7:20 PM EST: Booker T and the rest of the panel are talking about Bray Wyatt and why he does what he does. Paul Heyman makes a great point. Wyatt is calculated, while Ambrose is a wild man with no direction. What will happen?
7:15 PM EST: That was… interesting? Fandango has a new shirt and music but beyond that, he seems to essentially be the same character. One would have to wonder, why bill him as the new and improved Fandango? To what end?
7:12 PM EST: Fandango is having his way with Justin Gabriel. Fandango attempts a German suplex, but Gabriel lands on his feet. Gabriel springboards off the top, Fandango moves and clotheslines Gabriel out of his boots. Fandango hits his top rope leg drop for the win.

7:10 PM EST: Singles match: Fandango w/Rosa Mendes vs. Justin Gabriel.

7:03 PM EST: The preshow crew consist of Paul Heyman, Renee Young, Booker T, and “Teflon” Alex Riley.
5:00 PM EST: It was announced on Smackdown this week that is Team Cena loses, every member (except John Cena) will be fired. That is one heck of a stipulation. Who knew that on top of the existing stipulation (if The Authority loses they are out of power) now all of Team Cena’s jobs are on the line? Conventional wisdom would say that the good guys would prevail, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. In this writer’s mind that added stipulation makes the ending of this match a lot more intriguing. Did anyone else notice that every time Team Authority decimated a member of Team Cena, John Cena was no where to be found? Dolph Ziggler has by far gotten it the worst out of the group. Ziggler was basically triple teamed when he lost the Intercontinental title to Luke Harper. Everyone pay close attention to the last 10 minutes of this match. Something major is going to go down, one way or the other.
4:45 PM EST: Dean Ambrose is going to take on Bray Wyatt in a battle of the tweeners. It’s funny no matter how many evil things either of these superstars do, they are still loved by the WWE universe. It seems like a natural progression to have the two of them butt heads. The backstory on this one is a bit sketchy and by sketchy, we mean why the heck are the fighting. Either way, it should be a stiff, hard-hitting match. Let’s pray this conflict escalates into a few good gimmick matches as well.
4:37 PM EST: Gold and Stardust will be defending there tag titles in a four way match against Los Matadores, Miz and Mizdow, and the Usos. Los Matadores will be in a rare pay per view match. This match could go either way. All of the teams involved have been battling the last few weeks to build up to this epic four-way encounter. One thing that needs to be said is Damien Mizdow is currently the most over wrestler in WWE. Let’s all pray that it leads to a push of some sort. He has proven in the past that he can hang with the best of them.

4:28 PM EST: AJ Lee will defend her Divas Championship against Naomi… err Natalya… err… Emma… no… against sigh Nikki Bella. Now, there is nothing wrong with either Bella twin, but putting AJ in the middle of their feud make little to no sense. AJ’s feud with Paige was going very well. There was no reason to end it. This whole situation reeks of when they took the World Heavyweight title off of CM Punk because the HBK/Jericho feud “needed” the title. All signs point to this leading to Bella vs. Bella for the title, which would be ok if they weren’t jobbing out the face of the Divas division to do it.
4:22 PM EST: There will be a tradition four-on-four Survivor Series match that pits Natalya, Alicia Fox, Naomi, and Emma against Paige, Cameron, Summer Rae, and Layla. As noted in the Vavel USA Survivor Series prediction piece, it is awesome to have more than one traditional Survivor Series match, but it is hard to get super excited about this match. The Divas division has been in shambles as of late. Hopefully if these Divas are given a good amount of time to work with, maybe they can reignite some interest in the mid card Divas division. The focal point here is the feud between Paige and Alicia, so expect them to spend the majority of the time in the ring. Cameron, Naomi, Layla, and Emma are likely to e quickly eliminated solely for the sake of making this match move along much quicker.
4:18 PM EST: So who is it going to be? Will it be a debuting superstar? Someone from NXT? Sting? Yes, you read that right. Rumors are running rampant this weekend that Sting will be debuting during Survivor Series. Granted it would be awesome to finally see Sting, but this probably would not be the best use of him. The only thing that would make Sting facing Fandango palatable is if he somehow gets involved later in the show as well.
4:16 PM EST: On the Survivor Series preshow the new and improved Fandango (w/Rosa Mendes) will face off against an opponent that is to be determined. This writer happens to like Fandango, but this match isn’t going to take up a half hour and even if it did, do we really want it to? Another thing, if the match is about Fandango’s return, why is his opponent not being disclosed? All signs point to this being less about the returning Fandango and more about whomever he is going to be facing.
Vavel USA Survivor Series predictions.
4:13 PM EST: An upside to a short card is that the superstars will be given a lot of time to work. One of the main complaints about Raw, Smackdown, and other pay per views is that some of the matches seem rushed. It is hard to put on a five star match if you only have seven minutes to work with. So in essence the amount of time per match will be a good thing. Although, it is not like the matches on the card feature anyone known for putting on 40-minute five star classic matches.
4:08 PM EST: As epic as the final encounter will be at Survivor Series between The Authority and Team Cena, the rest of the card leaves a bit to be desired. For starters there are only five matches on the main card. This being a three hour pay per view, it hard not to wonder how they are going to fill up all of the time.
4:05 PM EST: It has been a while since we have had a pay per view with so much on the line. It is fitting that this is happening at one of the big four pay per views. There hasn’t been enough stock put into the significance of all of the big four pay per views as of late. Granted, WrestleMania and SummerSlam are thought of as the two biggest shows of the year, the Royal Rumble and Survivor Series used to be just as important. With this year’s Royal Rumble being touted as the biggest ever and tonight’s Survivor Series having a main event that will alter the landscape of WWE for years to come, both shows may finally return to prominence.
Welcome to Vavel USA’s live coverage of the 2014 WWE Survivor Series. WWE will never be the same as Team Authority and Team Cena go head to head. In the end, will The Authority still have a stranglehold on the throat of WWE? Or will there be a new sheriff in town? Survivor Series begins at 7:30pm EST time on November 23, 2014.
