The Natural Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Two weeks away from Survivor Series and no matches yet to be announced. Good job It's the only time of year when RAW and Smackdown go head to head! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Well internally WWE thinks survivor series is the least important big ppv. At one time they wanted to get rid of SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job It's the only time of year when RAW and Smackdown go head to head! Maybe they just figure fans are left to piece it together on their own*, plus no 5 on 5 this year. *I doubt this, given how much the fed likes to spoon-feed narratives to the audience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 The Observer said something about them feeling after they pushed Crown Jewel so hard they need to take a couple weeks to establish the new brand rosters and are going to wait and do a big push for Survivor Series the last couple weeks.

RIPPA Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 The men's elimination match will pit Raw's Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, Rey Mysterio & Dominik Mysterio against SmackDown's Drew McIntyre, Jeff Hardy, Xavier Woods, Sami Zayn & Baron Corbin. In the women's elimination match, Raw's Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Carmella & Zelina Vega will face SmackDown's Sasha Banks, Shayna Baszler, Shotzi, Natalya & Aliyah. The entire RAW team just joined the RAW side at the Draft Additionally 3 members of the SDL men's team are new and half of the women in their match are brand new to their side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 You'd think in 2021 it just meant Covid. But I wouldn't think that requires such secrecy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Lmao. Just a random generator and announced on Twitter? No story line at all? Fuck this show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Moose Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Rey, Dominik and Seth on the same team -- something tells me they won't to see eye-to-eye. Aliyah ... I mean, good for her, but will the crowd have any idea who she is? It feels like she's being set up to falter. Also unfortunate that Naomi, Toni and Doudrop aren't around.

The Natural Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Good on Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio putting aside the eye for an eye for something more important in brand supremacy. Edited November 7, 2021 by The Natural 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 The two biggest names left out of the Men's side are Kofi and Lashley. Though I'm guessing one of the Mysterios will probably "get injured" and replaced by Lashley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I feel like Kofi getting "injured" at the hands of Reigns is an easy setup to add more to the story of the Big E/Reigns match (if SDL was an indication of the start of that story) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eoae Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 20 hours ago, RIPPA said: This is the exact line from the WON Well, the other comment Meltzer made when he first reported the story was "he will probably scream about it at some point...." So I'm guessing AJ doesn't think he needs to sit out. I'm guessing COVID, but that's just my guess. WWE was asking talent not to admit they have Covid on social media, but they've been fairly close-mouthed about injuries in general recently. I don't have any reason to think AJ is an anti-vaxxer, but it wouldn't be a shock to find out that the Southern boy from GA is unvaccinated. I like AJ a great deal as a performer. but if he is refusing vaccinations and has Covid for the second time, I'd be wondering if it wasn't time to part ways with him. Wiki says he is 44 and AJ has claimed his current contract will be his last with the WWE, so he's probably about done with the company one way or another. That women's 5x5 match at SS looks horrid. Lol, I'd probably be actively dreading it if I was planning to watch the show. Fortunately..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 So, is it a given that Charlotte and Becky will happen or will one of them drop the title before then. The crowd is going to be so Pro Becky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 The lack of stakes is maddening. Why would anyone in the world care if Raw or Smackdown wins. Just make it so the winning side gets #30 in the Rumble and find some way to have the winning team compete for it (best way would be a Round Robin tournament that would take up big chunks of your December TV). This isn't rocket science. Instead they just do nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
