Dolph Ziggler Vs. Tyler Breeze
Tyler Breeze made his WWE main roster debut on the October 22 SmackDown, interrupting Dolph Ziggler on “Miz TV” before attacking The Show-Off. Breeze continued to attack and distract Ziggler for weeks on television. Ziggler finally retaliated on the November 19 episode of SmackDown, which led to a match at Survivor Series.
Tyler Breeze might’ve picked up the win over a former World Heavyweight Champion in his first WWE PPV match, but this was yet another forgettable midcard match on this show. Just a six-minute match that no one remembered the next day. It probably would’ve been a lot better if it happened on Raw or SmackDown.
The Brothers Of Destruction Vs. The Wyatt Family
WWE promoted Survivor Series 2015 as a celebration of The Undertaker’s 25 years in WWE. When you look at things that way, it’s hard to say this tag team match didn’t deliver. The fans got to see an epic entrance, The Brothers of Destruction hit all their big moves and won. Those who watched Survivor Series 2015 for nostalgia probably loved it.
However, looking back a decade later, this match symbolizes WWE’s struggle to elevate new stars. The Wyatt Family had plenty of history with both Kane and The Undertaker, and this had the potential to be far more than a glorified house show tag team match – which is exactly what it was.
