How WWE Should Book Survivor Series 2017

 Image result for survivor series 2017

Hey everyone! Ever since Night Of Champions 2015, through multiple accounts, I have been fantasy booking WWE PPV's in detail, mainly just because I love writing and wrestling and throwing out ideas. I major in journalism in real life. As always, enjoy the post, and give me your thoughts and what from my post you'd like to see really happen on the show. Without further ado, here is How I Would Book Survivor Series 2017. (For those that have seen these posts before that are confused, I was previously u/ThePipeBomb11)

My Posts On Previous Survivor Series:

KICKOFF SHOW: Our Kickoff Panel consists of Renee Yong, Peter Rosenberg, Lita and David Otunga. They hype up the matches and give their predictions throughout the hour, and we're also shown video packages. A Social Media Lounge segment with JOHN CENA is announced earlier in the day. Use #AskCena. No matter how this SML goes, nothing will ever top last year's Survivor Series when Kevin Owens was on & he revealed to the world that Tom Phillip's IPad password was 6969. About halfway through, we get to our kickoff match.

KICKOFF MATCH: Enzo Amore (c) vs. Kalisto (Singles Match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship)

  • Enzo is out first and cuts a promo ripping on Houston. Kalisto is out next. The match goes 9 minutes and Enzo gets the win after Drew Gulak runs out and jumps on the apron and distracts the ref, and Enzo hits a LOW BLOW WITH BRASS KNUCKLES on Kalisto and then wins off a Small Package as Kalisto staggers in pain.

WINNER and STILL WWE Cruiserweight Champion: Enzo Amore (with the help of Drew Gulak)

We get the John Cena Social Media Lounge with Tom Phillips, and they primarily pick questions about Cena's last minute addition to Team SD, and what made him decide to return after No Mercy. The panel gives their final predictions, and then we get to the main card.

MAIN SHOW:

  • This is absolutely the most unbelievably stacked PPV card of the 2010's. The two most successful factions since Evolution, The Shield and The New Day face off finally. We have BROCK LESNAR VS AJ STYLES. We have Survivor Series teams that consist of JOHN CENA, RANDY ORTON, TRIPLE H, KURT ANGLE, SHANE MCMAHON... The Bar vs. The Usos will be one of the best Tag Team matches of the decade, Bliss vs Charlotte will be incredible.
  • We get the Then Now Forever signature, but instead of beginning with a video package for the show, Kevin Owens music hits and he comes out with Sami Zayn. They both have mics and Owens says that he and Sami were both frustrated about not being on the card for Survivor Series, so they went to both Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon individually to put them in some sort of match, but they both denied because they have vendettas against them still. Finally, Sami had the brilliant idea to go to TRIPLE H, and THEY DEMANDED TO BE MADE THE HOSTS OF SURVIVOR SERIES 2017. Hunter granted their request, and now here they are. Owens and Zayn say that they're running the show now, and they are offically renaming Survivor Series THE SAMI AND KEVIN SHOW. Zayn chimes in and says it's the Kevin and Sami Show. Kevin and Sami also announce that they will be the SPECIAL GUEST RING ANNOUNCERS AND COMMENTATORS for the Men's Raw vs. Smackdown match. And to cap it all off, THEY ANNOUNCE THAT THE SHIELD VS THE NEW DAY IS NOW A NO DISQUALIFICATION TORNADO TAG. Expect shenanigans. Owens and Zayn head to the back and then we get the opening video package then we get to our first match.

1ST MATCH: The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins) vs. The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods) (No Disqualification Interbrand 6-Man Tornado Tag Team Match)

