CM Punk & Daniel Bryan Vs. The Wyatts At Survivor Series

A tag-team match has been made for Survivor Series. No, not one of those large elimination-style matches that you would expect from this PPV. It involves CM Punk and Daniel Bryan teaming up. Their opponents? The United Plumbers Association of Greater Downtown Burbank. That is to say, Rowan and Harper. I wrote their names on the back of my hand so I would remember. No, not really.

If you saw the end of Raw, you would have thought a huge tag match was about to be made. The Shield & The Wyatts would team up to face, Punk, Bryan, The Usos, and The Rhodes. Let me just give my opinion on that possible match. On the one hand, I hate the idea of just tossing The Wyatts together with The Shield. Just like that? And I would rather see The Rhodes feuding with Swagger and Cesaro over the titles. As for The Usos, they have been moving in and out of relevance for a while now, which is better treatment for them than I would have expected from the WWE. They deserve the tag titles down the road, but I just don't like them involved in this, either, despite the fact that they have feuded with The Shield in recent weeks. It just all seemed tossed together. On the other hand, the idea of having 6 guys on each team was interesting.

What do I think about the match that has been announced? Even more disappointing than the other option of the large tag match. This is a major PPV. Daniel Bryan and CM Punk are top faces. Their opponents are not even top heels. This match is barely worthy of being on one of the lesser PPV events. This match should be happening on a Raw or Smackdown. Bray Wyatt, the leader of the group, should be wrestling at PPV events.

There is the possibility that this match gets upgraded back to the 6-on-6 elimination match you would expect, but why handle things the way the did? Raw ended with them teasing the idea of a big tag match at Survivor Series, you instead announce a simple tag match, then switch back to what you already were getting fans to expect? Sloppy. They also got very sloppy last year around Survivor Series. And even if they do run with the larger tag match, it still seems like a mismatch. Punk and Bryan have so much credibility. Rowan and Harper really do not. The Shield have been losing a lot lately. Bray Wyatt is the only one protected as far as not losing goes. The build for this match, whatever it ends up being, has just been sloppy and tossed together. I can't think of an upgrade that could make it better in such a short time until the PPV.
