Look back at every WWE pay-per-view this year, from Royal Rumble to TLC, at least one match stood out as the probable main event. Survivor Series can't claim that. Will it be the feeble Jinder Mahal vs. Brock Lesnar match that headlines the show, or will it be the main Team Raw vs. Team SmackDown traditional elimination match which goes on last?

Also, just what roles will Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon fill at the event? There are more questions than answers right now, and that's worrying because we're just over three weeks out from Survivor Series actually happening. Questions wouldn't be a problem if WWE looked at all like answering them, but they don't.

Raw seemed to tease that Angle and Shane might wrestle at some point, or perhaps even captain their respective sides. Both are babyfaces though, so it doesn't make much sense. WWE writers, if you didn't know it by now, you have a job on your hands to make this pay-per-view worthwhile.