  • New Day are out first and do their usual schtick, OHHH HOUSTON TEXAS, and they tell everyone to clap for their Shield-Slayers. New Day don't even cut a pre-match promo like they usually do, they immediately get down to business as Kofi and Woods get in the ring as Big E grabs 3 steel chairs from under the ring and tosses them to the other 2. Sierra Hotel India Echo Lima Delta wails across the Toyota Center as The Shield come down from the crowd in their vests. The Shield surround the ring and they also grab Steel Chairs. The bell rings and all 6 men go wild with the chairs. The Shield cause New Day to roll out of the ring to regroup and then New Day run back in and knock The Shield out of the ring. The Shield huddle and then run back in again and then the two teams BRAWL. The match goes 21 minutes.
  • BIG SPOTS IN THE MATCH: THE NEW DAY triple powerbomb Roman Reigns through the Spanish Announce desk, and The Shield do the Unicorn Stomp to Big E in this match. The match ends after Big E & Roman Reigns are the legal men, and Ambrose in Rollins come in to beat the big man down. Big E throws Rollins and Reigns across the ring, and then pushes Ambrose into the ropes. Dean does his rebound clothesline but doesn't knock Big E down, then he staggers around into a Springboard Knee from Seth Rollins off the top rope, and then Big E does another 180 and eats a Spear from Roman Reigns for the pin. Big E is pinned after 3 finishing moves from the Shield, I'd say that doesn't do him much harm. I honestly don't think Big E has ever taken a pin in the history of New Day anyways. RAW has 1 win so far. I'm going to have a post out Tuesday afternoon about a funny angle in mind for the following Smackdown involving The New Day mocking the Shield Breakup, leading to a BIG debut.

WINNERS: The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins) by Pinfall

  • We see Triple H in his office backstage on the phone and he gets a knock on the door. HHH says to come in and the camera pans over and it's none other than Daniel Bryan. Hunter Hearst Helmsley rolls his eyes and tells the person he's talking to he'll call them back. The Wrestlemania 30 opponents stare at each other for a few seconds then Daniel Bryan unleashes his fury and demands to know why Triple H would name Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn the hosts of Survivor Series when they're not even on the same brand as him. HHH explains simply by saying, 'WE MAY NOT BE ON THE SAME SHOW-UH, BUT I'M THE C--O--O-UHHH, YO!' Or something like that. Basically Hunter just likes Owens and Zayn so he did them a nice little favor.

2ND MATCH: Team RAW (Captain Alicia Fox, Asuka, Bayley, Nia Jax & Sasha Banks) vs. Team SmackDown (Captain Becky Lynch, Carmella, Naomi, Tamina and TBA) (Women's Traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series Interbrand Elimination Match)

  • Team Raw begins the entrances as the Captain of Team RAW Alicia Fox is out first, followed by Asuka, then Nia Jax, then Bayley, and finally Sasha Banks. Team Smackdown has Captain Becky Lynch come out first, then Carmella, then Tamina, then Naomi... and now 9/10 women are in the ring. It's time to find out who the 5th member of Team SD is. The women wait in the ring as the crowd begins to stir and hopefully chant for Paige and Natalya's music hits to boos. Natalya makes it out to the stage and poses before Daniel Bryan's music interrupts her and he comes out and informs Natalya that she isn't the 5th member of Team SD. Nattie is pissed and Bryan brings out the real 5th member, PAIGE. There's a huge pop and Paige comes out and yells that Houston is her house. SD needs Paige. It's gonna be great to see her back. The match goes 15 1/2 minutes and Paige and Alicia Fox start off, and Fox gets all cocky and Paige just stands in the corner, absorbing the crowd. Paige looks around and Fox runs at her and eats a Ram-Paige, getting pinned and eliminated right out of the gate. Later in the match it’s a hoss battle between Tamina & Nia Jax, and Nia pins Tamina with a barrage of leg drops. Asuka and Naomi are legal next and Naomi taps in the Asuka Lock. Carmella comes in next and she’s afraid to lock up with Asuka and Asuka beats her down. Asuka nails a kick to the side of Mella’s head and then Mella rolls under the bottom rope and walks to the back and is counted out. Captain Becky Lynch & Paige only now remain for Team SD. Paige and Becky make a team effort to eliminate Nia Jax and she taps out when she is in both the PTO & Disarmer. Now the remaining are Asuka, Sasha & Bayley on Team Raw, and Lynch & Paige on SD. Sasha & Becky are legal, and Asuka is down on the outside. Becky is beating down Banks, and Bayley comes in to save her friend. Bayley rund in and dropkicks Lynch. Bayley goes to the top for an elbow but Becky rolls away and Bayley hits Sasha instead. Becky blasts Bayley out of the ring now and pins Sasha. Later in the match, Paige and Asuka fight to the outside and Paige sends Asuka into the Universe, and she doesn’t make it back in for 10. The remaining are now just Bayley on RAW, & Becky Lynch Paige for SD. The fate of RAW is on poor little Bayley’s shoulders. Sasha comes back out to ringside after being earlier eliminated and limps to cheer Bayley. Sasha didn’t even know what hit her earlier, so It seems like she’s not mad at Bayley for indirectly costing her. Becky locks in the Disarm-Her and Bayley almost gets to the ropes but Lynch pulls her back to the middle and Bayley taps and Sasha has that “I’m done with you” look as she Submits.

