Ranking Every WWE Survivor Series From Worst To Best

The Good: Team Mysterio/Team Del Rio Survivor Series is alright, and is one of the only decent things on the card. Natalya and LayCool have an impressive handicap battle over the Divas Championship in something of a lost classic from the doldrums of the division.

The Bad: John Cena's acting in the deathly dull Randy Orton/Wade Barrett main event was absolutely pitiful. His failure to commit to his time as a Nexus prisoner in 2010 was nearly as big a crime as his SummerSlam squashing of them all earlier in the year. Even when they were winning, they were losing - Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel defeated Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov that played out to virtual silence.

The Ugly: It's easy to say WWE of today is no different from how it was nearly 20 years ago, but the dross peppered throughout this show speaks to some huge changes over the last decade. Daniel Bryan tries and fails to force something fun out of Ted Dibiase in the opener, John Morrison defeated Sheamus in a Raw midcard match people had to pay for and Keval blew his NXT Season Two title shot in a failed Intercontinental Championship match with Dolph Ziggler.
