WWE has a lot of decisions to make at Survivor Series but there are also some ways they could go that they might be best serves to ignore. After all, not all ideas are good enough to go with. Sometimes a bad idea can sound great in your head. But you never know what WWE will do this year in an attempt to shock and awe us all.
You can follow Sportskeeda's live updates and coverage of Survivor Series 2017 right here.
So let's take a look at five things WWE really should stay away from when considering their booking at their big annual November Classic.
#1 Asuka looks weak
WWE has done a pretty good job making Asuka look strong since debuting on the main roster. She had a couple of challenging contests with Emma before WWE axed the Emmalution in surprising fashion and since then Asuka has been fed enhancement talent on Raw.
But with her insertion into the Survivor Series style Women's Elimination Match an interesting problem is poised. Unless Asuka ends up as one of the Sole Survivors at the end of the match she needs to be taken out of action somehow.
If she suffers her first clean loss in a Survivor Series match people might try to say it doesn't matter because it's not a singles match. But there would still be an asterisk next to the running total of wins she's accumulating.
Since Dana Brooke and Asuka seemed to start something on Raw last week it might be possible for Brooke to come down and level Asuka with a chair (or something similar) to take her out of the match. But whatever happens, Asuka still needs to be booked as strong as possible because a Survivor Series match shouldn't be where Asuka experiences her first real taste of defeat.
#2 Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are kept off the show
It would be a shame if Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were written out of Survivor Series but it very well could happen. These two were on top of the world involved in the hottest angle on SmackDown LIve one minute and the next they were pushed to the wayside making room for Shane McMahon's overzealous involvement in Survivor Series.
I understand why McMahon would focus on the Big Four PPV, but Owens and Zayn deserve attention too. It seems that they've been reduced to a comedy duo role in recent weeks. If you add in getting sent home early from the recent WWE European tour, you've could have a recipe for something unfortunate.
If "The Prizefighter" and "Underdog From The Underground" only pop up in the midst of a backstage segment and don't see their time actually in front of the live crowd it would be a huge loss.
But let's face it, Survivor Series could be a huge show so there's always a chance the two former NXT Champions could always be placed in a spur of the moment match against Breezango or The Bludgeon Brothers.
#3 Carmella cash in
As tempting as it might be to have both WWE Women's Champions down on the mat, Carmella must control herself and not cash in her Money In The Bank contract. It could be a perfect timing and provide a huge stage to pull off such an epic surprise. However, since James Ellsworth's release, it just seems like it might be too soon.
Of course, that could be exactly why WWE goes ahead and has Carmella steal a title. But the real question is which one would she go after? If Carmella swoops in and dethrones Alexa Bliss instead it would certainly be a moment to talk about.
After all, the Money In The Bank premise has been in existence for longer than this brand split. So someone might need to check the WWE Rulebook on that one. If Carmella covered both Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss thus winning both brand titles and unifying the belts to create one WWE Women's Champion who travelled between brands it might be even more interesting. This idea worked for the WWE Undisputed Championship for a while until Vince McMahon just decided to change it up out of nowhere and crown Triple H the WWE Heavyweight Champion.
But in all honesty, The Princess Of Staten needs to hold onto her briefcase a little longer so she can have some legs with her Money In The Bank gimmick after Ellsworth's release.
#4 Triple H appears for no reason
Triple H was apparently a last-minute addition to Survivor Series but there's probably a plan for him to come back eventually and work WrestleMania. After all, Triple H loves WrestleMania and everything that comes with it like his insane entrances resembling the Terminator movies.
Therefore it would be a wise move for Triple H to use this opportunity in the ring to hint at who he intends on colliding with at the Show Of Shows. And at this point, there are many candidates and a few of them are in the men's Survivor Series match.
Whether Triple H winds up feuding with Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, John Cena, or Jason Jordan something needs to move in that direction at Survivor Series. After all, Triple H doesn't get dressed up in his wrestling best very often so they might as well make it matter.
#5 John Cena is a sole survivor
John Cena is very popular and the kids love buying his merchandise but that is no excuse to have John Cena exist in this match until the final bow. It is possible for John Cena to suffer a loss in a match and put someone else over. WWE doesn't book him to look weak very often, and if it ever does happen then there needs to be a purpose.
So why not have Jinder Mahal do something at Survivor Series after all? Since losing his WWE Championship to AJ Styles, "The Modern Day Maharaja" has been off the television and somewhat silent. They took him off the Survivor Series poster like it's always been AJ Styles vs Brock Lesnar. But just because he lost his title doesn't mean Mahal's challenge to face John Cena at WrestleMania isn't still valid.
Mahal could come down and cost John Cena a spot in this match. Or better yet, he might send The Singh Brothers down to do something for him. However it happens, John Cena really needs to be taken out of this match. After all, four of the ten participants in this contest are part-timers, so more of a focus really should go to the full-time performers for once.
That being said, I'd like to leave you with a portion of a novel I'm working on called: "True Stories From Kayfabed Lives":
"Hi my name is John Cena," he said with a cracked yet confident deep voice as he rose from his tiny plastic chair.
"Hi, John" the group of people echoed as they sat in the circle he was also a part of.
"I'm John Cena, and I'm addicted to being put over," Cena said as he began his story of how he defeated the entire Nexus.
