With another week of WWE television behind us, here’s the top 5 performances of the week.
WWE offers up plenty of programming over the course of a week. Even when there’s no pay per view, there’s at least seven hours of original programming. With Raw and SmackDown Live on USA, plus 205 Live and NXT on the WWE Network, it’s a lot to focus on at times. This week, factor in a terrific NXT TakeOver event, and a mostly great Survivor Series, and there’s a chance of burnout even before the turkey hit the Thanksgiving plates.
But for those of us who can make it through the marathon, there’s usually quite a bit to keep our interest. Regardless of what some people say about the quality of programming, as far as in-ring talent goes this is one of the golden periods for WWE. Sure, storylines may be stale, boring, and ridiculous – even nonsensical – but the matches themselves are rarely terrible across the board.
To try and keep track of who stood out on a week to week basis, here at Daily DDT we’ll be taking a look at the top five performers in a given week. Since WWE is a wrestling company (despite what Vince McMahon may try and tell us), we’re going to focus on wrestling performances. After all, you can’t have a wrestling show without wrestling, right?
Between WarGames and Survivor Series, there was plenty of great in-ring action to go around. Because of that, I decided to break with my usual policy of one big list of everything to give NXT its own post. So, in no particular order, here is the best of the best of this past week of WWE main roster action.
