Time to admit something: before Becky Lynch was forcibly removed from her match with Ronda Rousey, that one had this entry sown up. Lynch vs. Rousey was the most exciting prospect at Survivor Series, and it was the best choice to headline.

Not anymore.

Daniel Bryan's shock WWE Title win on SmackDown gives his match with Brock Lesnar the advantage over Rousey vs. (Becky's replacement) Charlotte Flair. This is a bonafide fresh one for WWE, and it should be given proper spotlight as this Sunday's closer. It's unlikely anything would be able to follow Brock vs. Bryan anyway.

There's always a big fight feel to Lesnar's pay-per-view matches, and they carry a violent undertone nobody else can match. Add Bryan's malevolence on SmackDown and old underdog quality to the mix and you have one seriously bad-ass recipe for excitement.
