The 2020 WWE Slammy Awards took place on Wednesday morning, as 18 awards were passed out for accomplishments made by WWE stars over the past year. Some of the awards were determined by fan voting, while others were selected by WWE itself. Despite returning at SummerSlam, introducing a heel persona fans had been begging to see for years, winning the Universal Championship and putting on two Match of the Year contenders, Roman Reigns didn't receive a single award despite being nominated five times.
"The Tribal Chief" took notice of the snub, and had the perfect response on Twitter — "When you're are the highest paid/most decorated Superstar in the business. You don't need participation awards."
