Survivor Series Fall Out - RAW 11/21 & SD LIVE 11/22

Survivor Series Fall Out

Thanksgiving can really mess up one’s week, can’t it? Mine only gets more hectic. With my ‘real work,’ work during Thanksgiving week skyrockets. I watched RAW on time, but only finished SD LIVE last night (Sunday).

That is why I am posting my commentary as a double bill Survivor Series Fallout.
There wasn’t much in the way of Fall Out to be truthful. The stories coming out of Survivor Series are basically the same ones going in. Seth Rollins hunting for the Universal Title, Dean Ambrose hunting for the World Title, Ellsworth doing whatever and Goldberg . . . sigh.

RAW COMMENTARY

Well, last week I wrote that I could write it is RAW!!! And write about how good the show was. This week, we went back to Really Average Wrestling. That is what last week’s show was, really average. We started out in 1998 with Goldberg and slowly made our way to 2016.

The last hour saved it from being a disaster of a show. The triple threat cruiserweight match was excellent. The main event stole the show, almost. Rollins and KO tore the house down in a No DQ match, with Jericho banned from ringside.

KO would win the match after Jericho interfered coming through the fans wearing a Luchador mask. This lead to a KO powerbomb and win. Seth once again failed, and the Best Friends reigned supreme.

They take away from this RAW were:

• Rich Swan will now face Kendrick for the Title on Tuesday, 11/29 on 205 Live, after winning the triple threat match.

Tonight’s RAW 11/28 will feature TWO Title Matches.

• The first will be New Day versus Gallows and Anderson (Same story heading into Survivor Series).
• The second will feature Charlotte versus Sasha Banks (Same story before Survivor Series)
• The final takeaway (and the least) is Goldberg’s announcement that he will be in the Royal Rumble. Apparently Goldberg now has a longer TV and PPV deal with the WWE. Goodie.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
Oh Good. Goldberg is sticking around. This is perfect for moving forward, creating new talent and giving opportunities to people that haven’t had any. Yeah NEW Era!

RATING: 4

SD LIVE 

Smackdown was better than RAW, but not by much. It might be the weakest SD Live since the split.

It followed a similar path that RAW did in the fact that nothing new coming out of Survivor Series happened. Except for Tag Team Turmoil, nothing storyline wise changed.

Okay, one big take away, Ellesworth now has a WWE Contract! Yes, he won it (and a future title shot) by beating AJ in a ladder match in the main event in which Dean Ambrose interfered. (That never happened before (third time)).
Baron Corbin and Kalisto continued their feud when Kalisto attacked Corbin during a match (same as before Survivor Series).

Dolph and Miz will battle once more at the upcoming TLC for the IC title (same as before Survivor Series).

Redundant, isn’t it?

Tag Team Turmoil was the high point, with American Alpha earning a title shot against Beauty and the Man Beast at TLC. At least that is good.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
RAW Like.

RATING: 5
