With the biggest point differential between first and second place of any category on this list, it was clear that this year was the year of the USO PENITENTIARY. They definitely had this award on lock since day one-ish.

In all honesty, it was clear that this was not going to be a fantastic category this year until Smackdown kicked it up a notch in the late year. With the Hardyz being unfortunately torpedoed and the Revival out of commission all year, RAW lost some of its top contenders right away. Furthermore, the Shield return did little to ingratiate itself with some of Board 8 - enough that the Shield received no votes whatsoever. It was clear that the Bar were going to be the natural favorites in the RAW side, but they had nothing like the year the Usos had.

From pre-show matches that stole entire shows to that fantastically brutal Hell in a Cell match, the Usos really stuck the landing on a great year.

Even the Young Bucks couldn't score all that highly (although admittedly, they were far more active out of the ring than in it). NXT's biggest tag teams were all over the place this year - one of them exploded like the mega powers and another didn't make much of a splash until later in the year. Ultimately, this was the Usos category to lose at the end of the day.
