Believe it or not, we have reached the point in the year to do some wrap ups, remember the best moments of women’s wrestling throughout 2025, and it is time for the Year End Fan Awards.
Diva Dirt is working again with Ring the Belle this year as a mutual collaboration to pass on the power to you our readers/viewers. The year end fan awards have been a yearly tradition dating back over a decade. It allows you to not only vote, but also nominate who in which category should be a voting option.
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 in the following weeks.
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!
