4 subtle things you might have missed at the Survivor Series

This was definitely a shocker.

Survivor Series is finally behind us. While the booking of the show was puzzling like most of the WWE Pay-Per-Views, the quality of most of the matches was top notch, for instance, Shinsuke Nakamura and Seth Rollins had a great match, the tag team Survivor Series classic elimination match was fun to watch, the dream fight between Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair, and the Cruiserweight Championship between Buddy Murphy and Mustafa Ali was nothing was short of excellent.

However, the match of the night was between the Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and the WWE Champion Daniel Bryan. Daniel pushed Brock to his limits but still failed to win the fight.

The entire show was like an episode of Monday Night RAW as RAW was the superior brand for all the parts of the show except the kickoff.

The event was filled with noteworthy moments like Shane McMahon almost delivering a second coast-to-coast, all crazy spots from the Ali V Murphy match, and many more.

Also, there were many blink miss moments throughout the show that you might have missed. Here are 5 things at the Survivor Series pay-per-view.


#1 Enzo Amore making an appearance through the crowd.

Not a certified entrance.

Amore was let go from the company earlier this year. Enzo crashed the Survivor Series event at the Staples Center and got the fans to chant for him at the show in the middle of the Tag Team match between Authors of Pain and The Bar.

The Staples Center has now banned Enzo from entering the building. This is unprofessional behavior on the part of Enzo.

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura hinting a face turn

Survivor Series saw 'The King of Strong Style' Shinsuke Nakamura taking on the 'The Architect' Seth Rollins in a Champion V Champion bout. The in-ring performance by both the superstars was solid as usual, but the match looked weak at times due to its insufficient build up.

After the match, The Heel Shinsuke Nakamura possibly hinted a face turn as he bowed to Seth Rollins while walking in the ramp which Seth acknowledged subtly. This taunt could be a hint that Nakamura might be turning face in the future.

The Blue Brand currently lack credible faces, and Nakamura can be the guy to fill the void. While his run as a heel at the start was impressive but has started to become stale with the lack of faces in the Smackdown roster, and this turn could help revive the career of Shinsuke.

#3 Brock Lesnar works better with the little guys

Not often a Brock Lesnar match is the best match of the night. The last time this happened dates back to Survivor Series 2017 where he faced off against AJ Styles.

The newly crowned WWE Champion went toe-to-toe against 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar in a Champion versus Champion bout. In the opening minutes, the match looked like any other Brock Lesnar squash match, but with the low blow from Daniel, things started to pick up.

Bryan nearly tapped out Lesnar to a Yes Lock, but eventually fell prey to the F-5. This match proved that Brock works better with the little guys more than the Monsters. The David vs. Goliath story arc was extraordinary. This is what worked the year before when he faced off against AJ Styles.

This match can open gates for many such bouts in the future. A Finn Balor versus Brock Lesnar is one such match that can happen.

#4 Becky Lynch was the most over Wrestler despite not featuring in the show

The Man is the hottest act in WWE right now.

Originally Becky Lynch was scheduled to face the RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey in Champions Versus Champion themed match, but due to the untimely injury that she suffered at the hands of Nia Jax, Charlotte Flair replaced Becky in this match.

Charlotte fighting Ronda is a Wrestlemania caliber match, it also saw Charlotte attacking Rousey using the kendo sticks, and the steel chair. The in-ring quality was top class, the storytelling was great, and the drama was excellent, but Becky was the chant from the crowd throughout the match.

'The Irish Lass Kicker' is the most over wrestler in the whole roster, and WWE has already acknowledged it, but needs to take this to a higher level. A Wrestlemania main-event featuring Becky Lynch is something that fans dearly want.
