Survivor Series 2013 Title Match Previews

Both World titles will be on the line at Survivor Series. That did not have to absolutely be the case. As I have pointed out before, they could have had Team Cena vs. Team Orton. Since they are not going that way, I have two matches to preview right now.

Randy Orton defends his WWE Championship against Big Show. Who wins? I would say Orton. He just got the belt back a few weeks ago. Before that, it was vacated for a while. Things have been messy. Just keep the title on one guy. Should Big Show win? This doesn't even feel like really his feud. His issues were more with Triple H and Stephanie. This is essentially just a basic title feud. Big Show has the momentum back, which makes it even more likely that Orton will retain.

John Cena defends his World's Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio. Another bland basic title feud. This is coming from a guy that likes Del Rio. What reason would the WWE have to shoot the title back to Del Rio? Cena too banged up? This feud is so less interesting than even the one between Big Show and Randy Orton, I almost want to say that a big swerve will happen. Probably not. Cena retains.

Last question, which of these two matches should be the true main event at Survivor Series? It is unlikely that the other matches on the card stand as much of a chance closing the show, despite Daniel Bryan and CM Punk's feud with The Wyatts getting more major attention recently than it deserves. Just between the two title matches? John Cena is the centerpiece. They are going to be in his hometown. Randy Orton is sold as the "face" of the company in the storyline currently going on. The WWE Championship is the more important of the two World titles. Reasons for both matches closing. And yet, both are so lackluster. This whole PPV is really lacking. If I had to book things myself, I would have the WWE Championship match close the show. If the WWE wants to send the fans home happy, Cena winning to close the show is a possibility. Again, personally, I feel it should be the WWE Championship match that closes.
