5 things the WWE must do at Survivor Series to rectify their slip up at Hell in a Cell

#4 Going all the way with every match and making deserving Superstars shine:

Both these performers have exceeded exceptions but need their moments to shine

There had been rumours about the WWE’s initial reluctance in having Sasha and Charlotte close the Hell in a Cell show. While the match was groundbreaking on two levels, one of the two had been ignored altogether.

It was heavily promoted as the first Hell in a Cell match featuring female performers, yet, as the first of its kind to headline the pay-per-view, it was caught in the reeds of indecision. Whatever this might be indicative of, the results are for everyone to see.

Survivor Series 2016 requires the company to give it the full measure, irrespective of a match’s position on the card.

If clumsy writing and hasty decisions can make performers of Sasha and Charlotte’s pedigrees flounder, one can imagine the momentum that would entail a ten-person elimination match with almost no buildup and thus, no stipulated consequence (except outdoing their teammates), to fall back on.

This leaves the WWE with the sole option of promoting the 5 on 5 matches on every medium possible. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the ten-man tag elimination match move to the front of the card, despite the showmanship of some of its participants.

Considering the thriving popularity of some of the talent on both shows, this could be an opportunity to exhibit their chops, make them stand out in the melee and set up possible feuds. Performers who have been excellent on their respective brands, such as Alexa Bliss, Cesaro and Naomi, should be allowed their moments, while also staying true to their characters.

Lone forces such as Nia Jax and Braun Strowman, disgruntled with a team dynamic, need to be booked accordingly.

A four-hour long event containing not more than five matches, (thus far) is going to be teeming with spots and bookable turns. If written with such factors in mind, instead of solely focusing on the end spectacle (main event), both matches which had a probable chance of being passable could end up being entertaining and engaging by several degrees.
