This evening, WWE NXT presented their anticipated year-end honors, but the WWE NXT Male Superstar Award decision has set off heated debates online. Je’Von Evans claimed the top male superstar prize, despite not clinching a championship all year, and wrestling fans quickly voiced their disbelief and frustration across social media platforms.
Je’Von Evans Claims Award Over Notable Champions
The Male Superstar of the Year category included nominees Je’Von Evans, Ricky Saints, Trick Williams, Ethan Page, and Oba Femi. Fans immediately noticed that of the finalists, Evans was the only contender who did not secure a title during the year. Oba Femi, whose name became the center of controversy, has held championship gold for nearly ten months, yet was overlooked for the honor.
Social Media Questions the Selection
Outpourings of disbelief and critical opinions on the WWE NXT Male Superstar Award appeared soon after the announcement. Numerous fans called out what they saw as a surprising and unfounded result. One particularly vocal sentiment was captured in the words:
“How’d he get it over Oba? Obas been champ for like 10 months and Jevon hasn’t been able to beat him.”— Elias Fan ELIAS WAS AT CENAS LAST MATCH (@EliassFan)
Another echoed the question regarding Evans’ record this year:
“Lmao what? How did he win? He didn’t win anything this year”— Vladimir (@VladimirWWE96)
The passionate responses extended to the other nominees, with some explicitly claiming that another superstar was more deserving:
“trick williams deserves it”— Remia (@remiaxyz)
As reactions flooded in, others suggested that Oba Femi was unfairly overlooked:
