5 different booking decisions that should've been made in the Survivor Series main event 

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura as the sole survivor

This man needed a big win here

When Shinsuke Nakamura signed with WWE, there was both immense joy and immense concern. The former came from fans happy that one of the most charismatic stars in the world was finally in a WWE ring. The latter came from people worried that WWE would somehow screw up Nakamura as a wrestler and as a character.

After tonight, WWE did both of those things. Nakamura, a man who wowed audiences in NXT and was one of the best wrestlers in the world in Japan, has been made a fool of on SmackDown and needed a significant victory to shift his image among fans. Here, Nakamura was the first man eliminated in the Survivor Series match, which is a far cry from where he should be.

This is a man who could very easily become the new face of SmackDown and should’ve actually been the sole survivor in this match. Not only would it have sent the fans home happier than how they actually are (the closing of the show was very deflating), but it would’ve also been the perfect counter to how poorly Nakamura has been treated on SmackDown, especially after suffering several high-profile losses to Jinder Mahal.
