The Mid-Card
As for the middle of this card, it’ll be interesting to see how they’re going to fill it out. As for the two mid-card Champions, both Alberto Del Rio and Kevin Owens don’t really have any true opponents.
For Del Rio, he’s going to have to be able to keep the US Title elevated on a weekly basis, just like John Cena. With Cena out for extended period of time, it’ll be interesting to see who ADR will feud with going into WWE Survivor Series and into December. It’s possible that he’ll be thrown into a traditional team vs. team match for the mid-card, but I’d personally like to see him and Kevin Owens stay away from that, unless it’s against each other. I wouldn’t mind seeing a babyface Alberto Del Rio (for the time being) lead a team against a heel Kevin Owens team, where they battle for which mid-card title is superior.
For Kevin Owens, I think the ultimate end-game for his Intercontinental Championship is to eventually feud with Sami Zayn of NXT. Until then, I don’t see anyone on the current main roster that could be plugged in here that would interest me in the slightest. Could WWE throw us someone like Mark Henry or Big Show against the IC Champ to showcase Owens’ strength? Could we see a call-up from NXT? Could we see a returning Daniel Bryan? So many possibilities…. we’ll see what happens with Owens and his title.
As for the WWE Tag Team Champions, it’s going to be interesting to see if the Dudley Boyz will get another chance against the New Day. Honestly, both teams will probably be thrown into a team vs. team match or they’ll have another straight-up tag match. Either way, I think the Dudley Boyz, the way they are now, have overstayed their welcome. I don’t know the status of Jey Uso, but I think the tag-team division needs The Usos back in the WWE Tag Title picture, big time.
I’m grasping at straws, people. Take it easy.
Thanks for reading and let me know what you want to see at WWE Survivor Series.
