Rookie Of The Year:
BA: I do feel that of all of the rookies that have been brought forth, especially on the WWE platform, that Nia Jax is an excellent choice. Let’s make the Cruiserweight Division the runners up.
Tag Team Of The Year:
BA: The former W-W-E Tag Team Champions of the world… The New Day. They brought so much to the table this year. I have relatives who don’t even watch and enjoy pro wrestling and sports entertainment. I show them The New Day on Youtube and they wanted to go see them. They did so much. Very entertaining and terrific in the ring. All three of them really grew this year. In second place, in my book, it’s fairly recent but Sheamus and Cesaro have made a fantastic team. They really have. I’m going with them as my runners up.
Who To Watch In 2017:
BA: My vote for that one is Braun Strowman first and then the entire Cruiserweight Division and the Women’s Division. There is so much there. Also, the British Division! Now that they’ve got a UK Title that’s one to watch.
