7 Ups And 9 Downs From WWE Survivor Series 2018

4. Getting Pissed

You have to wonder if AOP thinks they were better off in NXT in terms of big matches. There, they battled The Revival, DIY and others in hard-fought brawls that brought fans to their feet.

As part of the Raw roster, they defeated The Bar at Survivor Series when Sheamus and Cesaro became distracted by AOP’s manager Drake Maverick pissing himself in fear of the Big Show.

Now that is a sentence you don’t think you’d ever type when the night started.

It was played up for laughs, but it’s not like Maverick has been interfering in matches for months and was finally getting his comeuppance. It literally was the first time he interjected himself, because Akam and Rezar have been dominant since debuting.

Instead, Sheamus was blindsided while laughing about Maverick’s accident, and he got powerbombed for the pin. The match itself was fine, but it suffered from the same problem as others: there was no depth to the match or reason for these two particular teams (both heels) to be fighting other than Raw versus SmackDown.
