The lapsed fan's guide to 2019 WWE Survivor Series
Alright! Survivor Series! The annual battle between Team Red (Raw) and Team Blue (SmackDown) for WWE supremacy! The what now? How did this invasion angle happen? A lack of logic? In professional wrestling? Surely you jest! Have the other brands invaded NXT, too? Is there another Triple Threat singles match with the brands? Bayley's a heel? Dances with those inflatable car dealership tube men, "Free hugs!" Bayley. What about the rest of the women's division? Is Bray Wyatt still mad at Daniel Bryan for taking off his ceremonial overalls and leaving his backwoods family cult? Is this just going to be five seconds of Lesnar throwing Mysterio around like a lawn dart, a la Kevin Nash?
So that's your 2019 Survivor Series card, an event that will thrill us with action and confuse us with the backstage politics that lead to booking which "brands" beat the others. No matter what happens, this Survivor Series will be forever remembered for the NXT invasion angle that, if we're being honest, transformed a potentially lackluster card into one of the most intriguing events the WWE has hosted in quite some time. At least on paper.
