For the first time in Slammy history, a group wins the Rookie of the Year award! I don't think I've even seen one nominated before. Were the Wyatts also nominated, BTW?
Oh, if only the award was given out in 2010. The Nexus would've won that pretty easily.
The nominees would have probably looked like this: Nexus, Bryan, Del Rio, Usos. Or Barrett, Bryan, Del Rio, Otunga is WWE weren't willing to nominate the entirety of a stable.

So, the nominees for Rookie of the year were: A stable who debuted in November, a superstar who debuted in December, two repackaged NXT guys, and a stable led by a third repackaged NXT guy.
I guarantee you that if this award was handed out in 2010, Nexus (as a whole) would've won.

True but at least Bray and Fandango are new personas. No connection to their former selves. Axel/McGillicutty has always simply been "the son of Mr. Perfect". Since day one. Dude just changed his name.

So what I get out of this is:
The Slammies ruined the Tensai gimmick.
