Only the eighth WWE pay-per-view in which no championships were defended. The others were: Survivor Series 1987, Survivor Series 1988, Survivor Series 1989, Royal Rumble 1990, Survivor Series 1990, King of the Ring 1995 and In Your House 9: International Incident. All champions competed in non-title matches.
WWE Survivor Series: The usual batch of hits and misses
These days I go into every WWE ppv with low expectations but with Survivor Series there were several matches I had high hopes for and to a point delivered. Sadly that didn't raise Survivor Series 2017 higher than an average ppv because of all the generic, mediocre and just plain poor content that went beside it.
The neat thing about this ppv is it delivered matches we'd never seen before, it gave mostly the logical outcomes and in ring performances were again mostly solid.
But Hardy vs Elias? Owens & Zayn vs The Fashion Police? etc Who backstage thought people wanted to see that? I won't break the whole ppv down because I'll rant for paragraphs, I'll merely say that WWE delivered yet another ppv with nuggets of greatness swimming in an ocean of mediocrity.
The Good:
Some never before seen matches
Many brought their A game
Amazing teams for the final match
The Bad:
Non stop adverts
Kid Rock
Predictable
If you ever needed evidence that WWE isn't pushing new stars watch the main event! HHH/Orton/Kurt/Shane
Shane needs to stop wrestling, its getting embarrassing
No surprises
Things I Learnt From This Event:
It's embarrassing every time they refer to Tamina is dominant
Miz needs to stop doing the "Yes" kicks
Social media and wrestling seems to have become a peculiar awkward marriage
Cena is cancer in human form for the wrestling industry at this stage
