Sunday’s pay-per-view is shaping up to be one of the most memorable Survivor Series events in recent years, thanks in major part to the celebration of The Undertaker’s 25-year anniversary with the WWE. Was mentioning Reid Flair right for Paige and Charlotte’s feud?

Within a span of 10 minutes, fans saw the WWE name two new World Heavyweight Champions, but only one left Atlanta’s Philips Arena as the sole champion: Sheamus. Give me Reigns to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. We also get a Diva’s title defense and the yearly Survivor Series match, however, the participants of that match are yet to be determined. It is a classic piece of booking, creating sympathy for Reigns and making people want to see Sheamus knocked out of the top spot. It wasn’t good. Luke Harper scored a pin after a distraction that wasn’t really a distraction on a clothesline. The Undertaker and Kane are likely to come out of this one, but one has to wonder if there would be any turncoat move at the end of the night between the Brothers of Destruction. There were some good sequences during the match, with Del Rio trying to get his armbar submission on Reigns, but Reigns would counter with a sit-down slam.
With the cash in win Sheamus is now a four time WWE champion. In all fairness, a Roman Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose match should be saved for another date, as there is a lot of history to build on, and a Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens match will be easier to book and structure. A few weeks ago Roman Reigns turned down Triple H’s offer. First, to have Reigns win his first title and now have it mean nothing is absolutely ridiculous.
Charlotte to retain the title against PaigeThe fued was elevated when it was given the main event at RAW, however, it is expected Paige will lose, but will be made to look stronger than ever before. Roman vs. Rusev was announced for the Raw main event. Who’s turning heel? I still believe that Reigns will turn this Sunday.

Coach enquired about the threat issued by ISIS at Survivor Series, to which Sheamus replied that WWE had taken the threat seriously. You can see the full betting lines and card below. In looking at who hasn’t been booked on the show yet, I think the most star-studded match WWE could do would pit Ryback, Cesaro, Neville and The Usos against New Day, Sheamus and King Barrett.
