10 Match Star Ratings For WWE Survivor Series 2019

10. KICKOFF: Cross-Brand Tag Team Battle Royal

It comes to something when one is appreciative of Dolph Ziggler purely for wearing a colour-coded cap. His sartorial choice helped clarify the stakes, but since there were no actual stakes, this was a confusing version of a match that is confusing in itself for the first five minutes.

The Forgotten Sons were eliminated almost immediately, but hey, at least WWE remembered to put them on the card. This is actually progress for what is just the weirdest premise for a gimmick of all time: if the Forgotten Sons weren't going to do something to make you remember them by within months, the act was only ever going to envelop itself in irony. This Forgotten Sons analysis is driven by the specific dread that comes with reviewing a meaningless battle royal, because what else is there to say beyond "Some boring and slow elimination teases and punches happened, and none of it remotely mattered"?

Dolph Ziggler skinned the cat about a million times. If he does it a million more times, there still won't a be a soul alive who will compare him to 1995 Shawn Michaels. Robert Roode devised a fairly interesting elimination.

Remember when he won the RAW Tag titles with Dolph Ziggler because Paul Heyman "wanted to do something with him"?
