5 Biggest backstage rumors following Survivor Series: Locker room divided over issue, Reason behind top name's surprising absence, Vince McMahon not happy

#1 Original plans for the Universal Championship match

While Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt managed to put forth a spectacular match at Survivor Series, a match between the two former WWE Champions was not always the plan.

As per Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer, the original Universal Championship match planned for Survivor Series was The Miz vs The Fiend. However, it is a good thing that WWE decided to change the plans as reports state that said match between the A-Lister and The Fiend would have been a squash match with Wyatt walking out victorious without much effort.

While The Miz certainly wouldn't have posed much of a challenge to Bray Wyatt, the fans would not have taken kindly to a complete burial of the former WWE Champion. While The Miz was not part of any match at Survivor Series, his backstage segment with Daniel Bryan leads fans to believe that the Must-See Superstar will somehow get himself entangled in the on-going feud between Daniel Bryan and The Fiend.