  • We get an ad for the SD-PPV Clash of Champions next month. I'll have my custom card for this show at the end of this post, as well as the RAW side of the Royal Rumble card.

3RD MATCH: Baron Corbin (United States Champion) vs. The Miz (Intercontinental Champion; with Bo Dallas) (Non-Title Champion vs. Champion Interbrand Singles Match)

  • We get the graphic for the match, and then a short recap of the Twitter promos that both men have cut on each other, including Miz's F-Bomb and Big Baron calling Miz his daddy. #ThisIsWrestling clap clap clap clap clap. Corbin is out first followed by Michael Mizanin & Maryse. We get formal ring introductions. The match goes 9 minutes. This will probably be the worst match on the main show, but still I don't expect it to be awful whatsoever. The match ends when Miz calls for Corbin to get up and hooks his arms for a Skull Crushing Finale, but Corbin flips him around in an arm-drag like motion but holds on and hits a Super End Of Days for the win.

WINNER by Pinfall: United States Champion Baron Corbin

  • We cut backstage to AJ Styles preparing for his match with Lesnar.

4TH MATCH: The Bar (RAW Tag Team Champions) vs. The Usos (Smackdown Tag Team Champions)

  • The Usos are out first followed by The Bar. Good god this is going to be great professional wrestling indeed. The match goes 15 minutes. The match ends after The Usos hit a Double Splash off opposite posts to Cesaro, and Jey pins Cesaro for the win.

WINNERS: The Usos (Smackdown Tag Team Champions) by Pinfall

  • We get an ad for Mattel and then we see Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn causing hell backstage.

5TH MATCH: Alexa Bliss (RAW Women's Champion) vs. Charlotte Flair (Smackdown Women's Champion) Non-Title Champion vs. Champion Interbrand Singles Match

  • Charlotte is out first followed by Bliss. The match goes 13 minutes. **Near the end of the match, Charlotte is in the corner preparing to spear Alexa, and she runs but Alexa pushes the ref in the way. The ref is down and Charlotte grabs her head in pain and then CARMELLA COMES OUT OF NOWHERE (under the ring) AND BLASTS CHARLOTTE WITH THE MITB BRIEFCASE and then nails a Mella Buster to Charlotte face-first onto the case. Carmella drags Alexa over Charlotte and RAW now has 2 wins to SD's 3 for the night so far. Alexa beats Charlotte.....

WINNER: Alexa Bliss (RAW Women's Champion) by Pinfall

6TH MATCH: Carmella vs. Charlotte (Smackdown Women's Championship; Carmella's MITB Cash-In Match)

  • .....but Charlotte's about to be beaten twice in one night. Carmella dumps Alexa out of the ring and then rolls outside to the timekeepers area and hands the ref her briefcase. JoJo announces that CARMELLA IS CASHING IN HER CONTRACT. The bell tolls and it's official. This all lasts only about a minute. Camella reenters the ring and stands over Charlotte, and lifts her up to put her in a Code Of Silence, BUT CHARLOTTE SHOVES CARMELLA BACK AND THEN HITS A SPEAR. Carmella kicks out at 2.99. Charlotte is done for now and Carmella grabs the ropes and struggles to get up, clutching her ribs. Carmella locks in the Code Of Silence deep and Charlotte won't tap. The ref calls for the bell in fear of Carmella doing more damage to Charlotte's legs and Carmella wins the title. She runs with her prize to the ramp and then sits and holds it up. Obviously this leads to a match between the two at Clash Of Champions, which I'll again have the card for at the end of this post.

