At the time when it was held, the 2015 edition of Survivor Series didn't exactly receive a lot of praise. But whilst it hardly stands out as an epic event upon the second viewing on DVD, it still has its moments, even if it doesn't really feel like a major supershow.

The first two matches are actually quite good: Roman Reigns vs. Alberto Del Rio is an underrated battle and a nice start to the PPV, whilst Dean Ambrose vs. Kevin Owens is better still with some really cool spots and high-impact moves. These are the semi-finals of the tournament to crown a new WWE Champion after Seth Rollins went down with injury; the final, between Reigns and Ambrose, would be the Survivors main event.

The 29th annual edition of the Survivor Series had two main talking points heading into the show: the tournament for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship (which in itself brought about other potential discussion topics, as I will explain), and the show marking the 25th anniversary of The Undertaker's debut. In the end, neither scenario brought about a big surprise, although a show-closing swerve did provide Survivor Series with a memorable if slightly familiar ending.

That being said, beforehand, there was genuine concern about a potential attack on the show by extremists, in light of recent world events. Whether it be due to tightened security or such chatter being hearsay, the event fortunately did not suffer from such problems; as it often has, WWE stood tall and went on with the show despite the fear that the rumours had caused. A perfect example of this was Lilian Garcia opening Survivor Series with a powerful rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner.
