2016 is currently in its twilight. It has been a roller coaster year for WWE and one of the last major stops for the company would be Survivor Series. As the last pay-per-view in the 'Big-four' category, Survivor Series comes in with a lot of hype and this, in turn, adds pressure on the shoulders of WWE creative to deliver.
This importance coupled with the historic significance makes Survivor Series a pay-per-view where careers could change, making it the ideal platform for superstars to shine. There are a handful of superstars on the current WWE roster that deserves a better booking heading into the show and in this list; we are going to take a look at them.
#5 Nia Jax
The women’s division of Monday Night Raw is going through a revolutionary period. Charlotte and Sasha Banks are set to be the first female performers to wrestle under the Hell in a Cell stipulation and they could even main event the pay-per-view as well. However, the problem is: the division is highly dependent on Sasha and Charlotte now.
Hell in a Cell matches are supposed to be the blow off of major feuds and the war between Charlotte and Sasha should be ended at the show itself. This leaves the Women’s division wide open for someone new to step up and challenge for the title.
Nia Jax comes in as a solid candidate. She has been booked strongly so far and with a traditional elimination match to take place at Survivor Series, Nia could shine brighter.
#4 Sami Zayn
Finding pure baby faces in the wrestling business these days is a hard task. Almost every good guy out there has a shade of grey. Sami Zayn, on the other hand, belongs to that rare breed of performers that stand close to a pure baby face. He is incredibly hard to hate and it is just sad that WWE has not cashed on this factor yet.
His NXT run was a memorable one as NXT realised this and booked him accordingly. The Kevin Owens feud on the main roster also brought out the brilliance of Zayn, but it cooled down.
As Survivor Series is a place where heroes are born, Zayn could get a rebirth. He could be the last survivor and before that, he could get a strong booking on the road to the show.
#3 Baron Corbin
After making a smashing entry into the main roster by winning the Andre the Giant battle royal, Corbin was mostly limited to the mid card. Before the brand split, Corbin was lost completely but his situation has improved after WWE went on full brand split mode.
Currently a member of the SmackDown roster, Corbin had been enjoying on and off pushes lately. But the thing to be noted here is: he has improved drastically over the past few months.
Corbin now deserves a shot at the main event and with SmackDown desperately trying to create new stars for the roster, Corbin could just be the answer to their questions.
#2 Bray Wyatt
The main event scene of SmackDown has been banking heavily on the popularity of names like AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, John Cena and to an extent, Randy Orton.
The need to create new stars at the main event level is alarming and this is where Bray comes in. Bray has been a victim of poor booking for ages now and it was only recently that he started gaining some ground.
The return of Luke Harper has helped Bray big time. It is now time to take things to a different level and give Bray the booking that he deserves. He has enough potential to be either the top heel or top baby face on the brand and it would be up to WWE to give him the right path.
#1 Bayley
As mentioned in the Sami Zayn slide. It is hard to find pure baby faces in the business today. While Sami is close to being a pure baby face, Bayley is the epitome of this kind. She is so good outside and inside the ring, making her the best babyface that WWE has at their disposal at this moment.
Similar to Nia Jax, Bayley has been overshadowed by the feud between Sasha and Charlotte. But unlike Nia, Bayley has a proven track record of being on the top. She knows what it takes to be a champion and also knows how to carry big matches.
While Sasha and Charlotte make history at Hell in a Cell, Bayley should get what she deserves after the pay-per-view: A strong booking heading to Survivor Series.
