The Survivors: 2016

Hello readers and welcome to a post Survivor Series article, and today I am talking about the Sole Survivors of the three Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Matches, all pitting Team RAW vs. Team SmackDown LIVE. Though RAW have gotten the better of these matches, with a 2-1 final result, Team SD LIVE did show toughness, and in every match, there was, a Sole Survivor. Or should I say Survivors, as not one match ended up with one person being victorious, instead a duo. Therefore, let's take a look at our true Sole Survivors for 2016.

Charlotte and Bayley: Team RAW

Charlotte, the current RAW's Women's Champion and Team Captain of the Women's Team for RAW, made a statement during and after the match. Though she didn't have as strong of a performance as others, Charlotte made clear what her intentions were, to show why she was Team Captain. She did that by eliminating  Natalya and Alexa Bliss, with two huge boots to the face, making a total of two eliminations for the champion.  However, her most lovable partner in the match made it to the end as well, as Bayley contributed also with one elimination, by eliminating the final member of Team SmackDown LIVE, the Team Captain, the SmackDown's Women's Champion, Becky Lynch, who fought hard but succumbed to a Bayley-To-Belly, the final pinfall of the match, giving Team RAW the win.

However, after the match, teammate time was over. Only a couple of seconds after the referee raised both Charlotte and Bayley's hands in victory, Charlotte brutally attacked her just then former partner. Charlotte hit Bayley square in the face with an elbow, then threw her into the barricade twice, and a big boot, completely incapacitating Bayley. It was a message sent by Charlotte, that she won't allow Bayley to take the title off her waist. This is a huge hint that there will be a match between the two at Roadblock, for the title, which I'm completely fine with. However, Charlotte wanted to show that she was the best on Team RAW, both during and after the match.

Sheamus and Cesaro: Team RAW

Though WWE's most dysfunctional team didn't get too much time in the spotlight, they did have the best performance in the match wrestling wise. The two men showed off both of their mat skills, and having a mini clinic with the Usos on Team SmackDown Live. As it came down to the final teams of the match, both teams left it all in the ring. The momentum shifted back and forth between both teams, but there was one factor that allowed Cesaro and Sheamus to become the Sole Survivors of the match. The factor was teamwork, something that before Survivor Series, Cesaro and Sheamus were not very strong at. However, they saved each other from defeat multiple times, and Sheamus was able to almost kick the head off of Jimmy Uso, forcing his brother to tap to Cesaro's Sharpshooter, giving Team RAW another win.

In fact, RAW Commissioner, Stephanie McMahon, and RAW General Manager, Mick Foley, were so impressed with the team's performance, they awarded them a RAW Tag Team Championship match against the New Day the next night on RAW. The match happened, and was a great match, as Cesaro and Sheamus were looking very ready to snap the New Day's Championship reign. However, thanks to shenanigans by Xavier Woods, The New Day won the bout, and left Sheamus and Cesaro with nothing in the ring. Though they didn't come out with the titles, the team had a strong perfomance at the Survivor Series event, and I have no doubt in my mind they will be back in the Championship picture.

Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton: Team SmackDown LIVE

This is the pair of men not many of us would expect to be the last ones standing on the side of SmackDown, but hey, the whole Survivor Series event was full of surprises. In the almost hour long match, both Orton and Wyatt had a strong performance. There was no way they couldn't, as there was a lot of time to fill. Both men ended up with at least one elimination, and were they entertaining. Orton had one elimination, as he RKO'd Chris Jericho, who was worrying about his list, and he got planted and was eliminated by Orton. Bray Wyatt, had two eliminations, but had the help of Orton on both of them. Orton hit a huge out of nowhere RKO on Seth Rollins, who was jumping off the top rope and looking to splash Wyatt but instead got RKO'd, and Wyatt pinned him to eliminate him. As the match came down to Wyatt and Orton against Roman Reigns, Reigns was about to hit Wyatt with the Spear, but Orton pushed Wyatt out of the way to take it for him. Wyatt then sealed RAW's fate with a Sister Abigail, and eliminated Reigns, giving Team SD LIVE the win.

Many people were looking for Randy Orton to turn on Bray Wyatt a lot of times in this match, and many opportunities were given for it to happen. However, Orton remained loyal, and stayed with Wyatt, which benefited Team SmackDown LIVE to the point of winning with confidence. However, come SD LIVE last night, Orton and Wyatt booked themselves in a match against Number One Contenders for the SD Tag Team Championship, American Alpha for next weeks SD LIVE. Though they have already moved on from Survivor Series, it'll go down as one of the wildest matches in the WWE, with winners no one would've expected.

Who do you think should've survived to the end?

Randy Orton did a feel-good thing for Shane McMahon's family. When McMahon appeared to hurt very badly, Orton, in heel persona, walked over to ringside where his family was, and told them that he was alright when it seemed very serious. Some fans noticed this, and took to Twitter with it, and Orton responded:

I'm a father. I know what it's like to have your kids ringside when shit goes sideways... https://t.co/9rtaCp48sJ

It's very great to see this kind of stuff in the WWE. It shows that either Heel or Face, they all come together as some of the best good in the world, making audiences feel extremely safe.

