Ryback is pinning Punk. Only way he can go over Punk clean, with Punk keeping the title.

[Deleted]

Ryback gets DQ'd or something. Punk will be the sole Survivor.

[AliciaFox#1fan4life]

I'm not too impressed with the Survivor Series team. It would be cool John Cena would be in it or at least doing something else besides fueding with Ziggler.

Thoughts?

[King Silva]

Ryback will be the sole survivor most likely.

The match should be good.

Survivor Series is one of my favorite PPVs so I hope it is a good show overall.

[Phantom]

I'm not a fan of Punk being in the Tag Match. He should defend his title at the event he won it at last year. Him vs. Orton would have been fine with me. Oh well, the tag match should be interesting. I'm sure Ryback will be the Sole Survivor and wind up beating everybody on the team. Anyway here's how the card will probably pan out...

Traditional Tag Match

WHC Last Man Standing
Sheamus vs. Show

Cena vs. Ziggler

US Title Match
Cesaro vs. ?

Divas Title
Eve vs. Kaitlyn (I guess)

#1 Contenders for the Tag Team Titles

Wade better not be left off again

[Triple S]

Ugh. That's literally all I can say.

Yea same here. I was hoping for something new tonight. But it will do

[Barney Stinson]

After a lot of the feuds were inserted into the main event of Survivor Series, still leaving some names out, I was thinking, could they do a traditional Survivor Series this year with all team matches? All they would need are 3 or 4, 5 on 5 team matches because they could easily go 30 - 45 minutes each. Also it would be like a throwback to the old school Survivor Series and a nice change of pace. I'm not saying this should be the card, but based on who's around now I could see the rest of the card shaping out like this.

Team Cena v. Team Ziggler
Cena, Truth, Ryder, Santino & Clay v. Ziggler, Cesaro, 3MB

Team Sheamus v. Team Big Show
Sheamus, Rey, Cara, Gabriel & Khali v. Show, Barrett, Tensai, PTP

Team AJ v. Team Vickie
AJ, Kaitlyn, Fox, Layla, & Tamina v. Vickie, Eve, Aksana, Natalya & Rosa

Random Undercard or Preshow match
Kidd, Uso's, Tatsu & Dibiase v. Epico, Primo, JTG, Otunga & McGillicutty

There could be guys returning from injury, debuting and what not. I think a traditional Survivor Series could be kind of cool

[k5]

is it selfish of me to be happy that it's a classic team match so there is no questioning punk losing his title for another month? muahaha

[johnnyaustin21]

Man O Man what a let down on those two teams.I was getting pretty hype for see Mick Foley back in a match and having a little interaction with CM Punk,only for him not to be in his own team that he's the captain of ala Austin for Team Austin in '03.

I predict hear and now that Team Foley will get eliminated and leave just Ryback to go 1 on 5 with Team Punk,only for Ryback to eliminate all of Team Punk and end up the solo survivor.


I am think that the card will shack out as,


Team Foley:Ryback,Orton,Kane,Bryan and Kingston .Vs Team Punk:Punk,Miz,ADR and Rhodes Scholars

Big Show .Vs Sheamus-World Title

John Cena and AJ Lee .Vs Dolph Ziggler and Vicky Guerrero

Antonio Cesaro .Vs R-Truth-US Title

Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara .Vs Prime Time Players

Eve .Vs Kaitlyn-Divas Title



If this or something close to it is the card I am going to pass.Look weak as hell with the only bright spot being Big Show .Vs Sheamus in a rematch for the World Title.

[T1]

Yea really, there's literally nothing they could do now to prevent this from being a weak card. Also it looks like Cena's back to being the main event (vs. Ziggler??) because I really doubt the tag match will close the show. I could already tell I'm not gonna like this ppv.

[Mr Wrestling Jr.]

Really looking forward to this event! A traditional Survivor Series Tag Team Elimination Match will actually main event Survivor Series! Who'da thunk it!

