7 Match Star Ratings For WWE Survivor Series 2020
4. Bobby Lashley Vs. Sami Zayn
What do you do?
Do you just say "F*ck it," further damage the prestige of the midcard championships, and arbitrarily switch them around for the sake of a better dynamic? Is it worth doing that for a single match that goes under eight minutes?
WWE has done this before, for the World Title no less, but at least in 2017 and 2018 those matches were exponentially better and or fresher than those originally scheduled.
Do you - and hold onto your d*ck, because this new wavelength of thought might shake you up - meticulously plan the show months in advance to arrive at a match that isn't impossible to make good and, at the same time, does not affect the creative on the respective brands?
Or do you realise that the respective midcard titles are each held by heels, and accept that Bobby Lashley Vs. Sami Zayn is probably going to be a bit warped and a bit sh*t?

Zayn cowered, stalled, and attempted to draw a disqualification from the Hurt Business. He looked like a geek. This was the worst possible version of a Bobby Lashley Vs. Sami Zayn match, which would have ruled, had Zayn played the frantic, spirited underdog babyface. He didn't. But the match, which stood no chance, had to happen because both men held a midcard title in November.
What do you do?
What you do is you bury the the damn pay-per-view six feet under the Performance Center, and see it off with a hologram of William Regal.
