5 mistakes WWE has made with Survivor Series this year

#5 Lack of continuity

Team Raw?

Similar to last year’s Survivor Series, even arch-enemies will forget and put aside their rivalries for the sake of being on Team Raw or Team SmackDown. This year is no different. Crown Jewel, Evolution and even the RAW and SmackDown episodes that followed those major events, showcased or debuted some pretty intense rivalries… rivalries that we, as the viewers are now expected to forget for a couple of weeks and then pick up again once Survivor Series is done.

Ruby Riot has just started an intense rivalry with Natalya, with the basis for the rivalry involving the recent passing of Natalya’s father, WWE Legend Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, but for Survivor Series they have to be partners.

Finn Balor is on a team with wrestlers he has been competing with on and off for the past year. One of these rivalries intensified moments before Finn was asked to be part of the RAW team, with none other than the duo he was just fighting with.

AJ Styles is supposed to just forget about losing the title to Daniel Bryan for a couple days until Survivor Series is done? There's possibly more to this, like an injury we haven't been told about yet. The concept of RAW vs SmackDown is great and should make for great storylines, but instead, the WWE has been lazy with booking the event.
