An announcement was recently made by the NIL Summit, who was the organization behind the launching of the WWE's NIL program last year, that WWE won the award for Brand of the Year at the 2022 NIL Awards. The WWE's NIL program was first launched in December of 2021 as a way to establish a pathway from the collegiate athletics to WWE. The inaugural 15-person NIL class included athletes from 13 universities and seven NCAA conferences as well as four different sports.
