WWE did a great job until the end of Survivor Series! Here is what were ups and downs of the PPV
#1 Worst: A disappointing Kickoff show
Ad
Certain segments of the Kickoff show lacked logic
There was a gaping hole in logic during the WWE Survivor Series 2017 Kickoff show. If the whole purpose of the pay-per-view was to pit one brand against another, why was Matt Hardy from RAW taking on Elias from RAW? Why were Zayn and Owens taking on Breezango from SmackDown Live?
Nothing of any real significance happened during the Kickoff show, and in many ways, if one had gone straight to the main card, they would not have really missed much. It's a shame that talents like Rusev and Tye Dillinger could not even make it to the Survivor Series Kickoff Show.
Owens and Zayn took far too long to defeat Breezango as well. It was a lopsided and pointless match, with no real storyline consequence.
The match between Kalisto and Enzo Amore was also extremely botchy indeed. Kalisto even botched his leaping entry into the ring, as he got entangled in the ring ropes. It was quite hilarious!
