How WWE Should Book Survivor Series 2016

 Image result for survivor series 2016

Hey everyone! Every month, days before PPV's happen, I share my thoughts on the show and card and how I would book the show that has unexpected swerves, returns, debuts, and a memorable show that would leave fans happy. If you want, you can read some past editions of these by clicking on my name and searching. I have been doing these for every PPV since Night Of Champions 2015. I hope you enjoy, and this is how Survivor Series 2016 Should Be Booked.

PRE SHOW

  • Oh... oh god... it's 2 hours... We get the usual panel of Renee, Booker, Lita, and Jerry Lawler. Two Social Media Lounge segments are announced earlier in the day with Kalisto and Sami Zayn. There actually haven't been any Pre show matches announced as of yet, so we can use our IMAGINATION and make some up! We get to our first one.

1ST KICKOFF MATCH: Bo Dallas vs Curtis Axel

  • At least this has a tiny bit of background behind it. Bo and Axel still have unfinished business after their mini feud a few weeks ago. Bo is out first followed by Axel. The match goes 8 minutes and Axel gets his win back after pinning Bo with a Perfect-Plex.

WINNER: Curtis Axel

  • We get the SML with Kalisto and then the panel talks some more and give predictions and we get video packages and all that good stuff. We get to our 2nd kickoff match.

2ND KICKOFF MATCH: TJ Perkins, Neville, Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann vs Ariya Daivari, Gran Metalik, Drew Gulak, & Tony Nese

  • 8 man tag. Neville should be part of the CW division. The heels are out first followed by the face Team. The match goes 14 minutes, and the faces win after Neville hits a Red Arrow onto Daivari's legs and then tags in TJ to locks in the kneebar on his injured knee.

WINNERS: TJ Perkins, Neville, Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann

  • We get the Sami Zayn SML and then we get the panel's final predictions and thoughts, and we get to Survivor Series.

MAIN SHOW

  • We get the opening video package and pyro as Michael Cole welcomes us to the 30th annual Survivor Series. Like Summerslam, the RAW team will call RAW matches, the SD team will call SD matches, and for dual brand matches, like the one that's kicking off, both teams will talk.

1ST MATCH: New Day, The Club, Cesaro & Sheamus, Enzo & Cass and the Shining Stars (TEAM RAW) vs Heath Slater & Rhyno, Hype Bros, Breezango, The Usos and American Alpha (TEAM SD)

  • New Day is out first and they have all sorts of canaidian stereotypes, as Big E tosses out Maple Syrup to the crowd, and Kofi has a canaidian flag, and Woods is wearing a Maple Leafs jersey playing a special red and white trombone. Their gear is red and white also. Slater/Rhyno out next, followed by Enzo and Cass, then Breezango, then The Shining Stars, then Hype Bros, The Club, Usos, Cesaro and Sheamus, and finally American Alpha. The match goes 28 minutes (SS matches are always really long, calm down). The champs on both respective brands start it off. The Hype Bros are eliminated first after the Club hits a magic killer. Next, The Usos eliminate Sheamus/Cesaro after arguing. New Day eliminate Breezango. Shining Stars eliminate Usos. It looks like RAW is killing SD, but SD make a comeback. AA eliminate Shining Stars and Enzo/Cass. Slater/Rhyno eliminate Club. New Day are the last RAW team left, and for SD it's down to AA and the champs. Woods has some shenanigans with the trombone on the outside and throws it at Slater and then Big E eliminates the SD Tag champs with a Midnight Hour. The lone survivors on either team are New Day and American Alpha. The crowd is electric and Jason Jordan and Big E are the legal men. They lock up and they fight for 2-3 more minutes. The ref is distracted by Xaivier as he thinks he's trying to help Big E, but suddenly two men in hoods come from under the ring. They lay out Kofi and Xaivier and then run to the back. It would be revealed the next night on Raw that the masked men would be the debuting Revival, and in the main event they would defeat New Day for the titles. Revival would say they don't care about Brand Supremecy, and they damn sure didn't do it to help their formal rivals American Alpha. They wanted to make a name and deception overcame New Day to give the TOP GUYS a title shot, that they knew with !00% certainty they would win. Alpha hit Grand Amplitude on Big E and AMERICAN ALPHA are now instantly over to the spot they deserve and they look impressive. Alpha would say on SD that they didn't like the way they won, but they knew they would for SD. American Alpha are the lone survivors, and would challenge for the Tag Titles against Slater/Rhyno at TLC in a Chairs match. I'll have the match card for TLC at the end of this post.

