5 burning questions we have after WWE Survivor Series 2017

#3 Why didn't the Traditional 5 on 5 Men's Elimination match live up to expectations?

The match just had too many narratives to cater to

Unlike most other matches on the card, which were generally restricted to a manageable number of narratives so as to let the action flow, the Men's elimination match just had too many eggshells to tread around.

For instance, they had to make Braun Strowman look like a monster. They also had to build on the animosity that was teased between Triple H and Kurt Angle when the Game attacked Jason Jordan and replaced him as the fifth member of Team Raw.

Apart from that, they had to keep the SmackDown vs Raw "under siege" angle going by having Shane at the centre of it all too.

Couple all of these narratives with the fact that they had to make Nakamura, Balor, Roode and Joe look strong despite not featuring any of them in the finish and throw in the Sami-KO interference spot too.

That will probably give you a clearer picture about why the main event seemed so overdone and convoluted.

To be honest, the WWE did book themselves into a corner on this one.
