NXT End of the Year Awards results
The NXT Year-End Awards were announced and handed out Saturday night during the Kickoff Show at Takeover: San Antonio. The awards up for grabs were Breakout Star of the Year, Tag Team of the Year, Match of the Year, Female Competitor of the Year, Male Competitor of the Year, and Overall Competitor of the Year.
Breakout Star of the Year: Billie Kay and Peyton Royce
These two besties beat out some big names while winning the award for Breakout Stars in NXT. SAniTY, No Way Jose, Ember Moon, and Andrade “Cien” Almas were the other nominees for the award and all were arguably equally deserving.
However, it was the duo from Down Under who walked away with the award Saturday night. They then proceeded to put on a heck of a show, even in defeat, during their Fatal 4 Way match with Asuka and Nikki Cross later that night.
2017 started off in a big way for Royce and Kay, who are best friends on and off screen, and we expect nothing different moving forward from the Aussies.