WINNERS: TEAM SD LONE SURVIVORS: AMERICAN ALPHA

2ND MATCH: Brian Kendrick (c) vs Kalisto (Cruiserweight Championship; if Kalisto wins, the CW's move to SDLIVE)

  • Kendrick is out first followed by Kalisto. The match goes 13 minutes. I hate to be having so many title changes in such a short amount of time, but it's obvious that Kalisto will and should win here because 205Live is right after SD. Plus, Kalisto was US Champ at the beginning of the year, so he has credibility, and he's really good. The match ends when Kendrick locks in the Captain's Hook, but Kalisto leans against Kendrick and makes his way to his feet, still holding on to Kendrick's head, and then runs off the ropes and hits a Salida Del Sol for the win and title.

WINNER and NEW CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION: Kalisto

  • We get a backstage interview with American Alpha about being the lone survivors and winning for SD.

3RD MATCH: Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Nia Jax & Alicia Fox (Team Raw) vs Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, Naomi, Carmella, & Nikki Bella w/ Natlaya (TEAM SD)

  • Bayley is out first followed by Becky Lynch, Nia Jax, Carmella, Alicia Fox, Alexa Bliss, Sasha, Naomi, Charlotte, and finally captain Nikki Bella with coach Natalya. The match goes 22 minutes. Sasha and Alexa start things off. Nia Jax eventually gets in and plows through everyone and eliminates Naomi and Carmella to get Raw a good start. Becky locks in the Disarmer on Alicia to tap her out and eliminate her. Bayley hits a Bayley to Belly through the SD announce desk to eliminate Alexa. I love Alexa the most out of anyone on this team, but Becky and Nikki should be the final two on SD. At least it's a big way to send her out. Sasha hits a Backstabber into a Bank Statement to tap out Nikki, and Nikki goes to the back and shes about to do the same to Becky but all of a sudden Charlotte runs in and throws Sasha out of the ring. She just wants to be a dick heel. She wants the pin for herself. The glory for herself. She throws out Banks and runs off the ropes and hits a spear to Becky to win the Women's match for Team Raw. It's 1-1.

WINNERS: TEAM RAW Lone Survivors: Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Nia Jax & Bayley

4TH MATCH: Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman & Roman Reigns (TEAM RAW) vs AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton & Shane McMahon w/ James Ellsworth (TEAM SD)

  • I'M #TEAMBRAUN. Owens is out first followed by Bray Wyatt & Randy Orton, then Chris Jericho, Shane McMahon, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and James Ellsworth, Braun Strowman, AJ Styles, and finally Seth Rollins. The match goes 35 minutes, and has lots of first time interactions that everyone will jizz over and lots of big spots and moves. Rollins and Reigns argue over who will start the match and Ambrose walks up to them for a huge pop for another mini Shield Reunion. Ambrose gives them both a jumping Dirty Deeds. Ambrose throws Reigns out and Rollins and Ambrose start the match. Orton eliminates Roman after Roman hits Orton with a Superman Punch, and then runs off the ropes to hit a spear but Orton catches him Midair with an RKO. Shane hits Jericho with a Coast to Coast with a trashcan to eliminate Y2J. Bray and Strowman are the legal men at one point and they have a staredown. Suddenly, Luke Harper runs in from behind and Orton RKOs the ref and Harper and Bray beat down Strowman with steel chairs. Wyatt hits a Sister Abigail to eliminate Strowman. It's not looking good for RAW. Strowman gets offered to be helped out by trainer but he pushes them all down. As Strowman is walking to the ramp, Ellsworth runs up and extends his hand to a HUGE pop. The man that started it all for the Chinless Wonder. Strowman looks pissed and Ellsworth realizes what hes done. James tries to run but Strowman catches him and MURDERS him by giving him a Running Powerslam through the barricade. Owens starts to make a comeback as Rollins is laid out on the outside and he gets RKO'ed by Orton. Rollins runs in to try to help but he eats a Styles Clash from AJ. It's 1-5. Kevin Owens is the last member of Team Raw to a full Team SD. Owens has the "Yeah I'm fucked" look on his face. Styles hits a Pele Kick on Owens as he turns around. Owens is down now and Styles goes to the apron to set up the Forearm. Owens is up and Styles is about to jump but Bray Wyatt runs in and hits a Sister Abigail to pin Owens and win for Team SD. Wyatt celebrates as AJ is still on the apron and looks stunned. Styles goes in the ring and pushes Wyatt. Wyatt and Styles have words and Styles says that that was his pin. Styles slaps Bray and Bray laughs. Wyatt hits a Sister Abigail on Styles and then holds up the WWE World Title to a huge pop. Styles is laid out and Wyatt drops the title over Styles then walks out. Another Wrestlemania storyline has just begun.

