John Cena def. Randy Orton to win WWE Superstar of the Year (PHOTOS | WATCH) Only 24 hours since the sting of relinquishing his WWE Championship to Sheamus at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, John Cena seemed determined to ease the pain by claiming the Slammy Award for WWE Superstar of the Year.

As Cena caught his breath, new WWE Champion Sheamus stared him down from outside the ring.

Michael Cole vomiting on Chris Jericho at SmackDowns 10th Anniversary won the Slammy Award for Oh My Moment of the Year (WATCH) Usually, accolades arent bestowed upon anyone for tossing their cookies. Well, the Slammy Awards are anything but usual. To prove that point, Michael Cole vomiting on Chris Jericho at SmackDowns 10th Anniversary took home the Slammy Award for Oh My Moment of the Year.

John Morrison, Mark Henry & Yoshi Tatsu def. United States Champion The Miz, Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre & Zack Ryder (PHOTOS | WATCH) Drew McIntyres eye-gouging the night before at WWE: TLC looked about as appealing as a dish of haggis. That didnt stop the Scottish sensation, however, from capturing the Intercontinental Championship from John Morrison. One day later, McIntyre joined United States Champion The Miz & Zack Ryder against Morrison, Mark Henry & Yoshi Tatsu. While the championships were on one side, determination tipped the balance as Tatsu leveled Ryder for the victory.
Jeff Hardy at SummerSlam won the Slammy Award for Most Extreme Moment of the Year (WATCH) It didnt seem real at the time. How could it possibly be? Jeff Hardy stood poised atop a 20-foot ladder, his arms spread wide as an arena full of WWE faithful held their collective breath. Then it happened. He leaped from his precarious perch, tumbled through the air and nailed CM Punk with a brutal Swanton Bomb at SummerSlam. Result: Hardys moment captured the Slammy Award for Most Extreme Moment of the Year.
Accepting on his brother's behalf was Matt Hardy. Presenter Carlito interrupted the moment by punching Matt, but then got his comeuppance. Chris Masters snapped on The Masterlock and Matt returned the punch.
Chris Jericho & Big Show def. Unified Tag Team Champions DX by disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH) Brawn, brains and a wicked sense of humor. You have to hand it to DX, the new Unified Tag Team Champions come prepared. After capturing the Unified Tag Team Titles last night, Triple H & Shawn Michaels probably expected Jeri-Show to enact their rematch clause. As a result, The Game appeared to purposefully shove the referee causing DX to lose by disqualification.
Since championships cannot change hands due to disqualification, DX retained. But that was only the beginning of Chris Jerichos troubles. The self-important Superstar soon realized that DXs actions meant that he no longer had reason to be on Raw. As a result, the Unified Tag Team Champions called some fellow Superstars to escort Jericho out of the arena. So long, Captain Vocabulary!
Bob Barker won the Slammy Award for Raw Guest Host of the Year (WATCH) Bob Barker, come on down, youre the winner of the Slammy Award for Raw Guest Host of the Year! The venerable game show host and animal advocate proved that he could match wits and muscle with more than a few Superstars when he hosted Raw, which earned him a coveted golden Slammy statuette.
Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker won the Slammy Award for Match of the Year; Randy Orton def. The Deadman (PHOTOS | WATCH | WATCH MATCH) For the second year running, Shawn Michaels has taken home one of the highest honors in WWE, the Slammy Award for Match of the Year. While HBK earned last years Slammy for his legendary victory over Ric Flair at WrestleMania XXIV, this year, Michaels repeats for the much ballyhooed bout he lost at The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania to The Undertaker. During his acceptance speech, HBK even went so far as to challenge The Phenom to a match at WrestleMania "one more time."
The Deadman may have claimed victory over Michaels in April, but tonight he faced a much more sinister foe, Randy Orton. The Viper utilized his Legacy henchmen, Cody Rhodes & Randy Orton, to lure Undertaker from the ring. Once outside the ring, The Phenom proved susceptible to count-out and dropped his match as a result.
None too pleased, the World Heavyweight Champion proceeded to demolish Rhodes & DiBiase.
CM Punk retiring Jeff Hardy won Shocker of the Year; John Cena def. CM Punk (PHOTOS | WATCH | WATCH MATCH) Despite having captured two World Heavyweight Championships and winning Money in the Bank for the second year in a row, CM Punk described retiring Jeff Hardy after their Steel Cage Match on SmackDown as his finest moment.
