Survivor Series is almost here. I wanted to share some mistakes that I think WWE should avoid making at the event.
Mistake #5: NXT Loses Every Match
Let’s start with an obvious one. This will be the first time that NXT will be involved in Survivor Series. The NXT invasion storyline has been pretty good so far and WWE has done a great job at building up various NXT stars [Adam Cole, Shayna Baszler, etc.] as legitimate threats.
What would be a mistake would be for WWE to throw that all away at Survivor Series and have NXT lose every match. You never really know with Vince McMahon. He could think that just having them take part in Survivor Series is enough for the NXT brand. I think that there is a legitimate chance that NXT comes up empty at the event.
In my opinion, WWE needs to have NXT win at least one of their matches, so fans view them as an equal brand with Smackdown and RAW. They need to give main roster fans a reason to tune into NXT on a weekly basis. Having NXT lose every match at Survivor Series would give the message that NXT is the weakest brand and not worth checking out.
Mistake #4: Brock Lesnar Squashes Rey Mysterio
Brock Lesnar will be defending his WWE Championship against Rey Mysterio at Survivor Series. I think that it would be a mistake for Brock to squash Rey.
Brock works his best matches against those who are smaller than him. We saw that over the past few years, with Brock putting on some great matches against Finn Balor, Daniel Bryan, and AJ Styles. I think that Rey vs Brock has the chance to be really good and I don’t want it to be a squash. Rey and Brock have shown that they have some strong chemistry in the past. Plus, Rey is the perfect underdog against a guy like Brock. This match has a chance to be pretty special but only if WWE gives it a chance.
It is hard to tell what WWE is going to do with Brock. He puts on those classic matches like I mentioned before but then he goes and squashes Kofi Kingston in 5 seconds to win the WWE Championship. As a result, Brock squashing Rey is definitely a strong possibility at Survivor Series. Let’s hope that WWE lets them wrestle instead.
