00:00We have a new United States Champion! CM Punk and Roman Reigns did get on the same page.

00:06But at what cost? Because I think it's going to lead to Punk turning heel on the OTC. Well,

00:12you know me. And, most importantly, Naomi had a tiny little hat.

00:19I'm Oli Davis, and this is my review of WWE Survivor Series 2024.

00:29In the next 5 weeks, we've got our best and worst of 2024 videos, Saturday night's

00:53main event to cover, and Raw's huge move to Netflix on January 6th. So make sure you're

00:59subscribed to WrestleTalk with notifications always switched on.

01:02The main card opened with the Women's WarGames match, where the ladyface side of Rhea Ripley,

01:06Bayley, Bianca Belair, Io, Sky and Naomi took on the baddie side of Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton,

01:12Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez and Candice LeRae. Who, shockingly, didn't take the pin. Because

01:17why would you pin the WWE Speed Champion when you've got your Women's World Champion

01:21right there? The match started out pretty cool with the

01:24entrances, with Ripley coming out in a horned half devil mask. CALM DOWN DOM, I SAID HORNED,

01:29NOT HORNY. But that wasn't even the best bit of headgear, because Naomi, and I'm

01:34not making this up, was wearing a tiny little party hat because it was her birthday. She

01:39wore the tiny little party hat both for her entrance and for when she went into the actual

01:43WarGames cage, but, tragically, fell off in the first move.

01:57Nia and Bayley started off the actual match, a callback to their Summerslam title fight

02:01in August, which let Jax hit some of the weakest looking chair shots of all time. Naomi came

02:06in, lost her party hat, but did get to use a toilet seat as a weapon. Where she took

02:10what the online wrestling community had been doing for years, taking a metaphorical poop

02:15on Nia, putting the seat round her head and giving her a stinkface.

02:18Candice came in next, followed by Bianca and Tiffany, but the match really started to click

02:23when my favourite, and one of the best wrestlers in the whole company, entered. Io Sky.

02:29Rather than getting the cage through the door like a loser, she climbed up the side of the

02:33cage with her own custom purple and yellow trash can with string on it so she could carry

02:37it more easily. Which I guess she painted and prepared earlier that day and then hid

02:41it under the ring before the show. Not like a loser.

02:47It turned out to be Chekov's trash can, as she left it on top of the cage until everyone

02:52had entered. Io had the match's best sequences with Stratton,

02:55and the two worked excellently together, and it was their I can do anything better than

02:59you dynamic that climaxed with them both on the top of the cage. But Io's crazy trash

03:04can wearing moonsault and Stratton's swanton to be hitting stereo. I now want Stratton

03:09and Io to be on the same brand to feud. Just maybe not over a title, because Tiffany

03:13is never going to cash in that briefcase. We got another cash-in-tease spot again as

03:18Stratton revealed her Money in the Bank briefcase from inside one of the trash cans. Standing

03:23over both Nia and Liv's unconscious bodies, we'll never know who she was going to cash

03:27in on as Io broke it up. There was a chaotic sequence where everyone

03:31started whipping each other, and Liv produced a pair of handcuffs from her bosom. Raquel

03:40ended up getting handcuffed to the top rope, meaning Rhea had Morgan all to herself, hitting

03:44the Riptide off the top rope through a table on her to win. Meaning their never-ending

03:48feud will likely continue. Overall this match was much better in the

03:56second half, but considering how well WWE treated the Hell in a Cell stipulation at

04:00Bad Blood, this didn't need to be a WarGames match. I get gender equality, I'm on board

04:06with it, but that doesn't mean you have to overexpose certain stipulations when you

04:10don't have a necessarily fleshed out story. This is my Triple H impression. We're going

04:14to make Hell in a Cell special, only have it once every five years, participants sell

04:18it for over a month. Also Triple H, TWO WARGAMES MATCHES IN ONE

04:22NIGHT. Maybe this could've been a traditional 5-on-5 match to make the main event stipulation

04:27feel more special. Before I get into the show's only title change, here's a message

06:49in your journey towards your dream role in one of the world's most exciting industries

06:54starts now. Going into the United States title match,

07:02I did predict Shinsuke Nakamura to beat LA Knight. Not because I'm particularly invested

07:07in Nakamura's new presentation, or that Knight's title reign is reaching a crescendo.

