WWE Survivor Series hardly made a good impression but when the smoke cleared, it was perhaps what transpired after the WWE heavyweight title tournament that drew much interest rather than the cards for the night.

If you were hoping they’d follow up the excitement of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship tournament and a Money in the Bank cash-in with 20 minutes of explanation to set up a bunch of rematches and confuse everyone’s alignments and motivations, HOT DOG, DREAMS DO COME TRUE.
Roman Reigns to become the WWE World Champion after he defeats Dean AmbroseNo guesses for this one. Yeah, you would have liked the matches to be a bit more definied beforehand, but this is no different than most of the Survivor Series matches over the past decade.

Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens and United States Champion Alberto Del Rio lost their respective matches, but each should get an opportunity to take on new challengers as well, as the WWE prepares for their next pay-per-view event, “TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs”. They got little offense in during the match and Undertaker looked invincible.

The WWE Survivor Series has been one of the top names for the company in terms of PPV, and is a part of the “big 4” that are held annually. Reigns and Sheamus are likely to be there and the most likely scenario is seeing them slug it out for the WWE title. The match was short and was not worthy of WWE Championship status. It looks like Reigns is about to knock Triple H down before the COO turns his back and viciously attacks Ambrose.
Sheamus comes out of nowhere and Brogue Kicks the new champion. Reigns’ last two attempts at the belt were sullied by Money in the Bank cash-ins. It took two spears for Dean Ambrose to not kick out, allowing Roman to win the WWE championship.
The first was Roman Reigns, who many – including John Cena – expected to win the tournament for the vacated title. And given their past track record as a tag team, they won’t during the match either.

Now this is hard to predict, considering we do not know who is going to be in the match yet, as the WWE have bizarrely not announced it yet. When Triple H came out to congratulate the new champ, Reigns refused to shake the COO’s hand, delivering a Spear instead.
