7 things that need to happen at Survivor Series

#6 Shane McMahon avoids turning into a villain

McMahon threatens to fire whoever loses the finals of the World Cup

If there is one thing that has proven to be unpopular in recent years, it is villainous characters making authority decisions to benefit themselves. From the likes of John Laurinaitis, Stephanie McMahon and currently Constable Corbin, none of them have proved that WWE Universe will support or even be remotely interested in their decisions.

In fact, it is evident from the weekly shows that the WWE Universe prefers a friendlier or fair person in charge (e.g, Daniel Bryan, Paige, or even William Regal for NXT). With the ongoing power struggle on Raw slowly shifting in Baron Corbin’s favor following Kurt Angle’s humiliating loss to Drew McIntyre, the WWE should strike a balance by avoiding both weekly shows being run by villains.

Shane McMahon’s recent appearances have been questionable at best to the WWE Universe. In recent weeks, he has threatened to fire someone from the SmackDown roster if they didn’t win the World Cup from Raw at Crown Jewel only to randomly insert himself in the finals of the same tournament against Dolph Ziggler, who already fought twice earlier in the night. The suggestion is that he is slowly going from his much-loved character to the spoilt brat character when he joined The Corporation or having purchased WCW from under Vince McMahon.

For fear of too many similarities between the weekly shows, WWE need to avoid this – especially at Survivor Series, and especially whilst Corbin and Stephanie McMahon still have a stranglehold on Raw. If Shane was to turn on anyone from the blue brand, all it means is that the brand warfare of the last two years effectively counts for nothing.

Shane and Stephanie have constantly said that wrestlers need to put their own personal feuds aside to protect their brand but if Shane decides to attack anyone for whatever reason, then brand warfare will not be a possible option for any future Survivor Series pay-per-views while Shane is still in power.
