#1 Worst: Depriving fans of a dream match

The Shield vs. The Usos could have been quite cool
It's quite amusing to see how many of the Champion vs. Champion matches taking place at Survivor Series are heel vs. heel contests. Whether it is Alexa Bliss vs. Natalya or The Miz vs. Baron Corbin, or even in certain ways Jinder Mahal vs. Brock Lesnar, there's not a pure babyface in sight.

Therefore, the matchup that is The Bar vs. The Usos is in many ways, a disappointment. Not because the match will not be a good contest because it certainly will. It's just that the fans will have a difficult time rooting for one of the teams because of the lack of heat that is present.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
We wonder if the titles will switch hands again on the go-home episode of RAW before Survivor Series, next week. Or if we're going to get yet another dream feud.
In any case, The Bar and The Shield had a great match and it was a good way to cap off the night.
