.”

Having Seth Rollins show up at the Slammy Awards is a mistake. However, he still may. Like John Cena and Edge before him, the WWE has a rare opportunity to capitalize on a gigantic return with a huge babyface pop. If the WWE didn’t say anything about his return, status, or progress, then have Rollins come back without any announcement, the venue would explode with excitement.

Much like Shawn Michaels’ storyline with the Undertaker, a major feud can begin at the Slammy Awards. WWE officials hold this event once per year, so it should be treated as special. Rollins and Lesnar potentially showing up can bring a lot of hype to a WWE event that needs more hype.
