6 Observations From Attending WWE Survivor Series Live

3. Hometown Disadvantage

Part of the consideration for having an event of this magnitude in Canada had to include all of the great Canadian talent on the roster. Current WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Sami Zayn, Natalya, Tyler Breeze and even Brock Lesnar call Canada home.

On this night all of these competitors shared more than just a common heritage, they shared the dubious honour of finishing their nights looking up at the lights. At the end of the evening all Canadian competitors had lost on home soil. I suppose if you wanted to get into further detail Canadian Maryse ended up on the winning end of her husband's bout but it's still shocking that at the end of the evening there were no hometown victors.

In fact there were very few big moments for any of the local talent. Kevin Owens had a quick DQ and exit from the Survivor Series match, Breeze was eliminated in seconds, Brock was sqaushed, Natalya had an uneventful evening, Chris Jericho drug his team down and Sami Zayn failed to procure the intercontinental championship. All in all, this was a tragic night indeed for Canadian talents and their supportive fan base.