WINNER: TEAM SD LONE SURVIVORS: Clean Sweep

5TH MATCH: The Miz (c) vs Sami Zayn (Intercontinental Championship)

  • Sami is out first followed by Miz. I really don't get why they had Ziggler lose the title last week. Sami is just gonna win it here. Maybe they wanted to keep Ziggler looking strong for something. The match goes 16 minutes and Zayn wins the title after he hits a Helluva kick. But then he wants to really send a statement. He puts Miz back in the corner for a second Helluva kick. 1. 2. 3. Sami Zayn is finally champ. Zayn is interviewed after the match by Byron Saxton and there is confetti everywhere. Zayn talks about what he went through to get to this point. He says he think he would be treated better on SD, and disses Mick and Stephanie, and says the IC Title is STAYING on SD, because he's GOING to SD!

WINNER and NEW IC CHAMP: Sami godamn Zayn

6TH MATCH: Brock Lesnar w/ Paul Heyman vs Goldberg

  • This match will be very interesting. The crowd reaction and how Goldberg does, as he's 49, hasn't wrestled in 12 years, and tweaked his shoulder on RAW. We get a video package before the match and Lesnar is out first followed by Goldberg. All main roster and NXT talent are there and we see DIY doing their Glorious Bomb during the entrance with their newly won NXT Tag Titles as they promised. The match goes 11 minutes, because there's no way Goldberg can do a really long match. At first, as a rib to the fans, they lock up once for a few seconds, then break it then lock up again, as a flashback to what their WM20 match was. They try to lock up one more time but Lesnar gets Goldberg up on his shoulders and hits an F-5, and Goldberg just barely kicks out. Hopefully it's much better than expected and exceed's everyone's expectations. In one spot, Goldberg spears Lesnar into the ring post. The big spot in the match is when Goldberg nails Lesnar with a Jackhammer through the RAW table. Lesnar works over Goldberg's arm the whole match and at one point he powerbombs Goldberg onto the apron and Goldberg's arm lands on the edge. The match ends when Lesnar locks in the Kimura Lock on Goldberg and in kayfabe breaks his arm, and Goldberg taps out. Lesnar hasn't won with the Kimura Lock in a while, and it would tell a good story here. After the match Goldberg is put in a Splint and stretchered out. Lesnar is celebrating and poses on the middle rope as pyro goes off. Lesnar has won the mega match. The camera is focused on Lesnar as he gets down and we hear the crowd erupt. All of a sudden, Samoa Joe runs and nails Lesnar with his newly won NXT Title. Just because Joe won back the title doesn't mean he can't be on the main roster, as many superstars have done the same, and he's no doubt losing it back to Nakamura at the show in Osaka, Japan in December. Heyman screams at Joe but then Heyman tries to apologize and says his "I;m just an advocate" line and Joe grabs him by the collar and hurls him over the ropes. Joe nails Lesnar with a Muscle Buster and then locks in the Coquina Clutch and won't break it even after all the trainers and refs in the locker room spill out to try to stop him. Joe finally breaks it. We have another Wrestlemania storyline begun.

WINNER: Brock Lesnar
