The Slammy Awards
Country United States
Presented by IWE
Academy of Wrestling Arts and
Sciences (kayfabe)
First awarded March 1, 1986; 38 years ago

The Slammy Awards, also known as the Slammys, is a concept used by IWE, where awards, similar to the Academy and Grammy Awards, are given to professional wrestlers and other individuals within IWE, such as commentators and managers. Introduced in 1986, there have been 13 editions of the concept. The awards are a mixture of "serious" and "tongue-in-cheek". Winners of the award receive a statuette that depicts one wrestler holding another over his head.

The awards were discontinued after 2015. The same year, the NXT brand debuted its own exclusive awards, the NXT Year-End Awards (also rewarding the NXT UK brand since 2019), with wrestlers from Raw and SmackDown being instead rewarded by the IWE Year-End Award in 2018 and 2019.

In 2020, it was announced that IWE would be reviving the Slammy Awards for their Raw and SmackDown brands, with the winners announced live on the IWE Network. The ceremony aired on December 23, 2020.

Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker hold the record for the most Slammy Awards won by a IWE superstar at fifteen each.
