WWE Survivor Series 2019: 10 Things That Must Happen

6. Both World Title Matches Are Kept Short

If WWE learned any lessons from Crown Jewel, it's that both their current World Champions are best deployed in short bursts. Brock Lesnar's MMA background makes two-minute efforts like the one against Velasquez palatable, and Bray Wyatt's 'Fiend' is best-enjoyed in moderation rather than excess.

His interminable 21-minute brawl with Seth Rollins to close out the Saudi special proved that.

There's really no need for Lesnar vs. Mysterio or Wyatt vs. Bryan to go longer than 10 minutes apiece. WWE know they've got a ton of content elsewhere on the show to work with, and they should be mindful of fans yawning their way through any Rey or Bryan title challenges. Those guys don't deserve that.

Bryan's crack at Wyatt is only chapter one, and Mysterio is a place holding challenge for Brock. That means both matches would benefit from brevity, especially as both are also likely to be stuffed into the midcard glut somewhere.