So we got:

Traditional Survivor Series Match
Team Punk: WWE Champion CM Punk, The Miz, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, & Alberto Del Rio with Paul Heyman and Ricardo Rodriguez vs. Team Foley: Ryback, WWE Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston, WWE Tag Team Champion Kane, WWE Tag Team Champion Daniel Bryan, & Randy Orton with Mick Foley and maybe Vince McMahon.

I'm also gonna go with:

World Heavyweight Championship Match
World Heavyweight Champion Big Show vs Sheamus

Singles Match
John Cena vs Dolph Ziggler

WWE United States Championship Match
WWE United States Champion Antonio Cesaro vs Justin Gabriel

#1 Contenders Match for the Tag Team Championship
Prime Time Players vs Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara

Singles Match
Wade Barrett vs Christian? They both the World Title, have a match to see who's better and might get a Title shot.

Possibly a filler match
Six Man Tag Team Match
3MB vs Team Cobro and The Great Khali?

[Sami Hazard]

Ok so with everyone in that match, it leaves

Cena vs Ziggler - hopefully with even a cheap win over Cena they can really start building up Ziggler to cash in

Big Show vs Sheamus II - a given

Mysterio/Cara vs 3MB maybe? - they have been doing tag team matches on PPV lately

Eve vs AJ or Kaitlyn - divas match, don't really care but I do like AJ and Kaitlyn

Cesaro vs R-Truth - with Miz and Kofi in the 5v5 and after what happened on Raw, this seems most logical

Also Wade Barrett and Justin Gabriel have been featured on TV frequently but this leaves them with nothing to do. Maybe they'll throw them together into a feud on Smackdown leading up to a match between them.

[J12]

Not at all bothered by Punk not defending the title. It locks in the 365 day reign and (could have) made for an interesting match-up.

The problem is how uninspired the teams are. We're looking at Hell in a Cell part 2 in tag team form. The reveal was just awful - how painfully obvious would it be that each man on the team would be the other;s opponent from the night before?

To me, this match could have been the PERFECT opportunity to cash in on Ziggler. Not literally in the sense of the Money in the Bank, but the chance to make him a solidified star and do it without ruining anybody.

Put Cena on Foley's team. Ziggler on Punk's. Ryback plows through most of team Punk, finally gets Punk in the ring. Now, it seems blatantly obvious that Ryback will pin Punk clean, so we need a bit of a swerve.

We're down to Cena & Ryback vs. Punk & Ziggler. Ryback finally gets Punk in the ring for the first time. Ryback gets incredibly aggressive with Punk, who provokes him in one way or another, and as a result, gets himself disqualified. Ryback continues his assault regardless and hits the Shell Shock on Punk. Cena shrugs it off, pins Punk, and we're down to one on one.

Punk rolls outside and we presume he's left. Ziggler and Cena go at it. Heyman tries to run interference but Foley takes him out. While the referee is distracted by Heyman and Foley, Punk slides in the ring, nails Cena with the title, Ziggler gets the 3 count.

Ziggler beats Cena. Punk rekindles his rivalry with Cena. Ryback looks like a monster. Then, you can go whatever direction you want at TLC. Punk/Ryback, Punk/Cena, Punk/Cena/Ryback, Punk/Cena/Ryback/Ziggler.

Genius.

When (some, anyway) fans can come up with such good stuff while the creative team does the most predictable, uninspired thing possible, all it says to me is that there are no true WWE fans on that creative team...

[Jack.]

People can complain as much as they want, but those teams are stacked and there is not a weak link in either team, I'm really looking forward too it.

[Scott!]

Can't wait to see if Ryback goes over on punk, I think he will you know. Punk will have officially been champ for a year after SS, that's impressive in itself.

[Infinite]

Not too psyched about this tbh. Cena/Ziggler seems like it's going to be all about Vickie/Cena/Aj instead of Dolph, which is who they should be focusing on, while I've somehow lost any and all interest in Ryback pretty quickly. Doubt I'll watch, even if it is a 'big 4' event (although in fairness SSeries always seems to be behind the other three).

[BCizzle]

I wish they had spread out the talent amongst several Elimination matches rather than jamming all the feuds into one big match. Now the rest of the card is gonna be pretty weak, and I don't now if were are going to get more than 1 Survivor Series Match.