07:11It was because I felt the show needed a title change. I couldn't see it happening elsewhere

07:16on the card. The 10 minute match mostly had Shinsuke on

07:18top, which ended abruptly off a DDT on the steel part between the two rings and a Kinshasa

07:24for him to become the new United States Champion, breaking that unfortunate streak of Nakamura

07:29always losing his feuds. It feels like an unceremonious end for Knight's

07:33title reign, but he also never really got a classic feud to make his championship run

07:37special. The most interesting thing about his US title reign was Andrade and Carmelo

07:42Hayes fighting each other. At least Nakamura's win here will freshen up the division.

07:46Raw's Intercontinental title scene, however, please just fight forever.

07:50Brom Breaker vs Sheamus vs Ludwig Kaiser was my match of the night. 15 minutes at the stiffest,

07:57fastest beat you've ever seen for a German guy to keep cutting off the action.

08:01Each man played their role perfectly. Sheamus was the Lion's Pride babyface, fighting

08:05no matter what to get the one title that's eluded him in his career. Breaker was the

08:09inhumanly fast tweener, hitting a crazy jumping shoulder tackle, a crazy flying double lariat

08:15outside and a crazy perfect top rope frankensteiner. Seriously, who needs Brock Lesnar back when

08:21you've got this guy? And Ludwig was the excellent heel foil, cutting

08:25either Sheamus or Breaker off, posing arrogantly for the other guy to give him his comeuppance.

08:30Like Sheamus awesomely rising Keith Lee style behind him from the barricade. But Ludwig

08:34got revenge of his own when he pulled the referee out of the ring for Sheamus' amazing

08:39Brogue Kick near fall on Braun. Which might've actually been the spot of the night.

08:43Breaker literally speared Kaiser out the ring for the finish, and hit another one on

08:47Sheamus to retain. This was such a great match that, even though these three guys have been

08:51feuding since before the Summer, I would be happy for them to keep going forever. Which

08:56is more than I can say for some other rivalries on Raw.

09:00Gunther and Damian Priest worked a classic World Heavyweight title pace 20 minute match.

09:05Different from the chaos of the WarGames opener, the US title change and the fast paced threeway,

09:10this SummerSlam rematch slowed it down to tell a story. Gunther has become so low on

09:16confidence, Priest is even getting the better of him on his own turf. Damian was outwrestling

09:24the Ring General. This changed when Priest started selling his arm when he twinked it

09:28hitting a flapjack. But even though Gunther didn't cause this opening, he sure did exploit

09:33it, telling the oddly heartwarming babyface comeback story of him regaining his confidence

09:38by trying to break another man's arm. Damian fought valiantly, attempting the Razor's

09:43Edge with his weakened arm three times before he actually hit it. But this was always going

09:49to happen. Priest spilled outside, the referee was busy tending to Gunther, so, of course,

09:55we got interference. Finn Balor hit a Coup de Grace off the steel

10:01steps onto Priest. It was predictable, and unfortunately confirms their feud must continue.

10:06But at least they had a surprising follow-up. The heel Gunther giving Balor a big boot for

10:11daring to taint his match. And that's the cool thing about Gunther. Even though he's

10:15a heel, he's consistent with his moral code. And being reminded of that when he took out

10:20Balor helped him kind of get his mojo back, making Priest pass out in a sleeper to retain.

10:25The story was clearly laid out from the very start with the main event Bloodline vs Bloodline

10:30WarGames match. Solo Sakoah's new blood faction came out as one cohesive unit, all

10:35united under Solo's vision. They love him, you don't even need to ask. Jacob, he'll

10:41tell you. But every single member of the OG Bloodline

10:44came out separately. Jey Uso, the first guy in, didn't even come out through the same

10:49entrance tunnel. He came in through the crowd. They're all major singles stars in their

10:53own right. The question was, could they work together?

