6 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Nov 17)

6. Fair Play, WWE. Fair Play.

WWE is often accused of rank self-indulgence; Vince McMahon, because he can, tends to please himself. Unfortunately, for the rest of us, McMahon's heroes are bodybuilders and rapscallions.

The build for Survivor Series was as weak as a Shane McMahon worked punch, initially. The #UnderSiege business was a Twitter gimmick masquerading as a storyline. And, despite standing divided throughout the other 11 months of the year (and every subsequent episode of SmackDown), Shane McMahon somehow convinced his roster to invade RAW. A contrived Bragging Rights update with a bizarre all-heel undercard, Survivor Series was going to suck.

But WWE listened to the audience. AJ Styles defeated Jinder Mahal for the WWE Championship, lucking into a dream match in the process. A hasty RAW Tag Team Title win for the Bar created scope for a faction vs. faction dream match between The Shield and The New Day. Charlotte saved us from an immediate double count-out between Alexa Bliss and Natalya. And then, Triple H put the gloss on a megastar-powered main event by Pedigreeing Jason Jordan who, not the first time this year, fell flat on his face.

Babyfaces as champions; McMahon pet projects sent back to whence they came; pure fantasy booking made reality - WWE have played a blinder, and our caps are doffed.
