WWE Survivor Series 2018 PPV Review

I mean, I’m not expecting it to top TakeOver of course, but I am pretty excited for this PPV. Let’s go ahead and get started.

Date: 11.18.18 / Arena: Staples Center - Los Angeles, CA / Attendance: 16320 / Tagline: N/A

Women’s Survivor Series Match Nia Jax, Tamina, Mickie James, Sasha Banks, & Bayley “Team Raw” def. Naomi, Asuka, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Carmella “Team Smackdown” Sole Survivor: Nia Jax in (20:09)

Bayley and Sasha inserted last second? Okay, I like it

Crowd is hot at first but seems to have cooled down unfortunately

Wonderful Thesz Press off the top rope by Mickie James. What a pro

Dissent between Deville and Rose

GOD THE MARKETING OF THIS SHOW IS SO ANNOYING WE ALL KNOW SMACKDOWN IS THE BETTER BRAND

“Well Cole, you’re an idiot.” GO OFF GRAVES

Backstabber into Banks Statement is a dope sequence

Asuka looking mildly vicious? What’s this?

Nia Jax’s heat is absolutely nuclear. I’m honestly starting to suspect the whole thing with Becky is a work like Jericho says.

Jax & Banks vs Asuka is a sick matchup

Lol yeah Jax throws Banks off the top rope. Imagine not thinking you’re being worked here

Becky Lynch run in?

No! Jax is the Sole Survivor. The fuck?

My Rating [2*] / Daddy Meltzer’s Rating [2.75*]

Seth Rollins pins Shinsuke Nakamura in (21:26).

Fuck, what a cool matchup. Yet another moment where I just sigh and remember how much I love wrestling

Shinsuke rocking the blue, not an awful look! The deep V is hawt

COME ONNNNNNN yess Shinsuke get in this man’s head

The feeling out phase is going on too long here

“Nakamura is also an American hero” yes, Graves, he is. I agree

Absolutely brutal punishment on the outside between both guys

They keep putting over Rollins’ head not being in the match but its not really showing in the match itself

So many fucking rest holds OMG. Both these guys are so dynamic, why is the match so slow?

Rollins dumps Nak off the side aaaaaand the suicide dive! The double suicide dive! The crowd calls for a triple and ROLLINS OBLIGES!

Flying springboard clothesline from Rollins!

A badass spinning kick from Nak

High impact superkick from Rollins...wow, that was brutal

Rollins reverses the triangle hold into a bucklebomb on Shinsuke!

Rollins does the superplex roll-through into Falcon Arrow is super cool but...he does it constantly. always impressive but i knew exactly what was coming when he went up there

Reverse exploder from Nakamura sets up Kinshasa, misses, Rollins counters into a two count

Curb stomp and Rollins beats Nakamura. Cooooooool, man. Not boring or uninteresting at all considering the lack of interference or anything.

My Rating [3.5*] / Daddy Meltzer’s Rating [3.75*]

Sheamus & Cesaro “The Bar” w/ The Big Show def. Akam & Rezar “AoP” w/ Drake Maverick in (09:04).

What the fuck is this match lol. Insane skill on display with the Big Show just standing around.

If they’re putting over Maverick’s ability to make AoP tag champs...are they technically burying Ellering?

Punch, Cesaro, punch away! Again and again!

a pretty sweet double hot tag spot and Sheamus goes ham

Drake Maverick fucking pisses himself, but that’s a distraction and AoP roll up Sheamus after a double team hit. Jesus christ this is so cringey. You could also see Drake grabbing at his crotch to get the gimmick going. Boring with an incredibly bad finish

My Rating [1*] / Daddy Meltzer’s Rating [1.75*]

Cruiserweight Championship Match Buddy Murphy [c] pins Mustafa Ali in (12:19)

Right out of the gates they’re going hard, insane flip by Ali off the top rope and onto the side

And a massive fucking push into the barricade from Murphy to Ali jesus

These guys are insanely good but they probably need two TakeOver type events a year in order to make me feel invested in the stories at all

Some fucking comically complicated and impressive spinning DDT from Ali, holy shit

Ridiculous Spanish Fly by Ali off the table

Vicious powerbomb into sit down powerbomb by Murphy

“This is awesome” chants kick in, and it’s seeming like they’re turning down crowd noise here--I can’t imagine why to be honest

Dope match but Itami / Murphy the other week was better tbh

My Rating [3.75*] / Daddy Meltzer’s Rating [4*]

Men’s Survivor Series Match Bobby Lashley, Finn Balor, Dolph ZIggler, Drew McIntyre, & Braun Strownman “Team Raw” def. The Miz, Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, Rey Mysterio, and Shane McMahon “Team SmackDown” in (23:58)

Already pissed because Balor has to wear a fucking shirt

CHA CHING CHA CHING HERE COMES SHANE O FUCKING MAC

Claymore Kick from McIntyre to Joe and IMMEDIATELY pins Joe. Fuck that. The crowd agrees and chants bullshit.

