5 things the WWE must do at Survivor Series to rectify their slip up at Hell in a Cell

With Survivor Series live up to its fantastical booking ? 

#1 The question of an interference:

Triple H’s interference and attack on Seth Rollins won’t be a viable idea during the Survivor Series match.

Seeing how the 5-on-5 matches are without any storyline support, an interference can never harm the tension of the match. However, Triple H’s intrusion does not logically stand, since it is a Raw versus Smackdown bout, and would not further his personal interests, as he had exemplified by the swerved ending of that one episode of Raw.

While his return was anticipated at HIAC, there is no ground for Creative to rectify that, by having The Game interfere and take out Rollins at Survivor Series. One point, though, can be made, that Triple H turns on Kevin Owens himself, apparently dissatisfied with his Championship run.

However, that wouldn’t find a place beside the brewing and inevitable Jericho-Owens feud, later on.

The Undertaker is slated to appear on the SmackDown Live! episode before Survivor Series. While this could be a basic commemorative move to draw audiences, given how The Dead Man made his debut at Survivor Series 1990, his presence on the show could also set in motion his swansong at WrestleMania 33.

A feud with the Wyatts and Randy Orton can be speculated, as Bray Wyatt seems to have assimilated The Viper into his Family, against Kane. The last time Orton squared off against a part timer, his head was split open with elbow shots. Therefore, feeding him to another part timer would be a poor idea.

As for The Undertaker assisting Team Smackdown to a victory, it would be a wastage of Superstar power, and leave a lot to be desired from the consequences of such a booking.

However, with Lesnar’s F5 on Shane McMahon (who had earned Taker’s respect at Mania, last year) still fresh on everyone’s mind, there is a slight possibility of The Undertaker interfering in Brock Lesnar’s brawl with Goldberg. This would earn Goldberg a win, albeit not a clean one, leading him to fight a few more matches before retiring for good.

With WrestleMania a good six months away, The Undertaker’s return in an active capacity needs to be accounted for. Rehashes are not especially welcome, so there are a number of ways other than a Lesnar feud by which Taker’s part-time presence can affect the blue brand.
