After booking a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match (and title change) in the main event last week, WWE decided to up the ante on Raw this week by having Sheamus fight in a steel cage against Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose. Thats right, a week after the Celtic Warrior lost his world title to Roman Reigns, Sheamus seemingly ignored Roman and turned his attention to his little buddy, Ambrose. Sheamus also joined his League of Nations cohorts to beat up random wrestlers before again focusing on part of Romans backup. Still, nary a word about wanting his world championship back. Meanwhile, the overarching theme of the night was the Slammy Awards, an annual tradition that is hit or miss most years, and this year was no exception. The awards included several questionable winners and only one legitimately memorable moment, when former champion Seth Rollins hobbled out to receive his Superstar of the Year Slammy. But an awards show to recognize top moments of 2015 with no John Cena, Randy Orton, Sting, Undertaker, Brock Lesnar (in his hometown, no less!) or The Rock meant little in the way of star-power and several accept this award on _______s behalf. Lame. So with that in mind, what took home the statuette, and what was runner-up? Lets get to it
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
