Survivor Series Stips

By Scott Keith on October 31, 2016

> Hey Scott,

> With the upcoming Survivor Series being mainly focused on Raw vs SD with the Main/Tag/Women Series matches, I find myself thoroughly underwhelmed. In the past, the "battle for bragging rights" has been weak, amounting to nothing cuz Smackdown wins didn’t mean crap in the long run making them anything other than the 2nd Brand.

> What do you think if they made the show have a stipulation where a brand winning a match gets them a lottery pick for a new person joining their brand? I’d say "winner picks", but then it makes no sense why they wouldn’t pick the opponents champion or main star(s). With a lottery, there’s at least the aura of mystery & giving the matches stakes.

> I’d like them to find unique ways to "trade" people over, and they already wasted the expiring contract one on Jack Swagger… Thoughts?

I like that idea. Gives it real stakes that fans can understand and relate to. Steph and Shane battling for BRAND SUPREMACY is some 1%er bullshit, rich white people battle to be richer. Maybe there’ll be a TROPHY again, oh goodie. If fans can maybe see Cena drafted back to RAW, that’s a real thing.
