WWE Survivor Series 2011: 5 Additional Matches We Need Added ASAP

It is finally Survivor Series week, but there is still a lot of work to do. Tonight's RAW will include The Rock in Boston, John Cena's home crowd. The three-hour RAW will likely be all about him and his upcoming return to the ring this Sunday at Survivor Series. Will it contain a segment between Cena and The Rock? Almost definitely. Will Mick Foley be involved? Likely. Will the rest of the card for Sunday's pay-per-view be announced? Let's hope so.

Last month's pay-per-view, Vengeance, had all eight of its matches announced before that night, a rarity in today's WWE. Unless there are only four matches at Survivor Series, WWE has some work to do before Sunday. More matches need to be announced and tonight's three-hour, dual-branded event will hopefully pad the card for Sunday's three-hour, dual-branded event. Here are five matches that should be tacked on, or at least considered for inclusion in Sunday's Survivor Series.

Eve Torres vs. Beth Phoenix

OK, so I'm sort of cheating right off the bat. This match was actually lined up two weeks ago. Back on the October 31 episode of RAW, Eve won a battle royal in her Robin costume to become the No. 1 contender for Beth Phoenix's Diva's Championship. For some reason, WWE has not added this match to the listings for the event, even though it was stated that these two would compete at Survivor Series.

What are they waiting for? A special stipulation? An additional competitor in the match? Whatever it is, just announce the match as official tomorrow night and get it over with.

Team HHH vs. Team Nash

One of the main reasons that this match needs to happen is to eliminate these jokes made about the bromance between these two. Triple H had his heart broken by Kevin Nash. Stories have been published by the company about the two "breaking up." Hopefully, this match can have the assets of the couple on the line. Darn, even I am thinking about it like that, too...

Kevin Nash isn't healthy enough to rely upon him for a televised match just yet, which is why he is back in the ring in dark matches and house shows. Triple H is fine right now but is dealing with multiple injuries due to the storyline beatdown from Nash's big ambush on RAW that we kept seeing footage of. We are supposed to believe that HHH is really messed up, but they have put so much attention onto it that you know it has to be involved with Sunday's pay-per-view.

Instead of having the two geezers fight each other and risk injury to both men that are way past their primes, feature some young talent in their place. Both guys find representatives and we have a good, old fashioned Traditional Survivor Series match. This is where I thought The Rock and John Cena's partnership would be aligned, but there are still ways to make this happen.

Triple Threat United States Championship Match

I love seeing Dolph Ziggler as United States Champion, but it is common knowledge that dropping a mid-card title is classically what happens before that ex-champion moves into the main event. Dolph Ziggler has proven in the past few months that such an honor should be bestowed upon him. Ziggler is much better than the guy who took a victory lap with the World Heavyweight Championship earlier this year. Ziggler has taken an awful name and a generic look, but made it unique to him. Before the next level is given to Dolph, he needs to do what made him so great in recent months: getting other talent over.

Ziggler isn't a grizzled veteran, but he can make other guys look good like a guy who has spent a lot more than five years on the main roster.

Ziggler is too good to be left off this card, which means his United States Championship should be on the line. Sure, there is a petition online for Zack Ryder to get the match, but don't sleep on John Morrison in the slot either. Personally, I can settle for a triple threat match. Have Ryder and Morrison both work over an over-matched Ziggler and have Dolph suffer a fate that not even Vickie Guerrero could prevent.

Traditional Divas Survivor Series Match

Survivor Series has featured a 10-Diva match on the card in three of the last four years, with last year being the one year without one. Of the 10 Divas in 2007's tag match (it was not a Traditional Survivor Series match that year), only Kelly Kelly, Beth Phoenix and Layla remain in the company. There are a bunch of relatively new Divas on the current roster, so why not feature them?

Many of these Divas may not exactly deserve a match at a Survivor Series just yet, but WWE is making strides to salvage this division. Kelly Kelly has become a proven top-tier face in the Divas division, while Natalya has joined Beth Phoenix's Divas of Doom movement. Team Kelly Kelly vs. Team Natalya? I could actually get on board with it, especially if they put a match on like Eve and Beth Phoenix did at Vengeance.

Daniel Bryan Facing Anybody

I don't really care who he wrestles or how long it lasts, but does anyone know where Daniel Bryan plans to be on Sunday night? Bryan has a Money in the Bank briefcase, which gives him a world title match at a moment's notice. Bryan has already come out and said that he will use his opportunity at WrestleMania, but we have seen Bryan nearly use the briefcase when Mark Henry seemed down for the count. Can Bryan make it the 19 weeks from Survivor Series to WrestleMania without trying his luck?

More importantly, if he is going to wait until WrestleMania, WWE needs to send him on his journey into the main event of WrestleMania in the next 19 weeks. Make the world believe that in 19 weeks from this Sunday, Daniel Bryan can cash in his chance and be a believable winner in that bout. Nobody has ever lost a Money in the Bank briefcase cash-in, but if Bryan is destined to be the first, at least let him look the part.
