Popular superstar reacts to being snubbed by WWE awards

A top WWE Superstar was baffled after being snubbed from the 2024 Slammy Awards.

WWE brought back the Slammy Awards at WrestleMania XL, with the ceremony being hosted by Cathy Kelley and Big E. However, Ricochet was not thrilled about being snubbed from the nominations for one of the Slammy Awards categories.

In a post on his official X account, The Highlight of the Night was upset that he and Logan Paul were not nominated for OMG Moment of the Year. The rivals had an insane spot at the 2023 Royal Rumble, which led to their one-on-one match at SummerSlam.

"Pretty crazy me and Logan Paul didn't even make the list for contender for OMG moment of the year. But I understand that it's become normal for Ricochet to give you OMG moments," Ricochet wrote.

CM Punk won the Slammy Award for OMG Moment of the Year for his shocking return at Survivor Series: WarGames.

Other nominees include Rey Mysterio finally punching Dominik Mysterio, Iyo Sky cashing in her Money in the Bank contract at SummerSlam, Damage CTRL turning on Bayley, The Rock slapping Cody Rhodes at the WrestleMania XL press conference last month, and Rhodes returning the favor by slapping The Final Boss on WWE SmackDown.
