WWE NXT 2017 Year-End Award winners

For the third-straight year, NXT is recognizing members of their roster for great performances turned in over the previous 365 days (more or less), and asking fans to predict a few things about the next 365. And, for the second straight time, the Year-End Awards were decided by hashtag vote on Twitter and announced on the Pre-Show of the TakeOver before Royal Rumble.
