7 Things WWE Survivor Series 2017 Got Wrong
1. Big Match John
When even Chris Jericho isn't quite a nimble enough performer to work the drop-in/drop-out schedule without a few clangers, John Cena doesn't stand a chance. It's never been more evident than in his last two 'Big Four' outings. SummerSlam saw him work pressure-free in an opener against Baron Corbin, but his destructive burial of the 'Lone Wolf' required actions from far more versatile professionals such as The Miz on this card to rebuild the fallen NXT graduate.
Here, he was far more useful in the poster for the event than he was in the five-on-five elimination clash itself.
Cena Attitude Adjusted opponents for fun rather than function, sneaking victory over Samoa Joe but engaging in little other than ordinary exchanges alongside Randy Orton and a decidedly under-thought back-and-forth with Kurt Angle.
Looking a welcome returnee in his Royal Rumble clash with AJ Styles way back in January, Cena has been toxic on the big shows since to such a degree that his No Mercy 'torch-passing' to Roman Reigns left the lamp firmly in his neon-clad grip. If he enters the stratosphere alongside Brock, Triple H, The Rock and (shudders) Shane McMahon, the future isn't half as bright as the green t-shirt THAT DIDN'T MATCH HIS TEAM'S VERY VERY APPARENT COLOUR SCHEME.