Shane O’Mac throwing them potatoes at Ziggler lmao

I understand he’s not a great wrestler, but I will never ever understand the vitriol of some of the Shane hate. He’s so fun and so willing to put his body on the line

a pretty great story being told here with SmackDown being able to cooperate and mack up for the difference in size and skill while Raw has insane amounts of power but can’t work together

SHANE MCMAHON OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE ONTO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE YES KING

Such a stiff stomp from Balor he would up falling on top of Miz omg

BALOR JUST POPPING THE FUCK OFF WHAT CHAOS

Mysterio pins Balor, damn

Lashley just fucking up Mysterio

OH MY GOD SHANE ISNT GONNA GO COAST TO COAST ON ZIGGLER BUT HE DOES AND HE PINS DOLPH

SHANE IS NOT GOING TO GO COAST TO COAST A SECOND TIME ON LASHLEY WHAT THE FUCK BUT HE TRIES AND GETS DECKED BY BRAUN ON THE SIDE

Shane is the last one left for SmackDown. Get ready for some bullshit that will make the internet mad lmao

Or...not. Raw just fucking wins. Ok. What the hell. This is dumber than Shane shenanigans.

My Rating [3*] / Daddy Meltzer’s Rating [3.75*]

Ronda Rousey def. Charlotte Flair by DQ in (14:11)

Not smooth or technically sound, really, but absolutely brutal and believable

SPEAR FROM CHARLOTTE ON A FIRED UP ROUSEY GODDAMN

Ronda is really good at selling that leg, I was genuinely concerned at multiple points

RONDA HITS THE PIPER’S PIT THAT LOOKS VICIOUS

Charlotte viciously attacks with the Kendo stick is this a HEEL TURN? A DQ finish but goddamn do i love this

CHARLOTTE WITH THE CHAIR

NATURAL SELECTION ONTO THE CHAIR ROUSEY IS SO FUCKING BLOODIED

THE CHAIR AROUND RONDA’S NECK HOLY FUCK

where were you when Ronda was kill

such props to Ronda for taking this beating

All of a sudden Rousey looks very mortal and I love it

My Rating [4.25*] / Daddy Meltzer’s Rating [4.25*]

Brock Lesnar pins Daniel Bryan in (18:43)

So...is Bryan gonna win via Heyman screwjob? Because the commentators keep putting over how Lesnar is absolutely guaranteed to win

Bryan just fucking around with Lesnar lmao

“I’m...legit concerned for Daniel Bryan” -Renee Young

Lesnar just fucking ragdolling Bryan

Bryan is “out”

yeesh...just what the fuck

REVERSAL WHAT THE FUCK

THE YES LOCK

Lesnar wins. I can’t believe I let my hopes get up. Fuck.

My Rating [4*] / Daddy Meltzer’s Rating [4.5*]

Overall PPV Grade: B

One of the better main roster PPVs of 2018, Survivor Series had an incredibly strong card despite the loss of Becky Lynch. The SS matches themselves were a mixed bag but overall enjoyable, and Bryan vs. Lesnar as well as Flair vs. Rousey tore the fucking house down. Really solid stuff.

2017 WWE Conflict of Champions outcomes, recap, grades: Did Daniel Bryan lastly flip?

Whereas the construct towards WWE’s last pay-per-view card of 2017 was nothing wanting pedestrian, Sunday’s Conflict of Champions card delivered above expectations as a complete. AJ Types exited his second full-time 12 months in WWE as the corporate’s high champion following an thrilling primary occasion towards Jinder Mahal, and a pair of multi-person matches that opened the cardboard produced drama and power in entrance of a sizzling Boston crowd.

However the greatest reveal popping out of Sunday was additionally essentially the most anticipated storyline coming in as Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon proved unable to coexist as referees. Ultimately, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens retained employment and a powerful cliffhanger was created heading into Tuesday’s SmackDown Stay episode concerning whether or not Bryan’s actions have been that of a heel flip or just the blue model’s common supervisor standing up for what’s proper.

Both approach, it has our consideration because the sluggish construct towards WrestleMania 34 continues.

2017 WWE Conflict of Champions outcomes, grades

Mojo Rawley def. Zack Ryder through pinfall (Kickoff Present): Rawley continued to construct his intriguing heel persona on this grudge match following the implosion of the Hype Bros.

