Ranking Every 2017 WWE Pay-Per-View From Worst To Best
7. Survivor Series
The Good: The star power in the main event was legitimately exciting as a spectacle...before the bell rang. Fortunately, the company had already delivered another match of the year contender just minutes earlier. Brock Lesnar Vs AJ Styles represented a total reinvention for 'The Beast' as a monster that actually had to work at flattening his foe for a change. 'The Phenomenal One' was at his peerless best in this one. Intra-brand Champion clashes between The Usos and The Bar and Charlotte and Alexa Bliss were very enjoyable indeed, and a subtle reminder of how beneficial the brand extension can be when the roster rules are actually adhered to.
The Bad: Whilst not actively awful, The Shield and The New Day's show-opener may have been somewhat overwhelmed by the expectations placed upon it. The trios were outworked by their respective brand opponents later in the show, and the contest lacked a spark most assumed would be in-built. Baron Corbin's match with The Miz was desperately dull, but had little chance of being much else.
The Ugly: The Raw Vs SmackDown Live! main event was one of the most diabolically-booked outings in recent memory. Protecting all the wrong people at the expense of those that desperately need propping up in a star-laden environment, the egos of Shane McMahon, John Cena and particularly Triple H were prioritised in the place of anything else. Braun Strowman himself seemingly only survived to set up a programme down the line with 'The Game'.
