Speaking to Stephanie McMahon on What’s Your Story, Gronkowski and Stephanie had the following exchange where Rob learned of his Slammy victory.

Stephanie: We have something in common. We’re both Slammy award winners. I don’t even know if you know that you’re a Slammy award winner. During COVID, you won Celebrity of the Year. I, myself, won a Slammy, which is a big deal in our business, for WWE. I was best heel moment and it was for slapping the crap out of Big Show.

Gronk: What’s a Slammy Award?

Stephanie: It’s like the Oscars and Grammys for WWE.

Gronk: They should’ve given me the Slammy Award before I came on the podcast. This isn’t good that I didn’t know it, but it might bring more awareness now. Slammy Awards.

Stephanie: The Slammy Awards are a big deal.

Gronk: It’s just a WWE award? Is it in LA?

Stephanie: It’s been in many different places.

Gronk: I remember. I couldn’t go. I was in Canada that day so I couldn’t make it. I remember. I do.