10:57After about 15 minutes of entrances, even the Cage got an entrance, we found out when

11:02Jey and Tama Tonga started things off. Bronson Reed was in next, who somehow had more tag

11:06team chemistry with Tama than Tama's own brother and tag partner since 2008 Tonga Loa.

11:11And Jimmy was in after him, completing the OG's own internal tag team with Jey.

11:16Then came another fantastic, non-verbal mirrored piece of storytelling. Tonga Loa was going

11:21to go out next, but Solo stopped him. I guess even Sakoah doesn't trust Tonga Loa not

11:25to botch things in kayfabe. Because Solo wanted Jacob for two out next

11:29instead. Loa respected, nay, loved Solo's decision.

11:34But when CM Punk went to go out next for his team, Roman put an arm across to stop him,

11:39making Sami Zayn go out instead, which Punk neither respected or loved.

11:44All three men's performances here were perfect, giving us this new meme of Punk and Roman

11:49hating being in the same shark cage as each other. Please comment below with some fun

11:53captions for that image. So when the next round came, Roman was about

11:57to enter when Punk awesomely bumped past him at the last second.

12:11THIS IS WHY THE HEELS SHOULD HAVE THE ADVANTAGE IN A WARGAMES MATCH.

12:15The two awesomely no-sold punks running Bulldog onto a toolbox, and Sakoah entered next to

12:19beat up the good guys. They chained the cage door shut so Roman wouldn't be able to get

12:25I guess they didn't watch the WarGames match with Io earlier.

12:28You need the heel advantage because this is the moment where all hope appears lost.

12:33And then you build to the hot tag huge babyface comeback.

12:37Using his smarts, but sadly not his own custom painted bin, Roman climbed over the cage to

12:41get inside. The match beyond began, where Punk and Roman

12:44kept clashing, with Reigns helping everyone up but Punk, and then Roman accidentally spearing

12:49him too. So Punk must have a hell of a long term plan to swallow his anger.

12:55He saved Roman in a perfectly timed spot, pulling him out of the way of Bronson's

13:00top of the cage tsunami through a table, where Reed might've legitimately injured himself.

13:04Only then did Roman extend his hand to help Punk up.

13:08Jimmy hit his own splash off the top of the cage to take out Fatu, where Jimmy genuinely

13:12broke his own toe. And then the WarGames were up.

13:15Solo was surrounded, and Reigns let everyone hit their moves before him, a sign of the

13:19Tribal Chief letting everyone eat their kill first, for him to hit the spear to win.

13:26Kind of like the Priest vs Balor and Rhea vs Liv feuds, though, the match was somewhat

13:30dulled by knowing what the next logical storyline steps are.

13:34Even though the action and drama were great, it's going to be Roman vs Solo next, which

13:38is probably only the third most interesting follow up to this match.

13:42Roman vs Fatu and Roman vs Punk are far more exciting.

13:46Which brings me to what Punk's plan might be.

13:51After they all posed together in the ring, weirdly with the bloodline acknowledging Roman,

13:55but Punk doing sleepy time face, Punk embraced Paul Heyman outside, where he reminded him

14:00he did all this for a reason.

14:03We owe each other, but when I need a favour, I'm going to come ask.

14:09To which Heyman replied, it's yours.

14:12This is surely building to a Punk vs Roman match.

14:15Maybe not at WrestleMania, maybe not even in 2025, but most likely with Punk turning

14:20heel with Heyman.

14:22Reigns should watch his back, because as soon as he becomes champion again, I think that's

14:27exactly when Punk is going to cash in that favour.

14:31And then we all sat around for ages, waiting until the very end of the stream for The Rock

14:35or Brock Lesnar or, I don't know, Giovanni Vinci to show up.

14:39But it was just the normal babyfaces winning clothes.

14:41Oh wait, but there's a backstage angle after this show went off air.

14:44Oh, it's just Judgement Day being an uppriest again.

14:46I don't care.

14:48This was a decent show at 75%.
