Survivor Series preview

Read on for how I'd book tonight's WWE PPV.

Pre-show:
Fandango and Rosa can be interviewed backstage on the former's return. Curtis Axel can be the one to rain on his parade and be upset at the attention the dancer is getting. I think fans want to cheer Fandango and there's no real reason to keep him heel. Fandango with the win with the top rope leg drop.

Survivor Series:
I think if the show needs another match, something with Adam Rose and The Bunny makes sense. They can team up in a loss to Slater Gator to continue Rose's heel turn. The final straw will be on Raw, when Rose lays into The Bunny after a loss. There've been conflicting reports of who's in the costume. For now, I don't guess it really matters.

The Divas elimination match couldn't matter much less. About the only useful thing I can think to do is have Paige go on a roll with pins and/or submissions only to lose to Alicia as the final elimination. They might as well do some more face vs. heel stuff between the two sides while the next Divas' Title feud gets built. I think eventually they can get to Alicia vs. Paige in a #1 Contendership match.

It's no secret I'm the opposite of a fan of the Brie/Nikki angle, but they might as well get carry it through. Nikki makes use of Brie to get the dirty win over AJ, and we get a triple threat for the title at TLC. Yay. The only saving grace I can think of is building Nikki for a loss after Mania in a similar manner to AJ. I don't know if they'd want Charlotte to debut as a face, though. They could use Emma instead, I think. She should get a serious shot at the title, at least.

Stardust and Goldust retain, beating Los Matadores. I'm thinking they have a big gimmick match with The Usos at TLC to end their feud (either a chairs match or a tables match), where The Ascension debut and prevent The Usos from winning.

Ambrose and Wyatt beat the hell out of each other. Just when Ambrose thinks he's got Wyatt where he wants him, his father either appears or his voice plays over the intercom system, having escaped from prison. Wyatt gets the win on the distraction to set up a brass knuckles ladder match for TLC.


The main event is the clusterf*ck to end all clusterf*cks. It comes down to Cena and Rollins, and Triple H sends his goons in to try to help Rollins get the win. However, Randy Orton returns and gives an RKO to Noble and Mercury to prevent them from interfering. As Cena's focused on this, Stephanie slips Rollins a sledgehammer. Roman Reigns comes to prevent that from happening. HHH then goes in and seals the deal himself with a Pedigree while the referee is sending Reigns, Orton, Stephanie, Noble, and Mercury to the back. The Authority remains in power, but only because...

Vince McMahon comes out and names a new GM. Sting's theme plays, and he shakes Vince's hand to close the show. Sting hires back the losing team on Raw, and each formerly fired member has a match with a member of Team Authority. If it wasn't for the Sting rumor, I'd have Ziggler or someone get the pin on Rollins to end the match and put The Authority out of power.

Set for TLC:
- Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins in a TLC match for the MITB briefcase
- Bray Wyatt vs. Dean Ambrose in a brass knuckles ladder match
- John Cena/Big Show/Dolph Ziggler vs. Kane/Mark Henry/Cesaro in an elimination tables match (since they've pretty much got to have Cena, Show, Kane, and Henry on the cards at this point)
- Erick Rowan vs. Luke Harper for the Intercontinental Championship
- Stardust and Goldust vs. The Usos in a chairs match for the Tag Team Championship
- Nikki vs. Brie vs. AJ for the Divas' Championship

More wrestling tomorrow.
