You know, how Dwayne spoke about his Match with Cena, it made it seem as if it would be Cena, Dwayne and a few others Vs an opposing Team. It definitely didn't come off as if it would be a regular Tag Team Match.

Also, truth be told, they should have held the WWE Draft after Survivor Series, so that the winning Brand got 1st Draft Pick. But now, with the Supershows and the subsequent lifting or appearance of the Separate Brands being lifted, a WWE Draft doesn't make much sense let alone having a Raw Vs Smackdown Elimination Match at SS.

So, this SS line up should be interesting to see how it shapes up.

The remaining PPV's are: TLC (after Survivor Series) - Royal Rumble - Elimination Chamber - WM 28.

And at TLC, it will be interesting to see how they have Beth/Natalya top their TLC Match from last year, the 1st ever Diva Tag Team Table Match against LayCool.

Since Kong revealed her pregnancy back in May 2011, and not knowing how long before she announced it she had been pregnant for, around December (TLC) she would at least be ~8 months pregnant, and for the Elimination Chamber she would be at least ~10 months pregnant. Which kind of sucks, because I would love if they had a Diva Elimination Chamber Match for the Divas Title and Kong was a Surprise Entrant, but it is unlikely that she would be ready to come back or able to come back for the Match.

Seems weird that Punk is getting a title shot considering he hasn't really been on that much of a winning streak. He lost at Vengeance the night before asking for a title shot, Night Of Champions he was pinned by Triple H, he got pinned in the Triple Threat at Hell In A Cell too plus a questionable win at Summerslam. Triple H should have been the one to take the pinfall at Vengeance to make Punk look a little more worthy of the championship.

They only have 3 matches annouced so far, I'm just wondering what else they could put in. Can't really think of much about the WWE Tag Team titles because, as far as I know, Air Boom still aint dropped it (maybe they could reveal a replacement for Evan Bourne as Kofi's new partner?) if they drop it before SS, then it may even be a vacant title match between Ziggler and Swagger vs The Uso's

I actually wouldn't mind having a Tag Team Turmoil to crown new Tag Champs possibly with a Pre-Taped Skit involving Kofi taking out his former partner Evan and then telling the laid out Evan that he is going to find a new Partner, one who won't screw him over. This would then be a Heel turn for Kofi and when Evan returns in 30 days after serving his Suspension, he could then come out and cost Kofi a Match reigniting a Feud between them, possibly even coming out with a new Partner of his own & costing Kofi and his partner the Tag Titles or something.

Perhaps Matt "Matt Cross/M-Dogg 20" Capiccioni could become Kofi's new Partner.

They probably won't have a tag title match on the show at all and Kofi will just be put into a classic 5 on 5 Survivor Series match with Bourne being written off TV with an injury or something.

If that were to happen, then I wouldn't mind it if they had Kofi turn Heel by causing Bourne's injury. Possibly, even repeating the HHH injuring HBK Storyline or something.

This could be a good storyline here, my worry is that Kofi may find it difficult to get over as a heel though

Why turn anyone heel? Why break the team up? Kofi wouldn't cut it as a heel, Air Boom have only been a tag team for roughly two months and have yet to have a major programme with anyone. If they were to split now no one would care because they haven't even established themselves yet.

You're venturing to far into the realm of fantasy booking.

Well, how else would you explain Evan getting injured and Kofi getting a new Partner.

[Hush]

^^^

You don't need to Evan is only suspended for 30 days have anyone 'injure' him be it Ziggler & Swagger for example, it doesn't matter they don't have to drop the titles Kofi doesn't need a new partner. When Bourne comes back from 'injury' (suspension) him and Kofi try to gain some retribution on Ziggler/Swagger.

Booking 101 - keep it simple. it doesn't always need to be shocking heel/face turns, mystery partners, shoot angles and IWC references.

New Match = http://www.wwe.com/shows/survivorser...n-team-barrett

Team Orton

• Randy Orton (Captain)
• Sheamus
• Mason Ryan
• 1/2 of the WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston
• Sin Cara

Team Barrett

• Wade Barrett (Captain)
• Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes
• Christian
• Jack Swagger
• Hunico

So, the Tag Team [Evan's suspended] and the IC Titles won't be defended at SS. Since Mason is in this Match, I would imagine that if the US Title is defended at SS it will be Dolph (C) Vs Zack Ryder, & I can see them adding the stipulation of: "If Zack loses he cannot challenge for the US Title while Dolph is Champion" or something thereof

I am not the least bit excited about this match...

I just don't see how Mason and Wade fit in, cause I mean Cody & Orton are somewhat feuding, are they going to transfer the feud from Cody/Orton to Wade/Orton. And I thought that WWE was somewhat grooming Mason to go after the US Title.
