WWE Survivor Series 2015 Results: Rebooking Full Card from PPV

A disappointing edition of Survivor Series this year means there's plenty of room for improvement when it comes to rebooking the card.

An ending that left many fans unhappy is easily corrected, with there also being plenty of chances to fine tune things lower down on the card, too.

For this particular take on rebooking the Survivor Series card, we're going to not include the semi-final matches from the WWE World Heavyweight Championship tournament.

All in all the right men came through those matches; it's just the final that needs addressing.

Here's what the card could have looked like if it had been rebooked.

Ryback, The Usos and The Lucha Dragons vs. Sheamus, King Barrett and The New Day

Given what was about to happen later on in the night, why did WWE opt to leave Sheamus on his own to get beaten by the likes of Kalisto and Ryback?

That was not the ending that should have been laid out for this match. Given how we had The Lucha Dragons, The Usos and The New Day involved, it would have been good to set some sort of dynamic up for the tag division moving forward.

Forget Sheamus and King Barrett for a moment, and let The New Day and The Usos fight it out. 

Sure, it added to their heel persona having them leave the arena after Big E had been pinned, but that's the problem here. Big E should have gone a long way into this match, potentially having to take on both of The Usos in the latter stages of the match.

He could have just fallen short, setting things up nicely for the next few weeks for the tag division.

Instead, WWE went down the route of making its soon-to-be champion look like a squash victim.

Charlotte vs. Paige

The Divas Championship match ended fairly plainly compared to what happened later on in the night with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Charlotte made Paige submit after an entertaining battle, without being one of the best seen in recent years.

Their feud should be solely built on anger and aggression. Paige's comments last week made for a real edge to this feud, and it would have been good to see things get really violent on occasions, particularly outside the ring.

Did the right person win? That's tough to say, especially with what happened the following night on Raw with Paige claiming Charlotte's hand was under the ropes when she tapped out.

All in all, there's not a great deal that could have been done differently here.

The Brothers of Destruction vs. The Wyatt Family

If we're completely rebooking this match, then at least all four members of The Wyatt Family should have got into the mix.

Whether that made it a four-on-four Survivor Series-style match or even a handicap match, it would have been cool to see all members of Bray's army take on Undertaker and Kane.

But even on the night, when it was announced Bray would pick two members of the family to take on The Brothers of Destruction, you get the feeling the choice was a bit off.

Sure, Luke Harper is arguably the most talented wrestler in The Wyatt Family, so in that sense it was good to see him take on two legends of the business.

But this felt like Braun Strowman's time to shine on a major pay-per-view. WWE is building him up as a major credible threat to anyone that crosses his path, so having him fight Taker and Kane would have been good career progression for him.

Aside from that, who can argue with the bout? It featured some real brutality midway through when Strowman was hurled around outside the ring, and the ending itself was the right one.

It's only the choice of participant with which you can really argue about the booking of this match.

Tyler Breeze vs. Dolph Ziggler

This might sound controversial here, but it didn't really feel like the right man won this match.

Sure, it's great to see Tyler Breeze pick up a big pay-per-view win so early in his career on the main roster. But in all fairness, Dolph Ziggler really felt like he needed this one more.

Ziggler has come off the back of a terrible feud with Lana, Summer Rae and Rusev, and he needed a fresh bit of momentum. This was the opportunity to do that.

The match not even lasting seven minutes also doesn't feel great. Ziggler is still one of the most competent and complete performers on the roster, so he could have surely dragged a bout with Breeze out for longer than this.

Make the match a fair bit longer to give both men some exposure, and have Ziggler only just manage to go over Breeze following a gruelling bout. That would have been the best plan of action here.

Roman Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose

It's clear there's plenty of rebooking required from Sunday's main event. So instead of saying what could and couldn't have been done differently, here's the scenario with how things should have played out.

For starters, the match lasts more than just over nine minutes in length. Following a 20-minute epic between the two friends, the action begins to get intense.

Reigns hits a spear. Ambrose kicks out. He follows up with Dirty Deeds, but Reigns kicks out at two.

With both men laid out on the mat, both visibly exhausted, out comes The Authority. Triple H assesses the fallen warriors, steps into the ring and the referee tells him to leave. 

He knocks down the referee before Reigns squares up to him. It looks like Reigns is about to knock Triple H down before the COO turns his back and viciously attacks Ambrose.

Suddenly, it's clear what is happening. Reigns hits another spear on a beaten and exhausted Ambrose, and Triple H orders the referee back into the ring to count.

They embrace with the title over Reigns' shoulder, and the heel turn is complete. Ambrose is the man chasing his former best friend, and Reigns is the heel everyone craves him to be.

It sounds simple, but it's the way things should really have gone on Sunday night.
