10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 2012 Facts
9. The Pre-Show Match Was Changed Several Times
The pre-show match for Survivor Series 2012 wound up with 3MB members Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal defeating Santino Marella and Zack Ryder. There wasn't much to note about the match, save for Drew McIntyre returning from a brief time away following the death of his mother to be at ringside.
The match actually went through a couple of switches before taking this final form. Originally, the match that took place was what was planned, but later in the week, WWE slotted Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd onto the babyface side. Presumably, there was a plan to put Marella and Ryder into the actual pay-per-view opener. Plans changed once more, and WWE went with their original design come Survivor Series night.
