7 Best Ways For WWE Title Tournament At Survivor Series To End
2. John Cena And The "New Corporation"
Stay with me on this one. It goes somewhere good. Survivor Series would be the best time to pull a total company overhaul, bring back Vince McMahon, turn John Cena heel, kick off a Vince-led "Corporation" and try super-hard to give the company a huge boost. How this is done is actually quite simple. Vince McMahon opens this Monday's Raw and says "I'm back." What's funny is that Triple H and Stephanie had NO IDEA Vince was coming until they saw his limo at the building. Vince says, "I know," and glares at Hunter and Steph. He then proceeds to bury the Authority, and says that he has tons of angry stockholders AND the brass at USA Network who want Vince to come back and "SAVE" WWE. He then says that he's going to use his corporate power and take ONE spot in the tournament for himself. He tells Steph and Hunter to "book the rest of the damned thing, but I know JUST the guy to save the company. " The next week, Vince promises to bring out a "returning multimedia superstar" who "electrifies the screen" and is a "beloved crowd favorite." Stone Cold's glass shatters, then the entrance screen shows "BATISTA," and the returning star turns out to be Batista, who Vince says ISN'T the man for the tournament, and they proceed to talk for 15 whole minutes about the Bond film. The crowd turns on Vince, and surprisingly when Triple H calls the segment "BORING" gets a pop. We get to Survivor Series, and the man scheduled to face Vince's mystery man is The Miz. When it's time for the match, Miz's music plays, and instead we get the camera headed backstage where Batista is clearly laughing to himself as the camera shows Miz laying on the floor in a pool of blood. Vince then walks out and says he's not introducing the mystery man yet, and that the fans will have to wait until the semi-final round. Triple H comes out and says to Vince that this is BS, and that he's a bad guy, but this is really worse than anything he ever did. Again, the people cheer. The semi-finals see Dean Ambrose hit the ring, and then we hear "No Chance in Hell" play as Vince McMahon strolls to the ring. He stops in the aisleway, and Dave Batista's music plays. Batista comes out, then gets in the ring, too. The two of them begin to bury the fans, and we see a forklifht has been moved in front of the Authority's office door. Back in the ring, Batista is challenged to an impromptu match by Dean. Batista takes off his suit jacket, and just before the ref goes to signal for the bell, John Cena's music hits. Cena sprints to the ring without stopping for the camera, slides in, stops, stares at Ambrose, stares at Batista and Vince, and then the three of them begin to beat down Dean Ambrose. Ambrose is stomped to the outside by Cena, who then looks at Vince, and shakes his hand. Vince and Batista raise Cena's hand, and it's obvious that Cena is Vince's mystery guy. The match starts, and a clearly weakened Ambrose is beaten very quickly by Cena, who's getting good heat. Roman Reigns wins the other semi-final, and Cena vs. Reigns is set in the main event of Survivor Series. The main event of Survivor Series is a fiasco. Reigns comes out first. Then, out comes Vince and Batista. This is followed up by The Miz, who's walking fine and douses himself with stage blood in the middle of the ring, calling himself the "best actor ever." This is followed up by Vince saying that the "New Corporation" is here, and that he has THREE MORE MEMBERS to introduce. Out walk Team Bella, and suddenly the ring is filled with Vince, Batista, The Miz, Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox. They do a GIANT entrance for John Cena, who slowly walks to the ring in boots and tights, then enters the ring, gets up on the turnbuckle and throws up the "hustle, loyalty and respect fingers," smirking. Roman vs. Cena is a straight up match until Cena locks Roman in the STF, and then Vince cockily tells the timekeeper over the microphone to "ring the damn bell." Match is over, Cena's the champ, and the show ends with Roman Reigns attempting to fight back, but he gets sprayed in the face with mace by Nikki, then eats a Skull Crushing Finale from Miz, and the show goes off the air with the heels doing Cena's "you can't see me." So many directions to be had from there...
