Wwe survivor series 2012 live updates

Donald Wood of Bleacher Report and Ring Rust Radio points out that the event should entertain, regardless of the questionable buildup. John Cena missed multiple weeks with an arm injury following Night of Champions , but Cena is determined to move on and compete for the belt. Though Cena is physically prepared, the challenge of taking on Ryback is a daunting task. Trying to figure out how in the hell to even approach Ryback this Sunday.

Big E hits the spear to the floor on Reigns. He hit Reigns with the Big Splash. Reigns came back into the match and beat him down in the corner. Big E hit the sudden Urinagi for a near-fall. Big E tries the Stretch Muffler submission and Roman hit him with the powerbomb. Big E was sent into the barricade and the post with Roman standing tall. Big E finally reversed and sent Roman into the steps.

He hit him with three Belly to Belly suplexes. Roman didn't appreciate the fans chanting for Big E and he got beaten back. Big E's knee is hurt at the moment. He seems to be struggling a little. Roman and Big E are both matching their strengths at the moment. Roman Reigns vs Big E. Belair hits Shotzi with the KOD! That's it! She does it! Bianca is left alone to face off against everyone else. Natalya with the sharpshooter on her. Belair rolled up Natalya for the elimination.

She faced Shayna nxt and dropped Baszler face-first and she's eliminated. Shotzi is the last one left against Belair. Shotzi and Banks get in a fight. Shayna and Natalya join it and eliminate Sasha through countout.

Shotzi and Shayna work together to eliminate Rhea Ripley. It's only Bianca left. Morgan got caught in the Kirafuda Clutch, with Shotzi and Sasha hitting two splashes on her to eliminate her. Rhea hit Sasha with the headbutt before hitting the delayed suplex. Morgan hit Toni Storm with Oblivion, getting the elimination.

Belair throws Zelina into Sasha who kicks out. Ultimately, these matches are about brand supremacy and it's obvious even those involved don't care about that. Kevin Owens talks out of the match, while Sheamus took out his own partner in Jeff Hardy. If you want us to believe that this battle for brand supremacy was real, couldn't you have at least tried? In the end, Seth Rollins was the sole survivor.

It makes the most sense, I guess, since he's the most defined and highest-elevated member of the WWE roster that's not a world champion at this point. I just wish it had meant more. Mat: This is The Rock's 25th anniversary battle royal, at least that's what the commentary said. On the entrance ramp, there's two picnic tables with red boxes on them.

What is happening? Wait, it's Pizza Hut pizzas? Yes, I'm writing this in real time as I watch it. They're really packing in that revenue, eh? Sami Zayn is the only person who has some sort of understanding of representing your brand and trying to win one "for the team. Poor, poor Sami. Look, I liked this match. I like battle royal matches. But I was increasingly annoyed by the fact it was just a giant ad for Pizza Hut. Also, NFTs or whatever. Chris: This portion of the review is also brought to you by Pizza Hut, even though they haven't paid me anything or given me any pizza.

What on earth is going on here? This might mean something if The Rock were on the show, but he's not. Seriously, what does the winner get? It can't be brand supremacy because superstars are attacking people from their own brands. Will the winner of this match be crowned the new The Rock? Cause if so, my money is on Mr. Charisma himself, Omos. This was actually a very fun match with some pretty entertaining eliminations. He also gets all of the Pizza Hut to himself. Good for you, Omos.

This entire thing was very stupid, even though it had some fun moments. But hey, the Street Profits got to throw pizza at the audience and who doesn't love pizza picked up off of the floor of Barclays Center? The nerve. Mat: Matt Riddle is a pretty great wrestling, but I'm not a fan of the "bro" gimmick. The Usos are a top tier tag team--of all time, nonetheless. What you have when you combine all of this is something I'm not invested in, no matter how many "RKOs out of nowhere" the match contains--there was one.

It was a fine match, but I just never felt that connection to any sort of story--something I feel like I've said a million times tonight so far. One half of the equation isn't there, and after Survivor Series is over, nothing about this match will matter. Chris: All there is to say about this match can be summed up in how invested we are in it. But I have zero interest in this match.

So much so that I just looked at my partner and realized neither of us were really paying attention. There are no stakes, there is no story. It's the problem with practically every match tonight. It just becomes more and more evident as the night goes on. We've seen that done to death at this point, though, so it's not exactly mind-blowing.

Plus, Rated RK-Bro is absolutely the inferior team, so giving them the win makes no sense. Mat: Shotzi did not come to the ring in her tank, and it made me a little sad.

Compared to the men's match, this felt like a smoother bout to start. Sure, Carmella went out quickly because she decided to put on her mask inside the ring when she was legal--which was very silly--but after that, we're getting some great wrestling. The Barclays Center also had a wave going. There were chants for Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks, and I can't remember another moment in the evening where we had chants--aside from a "This is awesome" during Becky vs.

The crowd wasn't entirely in it at this point, aside from a few moments like when Toni Storm jumped in and eliminated Zelina Vega. But this is on the performers, as there were weird awkward moments where things felt out-of-whack.

It happened a few times, and in turn, the momentum for the match was lost. Also, Michael Cole called a powerbomb a spinebuster, which was weird. Even the commentary team seems lost here. It got to a point where the story of Bianca Belair taking on the members of Team Smackdown wasn't as interesting as it should have been.

Belair winning is the right call, but this didn't live up to what I hoped for. Chris: No tank for Shotzi, but Queen Zelina spent the entire time Smackdown's team made their entrance sitting on the top turnbuckle, royal waving to everyone.

It was perfect. I still don't quite understand Carmella's gimmick, but she was eliminated so quickly that it probably doesn't matter. Anyway, this match was fine, but didn't really start clicking until Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair finally got in the ring together. It brought the excitement, the crowd which was doing the wave finally came back to life, and it finally became the match we wanted to see. Can we talk about the moment when Sasha was in her corner with Queen Zelina, though, and all of her teammates just kinda hung out off the apron staring at her?

The commentary team speculated that Sasha is so intolerable that nobody wanted to tag in, but it was an incredibly awkward moment where it looked as though everyone on Team Smackdown couldn't figure out the match's timing.
