The WWE will continue its Thanksgiving Week tradition when it presents the 29th annual Survivor Series on Nov. 22.
A John Cena Heel Turn Would Be Legendary
Throughout the years, the November Classic has given the WWE Universe many great memories and its fair share of shocking moments.
With the 2015 installment set to emanate from the Philips Arena in Atlanta, here are 10 booking decisions the WWE needs to make the event feel special again.
Dolph Ziggler Hints At Unhappiness In Cryptic Tweet
1) Swervior Series
Some of the best swerves in wrestling history have occurred at the Survivor Series. The most infamous one was the 1997 Montreal Screwjob, but The Rock's heel turn heel turn at the 1998 edition also ranks up there. It's been a long time since the WWE pulled off a major surprise, but with the World Heavyweight Championship tournament culminating at the event, something needs to give.
2) A Reign for Reigns
Unless the WWE pulls a major surprise, it appears Roman Reigns is going to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Since it's inevitable, they might as well make it fun. Triple H is in need of a protégé now that Seth Rollins is injured, maybe it's time for Reigns to join The Authority like his cousin, The Rock, joined the Corporation in 1998.
3) Betray The Shield
If Reigns is going to turn heel, it means the WWE needs a sympathetic figure. That could come in the form of Dean Ambrose. The "Lunatic Fringe" could once again be betrayed by a former Shield stablemate by losing to a new heel Reigns or he could sell out to the Authority himself and shock the world by winning it all.
4) Irish Curse
Sheamus is "Mr. Money in the Bank," but he hasn't cashed in since winning the contract in June. He should keep it that way at Survivor Series.
5) Survival of the Fittest
The WWE needs to stop bucking tradition and embrace the traditional Survivor Series matches. Most fans love the nostalgia bouts and they usually provide fun and rare matchups and alliances. So far, the company hasn't announced any 4-on-4 or 5-on-5 elimination bouts, which is very lame.
6) Brothers of Destruction
It was announced that instead of a traditional match, The Undertaker and Kane will take on two members of The Wyatt Family, essentially ruining the fun of the storyline. The WWE could use RAW and SmackDown to fix this angle, by having two other Superstars align with "The Deadman" and his kayfabe brother to take on all four Wyatts in a traditional match, or they could have mystery partners to add suspense.
7) Revenge of the 'Taker
With this being the 25th anniversary of The Undertaker, he needs to shine at this event. If the WWE changes his battle against The Wyatts to a traditional match, the "Demon from Death Valley" should serve as the sole survivor.
8) Tag Team Turmoil
The WWE tag team division has been revitalized and one stipulation the WWE should dust off from the early days of Survivor Series is the multi-team elimination match pitting all the babyfaces against the heels. The creative team could conceivably have The Dudley Boyz, The Usos, The Lucha Dragons & The Prime Time Players take on the repackaged Los Matadores, The New Day, The Ascension and Bad News Barrett & Sheamus in an elimination tag team bout.
9) Divas Revolution
It's time for the WWE to stop hyping and start showing. It should give Paige and Charlotte 20-30 minutes in the squared circle to show what they can do when the lights are on bright and the Divas Championship is on the line.
10) Surprise, Surprise
Last year, the WWE shocked the world with the debut of Sting. In 2012, The Shield made their main roster debut to take out Ryback in the Survivor Series main event. With this being a Big 4 (at least in theory) event, the WWE could showcase some new talent or bring in a surprise legend a la The Rock to get people talking.
