7 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE Survivor Series 2017
1. Triple Bloody H
Ugh. Just... ugh.
Six days after inserting himself into the Survivor Series main event, Triple H completely dominated proceedings. He was in and out of the ring throughout, engaging in oddball exchanges with Bobby Roode and Shinsuke Nakamura, but nepotism didn't take hold until the last five minutes, when the match devolved into another twisted McMahon family drama.
The first swerve came when Hunter nailed team-mate Kurt Angle with a Pedigree, then draped a limp Shane McMahon over his General Manager for the elimination. Triple H appeared to aid his brother-in-law moments later, but no: he nailed Shane with his finisher, winning the match for his side, before suffering a decisive post-match beating at the furious Braun Strowman's hands.
WWE set up three individual storylines for 'The Game' during this spell. Meanwhile, Nakamura, Balor, Roode, Cena, and Orton left with nothing. It was exactly the kind of spotlight-hogging booking we've come to expect in such situations, but that doesn't make it any less disappointing, particularly with such a star-studded line-up.
Still, at least he gave us this gem.