Booking NXT! #1

Hey guys it's Tom Maher here and today Rest Hold Party bring to you a new series. We will be fantasy booking the biggest shows in WWE. We have myself booking the amazing NXT. I will be in charge of booking tournaments and Takeover's. Obviously I won't be making any additions to the roster unless I feel they're finished up with house show gigs or have debuted in real life. Also, my good friend Squid Devitt will be booking Smackdown as well as their exclusive pay per views and trying to make it more appealing than it already is. Finally, we have RAW. RAW is yet to have a booker but the well known blogger Cameron leads the chase at a primary candidate for the position. Now that we have that sorted let's get right into what I believe should happen for the next show.

Now, let's first take a look at this women's championship storyline. Asuka has been dominating the NXT women's division since the departures of huge names such as Nia Jax and of course Bayley. NXT haven't really built up any big women stars. Of course we have Liv Morgan leading the race but she is not yet a star. So, tomorrow night I would like to see Liv Morgan put on a hell of a match with Mandy Rose. I feel both women have big potential and I'd give them a nice 7 to 9 minute time slot. Let them build themselves and put on a clinic to show why women's wrestling in NXT is truly awesome.

Next up we will be taking a look at the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. I adore this idea and feel it should get some time. As we've already been told, Andrade Almas and Cedric Alexander will be taking on NXT Tag Champs The Revival. In my opinion this should go on for a solid 12 minutes to show off everybody. We see the highflying style of Almas and Cedric mixed with the ground and pound of The Revival. I feel this could be a great match. Throughout the bout I would have tension building between Cien and Cedric. Maybe Almas hits Cedric by accident or Almas chooses not to tag in Cedric. The Revival take the win and Cedric and Almas have a moment after the match where Cedric simply walks out on Almas possibly leading to a feud between the two.

Next up we're going to cut backstage to where William Regal is sitting at his desk. We here a loud knock and in comes Samoa Joe. Joe looks peeved off and demands that Regal give him his match against Nakamura or he'll raise hell. Regal refuses and says he hasn't come to a decision yet. Joe is furious and swipes the papers from Regal's desk and grabs Regal by his shirt and demands a match. Regal continues to refuse until Joe pulls him over the desk and puts him in his signature submission hold. People charge in after hearing the commotion and break it up before anything bad happens. Joe is eventually ripped off and the screen fades to an advertisement. I'd give this segment a solid 5 minutes to let Joe get to maximum intensity.

After we return from advertisements it cuts to a very shaky announce team as they try to calm everything down and tells the WWE Universe that Regal is on his way to a hospital to be treated and Joe has been escorted out the building.

Next up we see the debut of Dan Matha. This man is meant to be pure domination which is why we're going to have him debut against Angelo Dawkins. Dawkins is going to come out as confident as ever. Then the lights go off and we hear this awesome dark rock music and Dan Matha emerges from behind the curtains. He gets on the mic and cuts a short 1 minute promo to explain to the NXT fans in attendance why the reign of Dan Matha is going to run right through NXT. Matha then attacks Dawkins before the bell to draw some heat and the match lasts around 5 minutes. Matha destroys for most of it however for 2 minutes of so Dawkins gets offense in but it's a dominating display by Matha. Matha then gets Dawkins and beats him down again and again and again. They go to the announce table and put Dawkins through it. Matha has established himself as a force to be reckoned with. But then, from no where.

The Authors of Pain emerge through the curtain and face off with Matha before shaking hands. Matha looks at Ellering and smiles before picking him up for his finisher and laying him out. Ellering is taken off by medical staff and Dawkins manages to walk away with Medical Assistance. This whole situation will last around 10 minutes including the match.

Finally, to round of the night we here Tye Dillinger's music play. He walks to the entrance ramp and his music cuts off. We here Glorious Domination and Rode walks through the curtain while the fans sing his theme. The fans are estatic as Rode walks down the ramp and grabs a mic and announces that he is Tye's mentor and he is his protégé. Rode days that in the coming weeks Roode will be giving him challengers. The very first challenger you ask. Only The Greatest Man That Ever Lived. Austin Aries walks out to a nice pop and walks down the ramp and stares Tye Down. Aries has a mic in his and hands looks as if he's about to talk but instead lays out Rode with it. Tye then proceeds to attack him. This segment lasts 5 minutes giving the match a solid 13 minutes. The ref rings the bell and the match begins. It's pretty even but it ends up with Dillinger picking up the win. However, Aries had his foot on the ropes. The ref didn't see it and ,as Perfect Domination left the ring, Aries attacked the ref taking him out and laying him flat in his back. The night ends there.

I believe this was a good show as we saw a women's match getting a lot of time. We saw the Dusty Rhodes TTC progress in an awesome match. We saw the domination from Dan Matha. It leaves us wondering what is going to happen with Samoa Joe and we see Perfect Domination build some momentum head in into the TTC.

Thanks everyone for reading I've been Tom. Check out for the RAW and Smackdown booking soon to come.
