2024 is coming to a close quickly so you know what that means – Year End Fan Awards!
Another year in wrestling is wrapping up and it is time to reminisce about the calendar year of women’s wrestling as we look forward to 2025!
As always, the Year End Fan Awards will be a team effort between Diva Dirt and Ring the Belle, but you, the readers/viewers, will nominate AND vote for your winners in each category.
This article is to set up the nominees. Below you will see the categories for this year. If you would like to participate, use the comment section below to pick who you feel should be nominated in each category.
Once the nomination process closes, we will pick at least the top 5 or 6 to vote on per category. The voting process will then take place in a new article next week and Ring the Belle will have a video to coincide with the nominees.
Please note, in the final nomination list, we will include diverse promotions out of the choices that’s provided by the readers/viewers in order to be inclusive. So even though we understand that WWE is the bigger promotion, try to branch out here folks!
