This year’s Survivor Series will always get remembered for one of the best match cards in the entire history of the company. Not only, it witnessed the best lineups in this particular event but also the PPV history since the beginning. Almost, each of the matchups was a dream match for the fans.
Brock Lesnar featured in a match against AJ Styles which was unthinkable for the pro-wrestling lovers. They could not think of this match to culminate even a couple of years ago. The women’s champion vs champion match witnessed Charlotte Flair going against Alexa Bliss which was another much-anticipated matchup.
These two has been running the women’s division for the past couple of years, and hence the matchup was to determine who can reign supreme on each other. Apart from them, there was another dream bout between The New Day and The Shield, i.e. a contest between two of the most popular factions in the WWE history.

If that was not enough, then there was the all-star lineup for the traditional tag team elimination match at the Survivor Series. Most of the big part-time names were called up to get included in this matchup. Occasional stars like John Cena, Shane McMahon, Kurt Angle and Triple H were included to make this one a must-watch match. It is a useful formula implemented by Vince McMahon during the dual brand PPV events.
However, Triple H and Kurt Angle were the two names that were forced to work in the PPV with injuries just to make it a sellout event. According to the reports of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, both these superstars were not fully okay while competing in this match. In case you have not noticed, the Raw GM’s right leg was heavily taped during the match.
As per the source, he picked up a concussion while performing at the WWE UK tour. He joined The Shield for a one-off occasion during a live event. The same can be said for Triple H, as well who were hurt legit after performing in some house shows in recent times.
The good thing is that they performed in the match without showing any fallout and completed the match. Both of them are expected to compete in some matches in the near future after getting rid of the injuries.
