WWE News: Original Planning For Survivor Series Involving Shane McMahon

WWE Raw came up with a clean sweep over Smackdown Live at Survivor Series. This is the worst performance that we have ever seen from the blue brand in the history of bragging rights. The flagship show won six of the competitive matches on the main show to keep the score 6-0. The actual score should have been 6-1, although.

There was a 10 on 10 elimination match between the Raw and Smackdown tag teams in the kick-off show. The blue brand picked up the win in this contest that WWE never counted. They always wanted to keep the clean sweep in the record book. But the original planning regarding Survivor Series was pretty much different than what’s happened on the show.

Original Plans with AJ Styles vs. Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series

The Dirty Sheets published a report revealing that what the actual plan was about this year’s Survivor Series. Smackdown was always going to lose but they were about to give a tough fight to WWE Raw. They were about to get a 3-0 lead by winning the first series of matches. This would make Stephanie McMahon angry and come up with an ultimatum.

Stephanie McMahon would have threatened Baron Corbin to ensure the win of the red brand. Or else, she would fire him from the acting GM post. The story would look something like this, (courtesy wwfoldschool.com)

“RAW would’ve then went on to win by 4-3 (with the result of the 10 on 10 RAW vs. SmackDown elimination match being counted as well). WWE would’ve then focused on a storyline of how Shane McMahon should step down as the commissioner of SmackDown as he blew a 3-0 lead.”

This might indicate to a potential heel turn for the Smackdown commissioner. But that is not the reality. The source continued that the main event of Survivor Series was going to be the men’s 5 on 5 tag team elimination matchup. The finish was also the same (Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre & Bobby Lashley vs. Shane O’Mac in the end).

Shane McMahon then received the beating of a lifetime before taking the pinfall. But he would have refused medical attention and leave the ring on his own power. The audience would cheer him on providing sympathy. This should automatically rule out the chances of a potential heel turn for the Smackdown commissioner.

But later Vince McMahon decided to make a change in this process and inserted the 6-0 script. This ‘would make Shane look worse as a SmackDown commissioner than a 3-4 loss to RAW would’ve done’. This still keeps a chance to convert Shane McMahon into a heel figure. This storyline is likely to continue over the next several weeks to set up a Wrestlemania program.
