5 reasons WWE has already done a good job with Survivor Series 2017

#4 Changing bad matches

...And NEW

With the exception of the elimination matches and the reported Usos vs. Shield match, the Survivor Series card just looked bad when it was first announced. The Miz vs. Baron Corbin looked decidedly lacklustre. Alexa Bliss vs. Natalya looked like a great bore. Brock Lesnar vs. Jinder Mahal looked like one of the worst matches of the year in the making. Then to top it all off, they had to add yet another rematch between Enzo Amore and Kalisto for the Cruiserweight Championship to the mix.

After this week's RAW and SmackDown, things look completely different, and it's wonderful.

While the much-hyped Usos vs. Shield match looks like it won't happen, the Usos vs. the Bar should be almost as good. The title change also looks like it will set up a dream match scenario in the Shield vs. the New Day, so, on the whole, it's been a big net positive.

Most notably of all, last night gave us what we've begged for six months - Jinder Mahal dropped the WWE Championship to AJ Styles, setting up another dream match between "The Beast" and "The Phenomenal One". If Brock Lesnar is motivated, this could turn out to be one of the best matches of the year. It's night and day from what had prevailed before.

We might even just see another title change next week, as Charlotte will have an opportunity to take the SmackDown women's championship from Natalya in her hometown to set up a match better clash between women's champions. Let's hope WWE bucks its trend of having superstars lose in their hometown. A match between Charlotte and Alexa Bliss would be a much better scenario.

In the meantime, the two elimination matches have mostly filled out, and both of their rosters look stacked.

Sure, the Miz vs. Baron Corbin and Enzo vs. Kalisto will still suck, but one or two matches at a WWE event always will. The bottom line is that those scenarios now look to be the exception rather than the rule, as every other match on the final card should be at least good.

One almost gets the feeling that WWE has been scrambling to make changes to the Survivor Series card because they realized it was so bad, but this time it should be commended, and this leads us to the final point.
