By @B_Rock1978

Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, brought to you by Triple Threat CLE, is back with the RAW edition.

- This week's RAW was live in Minneapolis, Minnesota and was being advertised for not only just wrestling, but also as their Slammy Awards Show. If you're new to the Slammy Awards Show, I'll explain it to you. The Slammy Awards is basically WWE's version of the Grammys or the Oscars. WWE rewards their superstars with trophies for being voted the best in whatever category they're nominated in. Usually categories range from Best Wrestler of the Year, Best Match of the Year, OMG Moment of the Year and a bunch of other categories to fill up the three hour show. WWE also announced Slammy winners throughout the whole day and also during the RAW Pre-Show. So lets get to the recap and see just who walked out with a Slammy this year.