While The Straightedge Superstar also promised to prevail as WWE Superstar of the Year, his hopes were dashed in minutes when he met up with John Cena. Perhaps compensating for his loss to Sheamus at WWE: TLC, Cena showcased his considerable strength and skills against the holier-than-thou opponent to move onto the winner of the Undertaker vs. Randy Orton match. Cena then shared his thoughts with the WWE Universe: He will not lose another match before regaining the WWE Title!
Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase def. Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne (PHOTOS | WATCH) What started out as a match between Kofi Kingston and Cody Rhodes quickly devolved into a melee meltdown when Ted DiBiase ran in with Evan Bourne fast on his heels. Before the four could go too far off the reservation, guest host Dennis Miller announced the four in a tag team bout.
Like their Legacy leader, Randy Orton, did the night before, Rhodes and DiBiase wanted to disarm The Dreadlock Dynamo. Rather than hit Kofi directly, though, the pair targeted his aerial ally and scored the win by pinning Bourne.
Sheamus won the Slammy Award for Breakout Star of the Year (WATCH) Sheamus deserves to be taken seriously, period. That much was clear the night before at WWE: TLC when The Celtic Warrior defeated John Cena in a Tables Match to earn the WWE Championship. That accomplishment alone made the recipient of the nights next Slammy Award, Breakout Star of the Year, almost a foregone conclusion. When Sheamus was announced the winner, the Irishman boasted that hes better than a host of Hall of Famers and that Cena will never pry the championship away from him.
ECW Champion Christian, Kane and The Great Khali def. William Regal, Ezekiel Jackson & Vladimir Kozlov (PHOTOS | WATCH) William Regal and his Ruthless Roundtable of Ezekiel Jackson & Vladimir Kozlov have suffered their fair share of tribulations in the past, but the Englishman appeared determined to set aside any differences and take the fight to ECW Champion Christian.
For his part, Christian, who retained his championship in a Ladder Match against Shelton Benjamin the night before, assembled a towering triumvirate of his own, including Kane & The Great Khali. The ECW Champions trifecta proved too much for Regal and his goon squad to handle.
Four nominees battled to determine WWE Superstar of the Year Tonight saw World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker vs. Randy Orton as well as John Cena vs. CM Punk. The winners of these matches faced off later in the evening to determine who would take home WWE Superstar of the Year honors.
Chris Jericho & Big Show won the Slammy Award for Tag Team of the Year; Jericho invoked rematch clause (WATCH) The evening got off to a bittersweet start for Jeri-Show. Just one night after losing their Unified Tag Team Titles to Triple H & Shawn Michaels at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, Chris Jericho & Big Show accepted the Slammy Award for Tag Team of the Year. After soaking up accolades, mostly from himself, Jericho informed the WWE Universe that he and The Worlds Largest Athlete would invoke their rematch clause for a title match against DX later that night.

Ted DiBiase spoke to MySanAntonio.com to promote TLC. Heres what he had to say about his toughest opponent:
Id probably have to say Shawn Michaels. Even though hes a little bit older now, you cant underestimate him. Hes still Mr. Wrestlemania, hes still The Showstopper. Something happens when that bell rings. Hes a feisty little man. Not little. Hes feisty. I put his head through a chair, and he needed stitches, and it didnt even faze him. Theres no practicing (taking chair shots). You just tough it out. You just hope the adrenalines flowing so much that you dont even feel it until the next day.

- Those close to Rob Van Dam say that he doesn't have any "emotional attachment" to TNA. However, if he's offered big money with a light schedule, he would consider signing a deal.
- Ken Anderson to TNA now seems unlikely since he wants to focus more on an acting career. At one point, Anderson was looking to join TNA and prove that WWE made a mistake in letting him go.
- Ric Flair has been in talks with TNA since the Hulkamania tour although there is still no word on a deal being reached. TNA is hoping to him signed by the end of next week. There has also been discussion about doing a Flair vs. Sting program.
- Jim Ross is another name being considered by TNA. However, it's unknown when he'll be able to appear on TV again and a return to WWE still seems to be the most likely option.
