Survivor Series Who should be in the tournament

[The GOAT]

Sheamus has no business being in the WWE-WHC match at SS, imo. He has the MITB briefcase and that's his guarantee he'll have a one-on-one match with whoever becomes the next WWE-WHC, Reigns (presumably).

Wyatt will be busy with Team Taker. I don't see him in the WWE-WHC match.

Disagree on both accounts. It would make perfect sense for Sheamus to enter the tournament, since it gives him two opportunities to become WWE Champion. If he fails to win the title, he can still cash in on the champion at the end of the night. If he wins the title and then loses it sometime before his MITB contract expires, then his briefcase provides him with backup to immediately regain it back by cashing in on the champ right after the match is over. Same logic as Rollins challenging for the WWE Title at the Rumble this year, or Edge entering the Gold Rush tournament in 2005 despite both of them already being Mr. Money In The Bank.

And on the second point, they might still do the Wyatt Family vs The Brothers of Destruction (since they likely would prefer it if the Undertaker actually performed at the 25th anniversary of his debut instead of just making an appearance there), but I'd personally play up Wyatt bragging about exterminating the Undertaker and Kane for good a little while longer and have Bray enter the tournament, and then have Taker (and possibly Kane, too) make his return there and cost Bray the match.

The only way I'd be fine with Sheamus being in the tourney is if he lost there and then attempted to cash in his MITB contract later and failed, too.

Meh, I'd rather have The Wyatt vs Team Taker, than have Wyatt enter the tourney only to add another loss on that long list of his.
They need to settle the score at SS. It's Taker's 25th anniversary, he should perform at SS.

I agree with it but that's so weak

Thats the 16 best and most likely WWE has to offer right now. I think Roman vs Dean would make the more interesting main event. But Kevin Owens would make the best champion

I don't think they have Kevin Owens as both champs and but Idk what's gonna happen bc I do think dean gonna turn on Roman but how

James Storm being in the tournament for the WWEWHC has about as much chance of happening as Slater did answering one of Cena's challengs.

This is literally the saddest post I've ever read on here. :

Apart from me misspelling challenges, haha. Yeah though, all those tweets and post RAW promos, but he couldn't even get a chance when Cena was on Smackdown. He can barley get an appearance on UpUpDownDown anymore. Unless he loses ofc.

 

[Snowman1]

Hahaha, yeah, that was the perfect way to throw a bone to us nerds who actually watch the Youtube page. Imagine the pop we would have! :haha:

Shoot, imagine how great it would have been had he won the US Title? Whether it's "Cena didn't take him seriously" or "Cena was burned out after all these matches" or even a run-in, Slater could have been MADE.

On-topic: I'm working on it! Sheesh! Don't rush me! lease:

 

[Snowman1]

lets see here...

-Roman Reigns as already #1 contender
-Dolph Ziggler as an upper midcarder
-Cesaro because Cesaro
-Bully Ray because who really wants to see Ryback in here anyway
-Dean Ambrose because he should win it dammit
-Neville because he's come SO CLOSE
-R-Truth because I like the gimmick of them always sticking R-Truth in random things
-Kalisto because seeing him go on an underdog run sounds like fun
-Mark Henry because someone needs to save Raw's ratings
-Bray Wyatt because if you don't put him in he'll use the force on you
-Kevin Owens because he can feed his family some pretty nice steaks as a dual champion
-ADR because he can zzzzzzzzz
-Stardust because when he was staggering down the road, some purple mist he saw told him he would win the title here
-Bo Dallas so Cesaro can Cesaro the shit out of him
-THE DEMON KANE who turned heel again out of thin air
-and then the last spot goes to Rusev... dammit he's hurt too isn't he... *looks up and down the list*... Sheamus? I'll pass... Big Show, that's worse... King Barrett? Lmao... uhhh Konnor of the... fuck it Fernando

There is like a 99.9% chance of Roman winning this so... Meh does it really matter? so long as they put on good matches.

 

[Mr. Roman Empire]

Well, at least RAW will be somewhat interesting on Monday. This weeks was absolutely terrible.

Hell, it's so predictable that a shocking upset of Roman at Survivor Series could be a big moment. :O

But also, the Dusty Classic was mostly "predictable" and we all enjoyed that. The tournament on Raw was predictable and we enjoyed that...

I'm just happy WWE saw this as "This tournament worked and people liked this episode of Raw? Lets do another one!", which is a nice breath of fresh air of their usual booking strategy of beating lame shit into submission.

 

[Prince Bálor]

I want WWE to swerve us in a good way at Survivor Series.

I've already posted this in this thread, but whatever.

Could you imagine Cesaro, whom everyone would assume either a first round drop out or not taking part in it at all, WINNING the whole thing?
'I NEED TO GRAB THE BRASS RING, EH? I JUST FUCKING DID!!!'

But, knowing how lame WWE can be, their version of SWERVE will probably include Sheamus who lost earlier in the tourney, cashing in at the end of the night and beating Reigns. BECAUSE WHY NOT. I hope I'm very wrong about this, but given their booking patterns, it wouldn't surprise me if Sheamus ended up walking out the new WWE-WHC. *puke*
