10 Ideas To Salvage WWE Survivor Series

4. Title Shot

Already, WWE has a PPV where the winner of a big match earns a title match. And the Royal Rumble is probably the second-biggest and second-most important PPV of the year as a result.

So why not have the winner(s) of each elimination match earn a world title match on their respective brand? This would set up a lot of different storylines, with both teams heavily motivated to win so they get a shot at the big championship on their show.

If you have multiple survivors, perhaps they square off in a match the following week to determine who would get the world title match. That would open up the possibility of someone turning on a teammate so they’re eliminated and thus not eligible for the title match. You could see Sheamus hitting a Brogue Kick on Braun Strowman and allowing Kevin Owens to eliminate him rather than have to potentially face him the following night for a world title opportunity.

Once again, there are numerous storyline possibilities here that could be at play where there currently is none.