After the match, Corbin minimize a promo on Ziggler backstage saying, “I did not squander something, I used to be cheated” earlier than throwing a rubbish can. Grade: B

Two refs too many? Basic supervisor Daniel Bryan was proven backstage asking a referee jersey that regarded prefer it was made for Earthquake be returned for a smaller measurement. Commissioner Shane McMahon then walked up and gave Bryan the enterprise for inserting himself into the primary occasion as a second referee. The 2 then agreed they might work out find out how to name the match collectively as each need to be within the ring concurrently.

Tag Crew Championship — The Usos (c) def. Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin [via pinfall], The New Day and Rusev & Aiden English to retain the titles in a Deadly Four-Approach Match: For as hectic and messy as this match was all through with 4 (and typically eight) males within the ring directly, it positive was enjoyable. A collection of sturdy performances late from the likes of Chad Gable and Rusev helped save issues total.

Jey Uso adopted with a splash off the highest rope for the 1-2-Three. Grade: B

As anticipated, the lumberjacks performed a key function in continuously beating Aptitude outdoors the ring (whereas performing because the cushion for Naomi’s springboard splash and Charlotte’s moonsault). After chaos took over outdoors the ring late, Aptitude countered a sharpshooter try to use her Determine Eight for the tapout win. Afterwards, Natalya fought again tears as she berated the viewers for disrespecting her. The promo felt like a heel flip, and the truth that it was delivered by somebody who was already a heel summed up the missing high quality of this match. Grade: D+

Backstage — The Singh Brothers: The duo minimize a promo stating that Jinder Mahal is so poised to win again his WWE championship from AJ Types that he does not even want their assist in doing so. Requested by Dasha Fuentes whether or not meaning they will not be a part of him at ringside, the brothers mentioned she must see for herself.

The Bludgeon Brothers def. Breezango through pinfall: The Harper and Rowan squash tour continued because it took them mere minutes to beat down Breezango outdoors the ring earlier than hitting their finisher on Fandango. After the match, each heels repeated the quick promo they ship every week on SmackDown promising carnage. Grade: D

Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn def. Randy Orton & Shinsuke Nakamura through pinfall: McMahon and Bryan have been each particular visitor referees. If Owens & Zayn misplaced, they might be fired from WWE. The vast majority of the time on this match was spent build up the storyline, which made it really feel lengthy and typically dragging match. Fortunately, the story — on this case — was a superb one because the frustration between dueling referees McMahon and Bryan slowly elevated. With their counts not in sync and every taking part in favorites, McMahon determined to attract an imaginary line within the heart of the ring so that they did not bunch. It is a technique, after all, that went out the window late.

In a match largely dominated by relaxation holds, Owens delivered one of the best spot when he hit a working frogsplash on the announce desk on Nakamura. Shortly after, Orton hit a DDT and RKO on Zayn contained in the ring however McMahon’s pin depend was interrupted after Owens pushed Bryan into him. McMahon received revenge when he refused to complete his depend on Zayn’s roll up of Orton. Tempers flared as Bryan and McMahon argued and pushed one another. The end got here when Zayn blocked an RKO and rolled up Orton, permitting Bryan to depend a fast three earlier than a diving McMahon may break it up. With the victory, Zayn and Owens had their jobs saved. Take into account this an uneventful match with an awesome story that, whereas informed a bit clunky down the stretch, nonetheless set the desk completely for what’s to come back subsequent. Grade: B

WWE Championship — AJ Types (c) def. Jinder Mahal through submission to retain the title: For a feud that had grown stale and seemingly went on for a month too lengthy, Types and Mahal saved their finest for final. In reality, Mahal put for the best effort of his primary occasion run. In a match that was booked much like Types’ basic with Brock Lesnar at Survivor Collection, Mahal bodily dominated all through the primary half. However Types’ eventual rally introduced dramatic close to falls and a slowly constructed electrical energy from the gang. The Singh Brothers made their presence felt late by saving Mahal from a 3 depend after Types hit a springboard 450 splash. That is when chaos ensued.

The end got here when Mahal tried to mock the Types Conflict finisher however A.J. reversed out of the it right into a calf crusher and compelled the previous champion to faucet within the heart of the ring.

Types was at his finest right here, serving to elevate Mahal to an awesome match. Contemplating how a lot he has delivered to shut the 12 months — producing high shelf pay-per-view matches towards Finn Balor and Lesnar in losses — it was additionally good to see him win a giant match once more. Whereas Mahal’s experiment as champion produced just a few vivid spots and positive elevated him, seeing Types enter 2018 with WWE’s high championship marks a return to much-needed sanity for the blue model.
