WWE Survivor Series 2016: 5 things we learned

WWE know how to swerve the audience, especially on big PPVs

#1 WWE know exactly how to stir controversy

Goldberg vs Lesnar stirred a lot of controversy among the fans

Whether you agree with the Goldberg vs Lesnar finish or not (I don’t), there is no arguing that it stirred a ton of controversy and mayhem on social media, with fans either voicing their pleasure or disdain for the match.

Much like at Summerslam when Lesnar bloodied Randy Orton, the Goldberg vs Lesnar match stirred confusion, controversy and most of all, shock. Given how mediocre WWE’s shocks these days can be, it was a nice change of pace to see something so legitimately heart-wrenching.

Seeming how predictable and boring last year’s edition of Survivor Series was, this was a much more effective use of the November PPV, with fans becoming incredibly embroiled in the controversial finish. Sure, this may be another case of an extremely poor booking decision put in place just to generate a shock from fans.

But, it has resulted in a tonne of talk about the product, and controversy hasn’t been this high about a PPVs ending in what feels like forever.

Whether you’re angry, happy or baffled about the Goldberg vs Lesnar match, one thing that all fans can agree to is that WWE know how to stir controversy among the WWE Universe, and that was evident in Survivor Series’ aftermath.