WINNER and NEW Smackdown Live Women's Champion: Carmella

7TH MATCH: AJ Styles (WWE Champion) vs. Brock Lesnar (Universal Champion; with Paul Heyman)

  • This match is going to be something. Difference between other Brock matches and this one is that Brock vs. AJ is a world champion vs world champion match. You can’t squash the WWE champion in 5-6 minutes. This will be an actual match, and a fucking great one. The match goes 11 minutes. Not too long, not too short. A believable amount of time for Brock to beat AJ.
  • BIG SPOTS IN THE MATCH: Styles knocks Lesnar to the announce table outside area over the top, and then runs the ropes for a Tope Con Hilo but Lesnar catches him and hoists him up for an POWERBOMB through the announce desk. Also in this match I really think we need to see the return of the BROCK LOCK. Lesnar locks it in but Styles begins to kick Lesnar in the face a few times and then hits a Pele Kick. The match ends when Brock hoists AJ up for an F-5 but Styles jumps off shoulders and nails a Backstabber. He goes to the apron for the Forearm, and springs off the top but Brock scoops him off the top rope and nails an F-5 for the win. We need to keep the trend of Brock beating everyone with only one F-5 going until Wrestlemania where Roman Leakee inevitably beats him.

WINNER: Brock Lesnar (Universal Champion)

  • The Survivor Series Score (tm) is now even with RAW and SD both tied at 3 wins for the night. We get an ad for Wrestlemania 34 and Mattel, and then we get to our main event.

8TH MATCH: Team RAW (Captain Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman, Finn Bálor, Samoa Joe, and Triple H) vs. Team SmackDown (Captain Shane McMahon, Bobby Roode, John Cena, Randy Orton, and Shinsuke Nakamura) 5-on-5 Men's Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match

  • We get a video package of the invasions beforehand, and Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn come out to do their ring announcing. They purposely botch and mess up all the names of Team RAW. Captain Kurt Angle is out first, followed by Captain Shane McMahon of SD, followed by Braun Strowman, then Bobby Roode, then Samoa Joe, then Randy Orton, then Finn Balor, then Shinsuke Nakamura, and finally Triple H comes out on RAW, and final overall is the returning John Cena of SD. Triple H & Shane McMahon start things off. McMahon vs. McMahon. This is gonna be a damn shoot. HHH and Shane brawl for a bit and HHH hits a Spinebuster then tags in Joe to do some damage.
  • BIG SPOTS IN THE MATCH:Owens and Zayn get taken out by the RAW guys at the announce table. Bobby Roode & HHH are legal about halfway in the match, and they have a staredown for a bit. It's inception. They do a spot where they're mimics of each other, Roode moves an arm, and HHH does too. Nakamura slides in to attack HHH and Balor to attack Roode but they both deliver Spinebusters at the same time and then stare each other down again | John Cena & Kurt Angle have a staredown and interaction in the match, 15 years later. They both hit their moves on each other but they find ways to foil them. | Cena hits an AA on Triple H on the apron after his elimination | Finn Balor & Samoa Joe reignite their problems and fight each other after Balor bumps Joe off the apron | Strowman straight up grabs Shinsuke Nakamura by his neck and tosses him into the crowd. Like on top of people.
  • The eliminations happen as follows: Braun lays out Orton on the outside with a Big Boot and then throws Steps over the top rope into the ring and then Cena attempts an AA but Braun gets off and scoops Cena up for the powerslam onto them. John Cena is eliminated first in a shocker. The rest of the eliminations are in the table below. The two biggest moments in the match are Jason Jordan coming out and looking like he’s gonna help Kurt, but then Angle slams Angle and Shane covers Angle for the Elimination. The second big moment is Daniel Bryan turning heel after Team SD can’t seem to get offense in, and he delivers kicks to EVERYONE. Everyone goes insane and Bryan hits a Running Knee on Shane for annoying Bryan in recent weeks. Afterward, HHH holds up the arms of his two monsters in victory, and then Daniel Bryan walks over, extends his hand, and shakes hands with Satan.

The rest of the match is described in the eliminations table below.
