WWE News & Rumor Roundup: Controversial gimmick to end? Ex-Champion unhappy with Brock Lesnar's return, Charlotte Flair's message to Toni Storm (November 28, 2021) 

#2. WWE Survivor Series reportedly ranked lower in Google searches compared to AEW All Out

Many fans felt that the buildup to this year's WWE Survivor Series event was lackluster. As per the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this has been reflected in terms of overall interest as well.

Despite being a 'Big Four' WWE pay-per-view, it reportedly drew just 200,000 Google searches, which is less than AEW All Out's 500,000.

Survivor Series celebrated The Rock's 25-year-career this year. However, the Hollywood megastar didn't appear at the event due to another filming commitment. Instead, Vince McMahon made a rare on-screen appearance for an angle related to The Rock's new Netflix movie, 'Red Notice.'

Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair was one of the main selling points of the show as a result of them having real-life heat against each other, whereas the brand supremacy premise had little hype behind it this year.

Meanwhile, All Out 2021 featured CM Punk's highly-anticipated return match, as well as the AEW debuts of Minoru Suzuki, Adam Cole, Ruby Soho, and Bryan Danielson. The event also received critical acclaim for its overall quality and newsworthy impact.
