10 Problems WWE MUST Solve Before Royal Rumble 2022
2. Give Survivor Series Stakes!
Survivor Series is a great concept.
The idea of two teams colliding and having to rally allies and maybe form fragile alliances with former rivals could make for an incredibly interesting. However, WWE have decided to lumber it with the "Brand Supremacy" concept for the last few years. While some of the matches have been stellar, the logic behind the show is completely flawed.
With the Draft happening in October and Survivor Series slotted into November, it means that some stars have just a month to build up their brand loyalty before going out to fight for its honour. It makes no sense!
There is one simple fix for this issue. The winning team at Survivor Series ensures that their brand has the last 10 slots in the Royal Rumble match, therefore increasing the likelihood that the Rumble winner will be of that brand. It is staring them straight in the face and they still haven't managed to give Survivor Series stakes.
As the stop gap before the Royal Rumble, Survivor Series needs to have some sort of implication. If not, WWE should scrap the concept entirely.
