Best Male Wrestler - Johnny Gargano (Was active the entire year and always has excellent matches. And his heel work has great.)

Best Female Wrestle - Io Shirai (Pretty simple. In a stacked division, everyone had their best matches opposite Io.)

Best Tag Team - BroserWeights (By default really.)

Best Takeover Match - Undisputed Era vs. Imperium - Worlds Collide (Technically not a Takeover, but still, the best match on a network special this year.)

Best TV Match - Ilja Dragunov vs. WALTER (Best match of the year.)

Best Segment - Blackpool II Title Match Negotiations (Best contract ‘signing’ I’ve ever seen. These were negotiations, not simply signing a contract. Both sides wanted things, some that could not be easily given. It not only set up the Takeover main event, but also the next several weekly main events. I may not like one person involved, but it was still a great segment.)

MAMMA MIA Moment - Bronson Reed splash off a ladder with Candice on his back.

Future Star (who will breakout in 2021) - Kushida

Best Enhancement Talent - EverRise (Rules!)

Who you think will be signed to NXT from the Indies next year - Are there Indies anymore?

Who will be called up to main roster next year - Rhea Ripley

Who would you like to see move to NXT from Raw/SD - Drew Gulak (Fight Pit)

Worst Male Wrestler - Joe Coffey (Will remain so as long as he is employed.)

Worst Female Wrestler - Toni Storm (Yeah, maybe someone like Aliyah is technically worse, but at least I see Aliyah improving. Toni has had okay (at best) matches and her acting in her last UK run was just horrible.)

Worst Tag Team - Gallus (Always Gallus)

Worst on the mic - Tie: Ember Moon & Toni Storm (They both cannot talk, but at least Ember is fantastic in the ring.)

Worst Match - Adam Cole vs. Velveteen Dream - Takeover: In Your House (Not a single thing good can be said about this ‘match’.)

Worst call up to main roster - Keith Lee (I have no love for Keith. I don’t care about the main roster of it. But this was a rushed call-up that cut short his title reign, and messed up the main event NXT scene for a bit.)

Worst ring-gear - Nothing pops out as being blatantly bad, so I’ll just say Gallus so they get associated with the word worst some more.

Worst segment - Undisputed Era in therapy (Crap segments coming out of the worst match of the year, for one of the worst feuds of the year to lead to the second worse match of the year (Strong/Lumis Strap Match).)
