Best WWE Moment Returns To ESPYS List Of Categories, Nominations Announced

The Best WWE Moment is back at the ESPYS.

WWE announced that the ESPYS have re-added the Best WWE Moment category to the annual awards ceremony. The category was first introduced in 2019 with Roman Reigns winning the award for his return to television and announcing his leukemia was in remission. The category was not present for the 2020 awards as the ceremony underwent changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Titus O’Neil was nominated for the Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian Award at the 2020 ESPYS.

Sixteen nominations were announced with voting taking place to narrow the field down.
