Survivor Series is traditionally one of the top four PPV events of the year in WWE. The nearly-30 year history of the event has seen many famous and infamous moments since the first edition in 1987, and its late autumn timing often makes it a good starting point for storylines which will ultimately culminate at WrestleMania. Even if that isn't the case on some SSeries cards, you can generally rely on big plotlines and important matches to peak on this show.

Unfortunately, WWE may not have gotten the memo this year, because the card looked subpar beforehand. A WWE Title match with a good build-up could not overcome the fact that Big Show was a less popular challenger for Randy Orton's title than Daniel Bryan. John Cena vs. Alberto Del Rio was a rematch from Hell In A Cell, which in itself is a rerun of their 2011 feud. And whilst CM Punk and Daniel Bryan vs. The Wyatts was a fresh match, it still didn't feel like a major match for a show of this magnitude. Considering that these were the three top matches on the show, it's no surprise that the anticipation wasn't exactly high for this card, especially since WWE used the pre-PPV episode of Raw to pay tribute to country music more than hyping up the last of the Big Four supershows of the year.
