7 Ups And 9 Downs From WWE Survivor Series 2018

5. Women’s Match A Total Disappointment

For all the hype that the women’s division has rightly received in recent years for being light years better than it was five years ago, there still are plenty of hiccups and backslides, and Sunday’s women’s Survivor Series elimination match was one of them.

The match was nothing special, almost entirely a fast-forwardable affair that featured a double countout and a rollup pin immediately after another pin eating one-third of the eliminations. The action was fairly pedestrian and unmemorable, even though fans clearly wanted to get into the match.

It’s really a shame, because the elements were there for things to click and produce a good match. Asuka was crazy over, but she ultimately served as cannon fodder. Sasha Banks always gets a good reaction, but she didn’t really get to stand out too much aside from her spat with Asuka.

Not every match can be a home run, but we should be well past the point of a women’s 5-on-5 match being this disappointing.
