5 reasons why Jason Jordan would have been a better choice for Survivor Series than Triple H

Jason Jordan was removed from the Survivor Series team on the go-home RAW to Survivor Series

Jason Jordan was added to the RAW Men's Survivor Series team by his kayfabe father Kurt Angle. Although he begged and pleaded, he ended up taking a pedigree from The Game, and the initial fan reaction was positive.

This was because many fans felt that Jordan stood out as a weak name among the star-studded teams of RAW and SmackDown Live.

However, after the main event of Survivor Series, there was a big negative fan response at Triple H's role in the match. Despite the fact that The King Of Kings is a 14-time World Champion, his role in the match only watered it down and led to a very bad finish and a sour taste in the mouths of fans.

Despite being the youngest and least experienced out of all the superstars, Jason Jordan would have been a far better choice than Triple H for the Survivor Series team, and here is why.


#5 - Fresher, younger faces makes the match better

The part-timers did not help the match

Last year at Survivor Series, both teams were filled with entirely younger talent and fresher faces(with the exception of Shane McMahon). Even Chris Jericho played his role well. The two teams put on a 53-minute clinic of a match and it's arguably the best Survivor Series elimination match of all time.

This time around, things were different. John Cena was in last-minute thrown together role and his presence in the match was almost unfelt altogether. Shane McMahon and Triple H didn't do any favours occupying the roles either.

Jason Jordan's presence in the match would undoubtedly have enhanced the match, even if he were not to last for long. It also helps give some fresher faces.

#4 - Huge chance to get over with the crowd

Jason Jordan hasn't gotten the best reception since the Kurt Angle storyline

Let's be real: Jason Jordan hasn't gotten a good babyface reaction since the Kurt Angle illegitimate son storyline. In fact, on an episode in Toronto on August 7th this year, WWE had a Quebec City jobber come out so that people would boo him and cheer Jordan.

However, the crowd instead started booing Jordan and chanting "Let's go jobber". You can watch the clip below:

Now, we're not saying that Jordan would've had to be the sole survivour, but even if he were the first to be eliminated, a convincing performance with possibly an elimination would've possibly changed the crowd's mind about him.

WWE definitely missed the boat in this regard. If they wanted to get Jordan over as a babyface, this would have been one such opportunity.

#3 - Heel turn and storyline potential

Jordan could make a great heel

If not getting over as a babyface, a spot on the Survivor Series team would've been a golden opportunity to turn Jordan heel and make him the most hated person on the RAW roster.

There could be a number of scenarios. The most obvious one would be turning on Kurt Angle and set up an eventual WrestleMania 34 match, where Jordan could even retire his father.

Another option would be if Jordan were the sole survivour, but instead of it making him a bigger babyface, he turns into a cocky heel who takes all the credit for winning the big one for team Red. Also, playing into the nepotism angle more would definitely get him good heat.

Jordan as a corporate champion-type superstar would benefit him in a huge way. He has the look, the skill and the calibre of a cocky heel superstar.

#2 - It would have avoided a flat finish

Braun Strowman's expression tells the whole story

The fact of the matter is, the Survivor Series main event finish was really bad. It was terrible seeing a 47-year old Shane McMahon be the last man standing on Team SmackDown while Triple H hogged all the glory. The only good thing that came out of it was Strowman getting to destroy Triple H and send the crowd home happy.

If Jordan were there in the match, this kind of a finish wouldn't be possible in any way. Triple H ended the match in the most...Triple H way possible.

This led to a sour taste in the mouths of many fans, criticising the finish for being flat and completely underwhelming for a match of that calibre.

Even if Jordan were eliminated early, it would have prevented such a flat finish.

#1 - Would have elevated his status as a mid-carder

Jason Jordan is in the infancy stages of his push

Whether you like it or not, Jordan has all the potential in the world. He looks like a main eventer, wrestles like a main eventer and has all the tools for it. Right now WWE has been taking it slow with his push, and rightfully so.

Having a spot on the Survivor Series card didn't necessarily need to shoot him into the main event spotlight, as it's much too soon. However, it would have boosted him to the upper-mid-card level and by 2018 he would be ready for a full-fledged main event spot.

However, unless they've got something big planned for Jordan heading into WrestleMania 34, it's important that they keep the pace of his push slow, steady and organic. I really hope that he succeeds, because he is a worthy talent deserving of that success.
