<p>WWE took a huge gamble when they launched the WWE Network. They assumed that continuing the way they did with PPVs and adding old content would be enough to get plenty of subscribers.</p>



<p>Unfortunately, for WWE, the actual number of subscribers came nowhere close to the figures they needed. Their live shows and PPVs aren’t faring any better. That is why, we have seen a slew of bold bookings recently.</p>



<p>Last Tuesday’s <strong><a href="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/reviews/wwe-smackdown-live-results-review-november-13-2018/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SmackDown</a></strong> was huge as we got a few changes for Survivor Series including two matches that we have never seen before in <strong>Bryan vs Lesnar</strong> and <strong>Charlotte vs Rousey</strong>. It cannot stop here as WWE needs to keep this trend going and here are 5 bold booking decisions WWE must make at Survivor Series.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Let Daniel Bryan Beat Lesnar</strong></h2>

<p>Ask anyone what their most memorable part has been of the Brock Lesnar saga and they will all tell you that it is him being squashed by Goldberg in no time. The rest of Lesnar’s script has been totally one-dimensional with him always winning and being pushed to the moon.</p>



<p>That is why no one was excited about the original Styles vs Lesnar clash as it was a given that Lesnar would come out on top. The change up with Bryan replacing Styles has been good so far but WWE must go all in. It is a non-title match and hence it won’t make a difference to the title scene but allowing Bryan to win even if it is by unfair means would be great for the show while also cementing Bryan’s heel turn.</p>



<p>Another win for Lesnar would kill any momentum Bryan has garnered with his shock turn and this could also be utilized to turn this into a full blown feud of epic proportions.</p>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Allow Strowman And Drew McIntyre To Be The Sole Survivors</strong></h2>

<p>With Roman Reigns gone and few established faces and heels on RAW at the moment, Strowman and McIntyre are easily the most bankable full-time wrestlers that the RAW brand has.</p>



<p>Not only should the RAW brand win in the 5-on-5 match but it should be these two men who should end up as the sole survivors. This can be the starting point of a drawn out feud between the two and the title can also be involved at some point in the future.</p>



<p>Strowman has a great connection with the crowd and McIntyre has all the attributes to make him the defining heel of this era. They could have an angle where it is down to just these two guys on the RAW side from where they go on to win it for RAW but are unwilling to work with each other. One could attack the other post match starting something great.</p>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Major Heel Or Face Turn</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/Y2iOdQ1.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via WWE.com</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>The reason the last few weeks of WWE programs have been great is because of the plethora of face and heel turns that we have seen.</p>



<p>Elias and Dean Ambrose are just some of the examples but WWE needs to continue this and turn a few more characters to further their cause and remove the rut they are in right now. Wrestlers like <strong>Asuka</strong> and <strong>Finn Balor</strong> could really benefit from a turn as they are currently being massively underutilized. The same could apply for <strong>Shinsuke Nakamura</strong> and <strong>The Miz</strong>.</p>



<p>A few more high-profile turns could be great for the show and WWE programs for the near future as this will give fans something to talk about and be invested in. It will also save the WWE careers of many wrestlers who all seem destined to leave or be fired at some point in the future.</p>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Progression Of The Four Horsewomen vs Four Horsewomen Storyline</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/UdcKW6s.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via wrestletalk.com</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>This has been a long time coming and the circumstances could not have been better. Becky Lynch cannot wrestle but she can influence the result of the Charlotte vs Rousey match.</p>



<p>WWE can have both women go at each other with everything they have got without allowing for a clear winner. Just as things start go awry for Charlotte, Becky could come out and cause a distraction and allow Charlotte to pick up the win.</p>



<p>WWE could also go all out by having Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir come out in aid of Rousey causing Bayley and Sasha Banks to come out to even the odds setting up the long awaited math-up between these two factions that has been teased plenty of times in the past.</p>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Let Dean Ambrose Play A Huge Role</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/H1ePVy4.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via WWE.com</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>One thing WWE is really good at is killing momentum. They should not do that with Dean Ambrose though. It has been weeks since Ambrose turned heel and yet the most significant thing he has done so far is burn his Shield garb.</p>



<p>WWE must utilize the match-up between Rollins and Nakamura to cause a huge and shocking event involving Dean Ambrose. Everyone expects him to interfere in the match but it should be in such a way that it shocks the fans and cements Ambrose’s heel turn.</p>



<p>How WWE achieves that is up to them but it should not be something as cheap as a low blow or a small distraction. At the end of the night people should really resent and hate Ambrose the way they hated and resented Rollins after his heel turn.</p>
