The Slammys: The Fans Choice Awards will celebrate the very best of WWE over the past year as voted for by the WWE Universe.

A second ceremony was held in 1987 before the awards were brought back in 1994, running until 1997.
The Slammys were once again resurrected in 2008, this time taking place on a special edition of Raw. This format lasted until 2015 when the awards were once again retired.
In 2020 the Slammy Awards were held on WWE's digital and social media platforms, with Drew McIntyre being awarded Superstar of the Year.
WrestleMania XL takes place on April 6 and 7 from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Night One of the 40th-anniversary WrestleMania will be main evented by the returning Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who will team with Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
