The WWE Year-End Awards is a concept used by WWE, where awards, similar to the Academy and Grammy Awards, are given to professional wrestlers at the end of the year who have performed on Raw and SmackDown. Introduced in 2018, there have been two editions of the concept. In the first edition, the winners were voted by fans, while for the second, WWE picked the winner themselves. Previously, wrestlers from Raw and SmackDown had been rewarded Slammy Awards between 1986 and 2015.{{cite web |last=Graser|first=Marc|url=https://variety.com/2008/biz/awards/wwe-brings-back-slammys-1117996995/ |title=WWE brings back Slammys|work=Variety |access-date=December 8, 2008 |date=December 7, 2008}}
