10 Things WWE Must Do At Starrcade 2017

1. Allow Blood (At Least In The Grudge Match)

The Greensboro Coliseum's Twitter page is advertising Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens as a special 'Grudge Match' at Starrcade. You've backed yourselves into a corner here, WWE, because now we're expecting some blood on 25 November. It probably won't happen, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't.

Owens and Zayn are almost impossible for WWE to keep apart. Think back to Battleground 2016 and you'll recall that the Zayn victory on that pay-per-view was supposed to be the last match we'd see in the company between former friends. That was the branding, at least, but now both guys are on SmackDown and will meet again at the revived Starrcade.

Blood isn't part of the WWE product in the PG era, but seeing some claret flowing during Zayn vs. Owens would sell the hatred between the pair brilliantly. If WWE aren't willing to let it happen, then Sami and KO may have to 'accidentally' bust one another open on the night.

Watch Roddy Piper vs. Greg Valentine from Starrcade 1983 for an example of what this needs to be.
