7 Things WWE Survivor Series 2017 Got Wrong
6. Foxy Box-in
WWE found an interesting solution to the problem they'd caused themselves in making an absolute mess of the Monday Night Raw women's division. Requiring five credible forces to make up the red ranks to take on the SmackDown Live! lot, the company made weakest link Alicia Fox the captain of the team.
It was equal parts shrewd and stupid. She rarely wins, but didn't have the weight of a high profile defeat Mickie James carried from her loss to Alexa Bliss. She isn't that good in the ring, but she's better than Dana Brooke. She hasn't got the experience of Emma, but she wasn't bizarrely released a month ago.
For all the things she wasn't, she had to be on the team. And thus she was captain. And thus she was 'crazy'. And thus she was exposed.
The Women's elimination match was largely sensational, well-paced and orchestrated to offer shine to most competitors doing battle and present credible threats for Asuka to overcome in her victorious home straight.
The lone catastrophe was an exchange between Alicia Fox and Naomi, which looked like...well, most of the the women's division when Alicia Fox and Naomi were two of the only ones around. The 'Glowing' former SmackDown Live! Champion largely proved herself earlier this year, implying where the bulk of the fault had to lie.
WWE only had themselves to blame. Or Emma, somehow.
