Well this is interesting.
WWE initially announced the Survivor Series free live streaming pre-show on YouTube, Facebook and WWE.com this Sun., Nov. 18, 2012, from Indianapolis, Indiana, would feature 3MB members Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal taking on Team CoBro, Zack Ryder and Santino Marella.
Not anymore.
Indeed, the company website today announced the switch without actually giving any explanation for it.
The WWE Universe's favorite life-loving musical group, 3MB, will have the chance to solidify its place in WWE's tag team hierarchy this Sunday in a bout against Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel on the free Survivor Series Pre-Show. The Pre-Show will stream live on WWE.com, Facebook.com/WWE and YouTube.com/WWE starting at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT, just before WWE's fall classic.
Though it is not yet confirmed which two members will represent 3MB, the match will be significant for WWE's stacked tag division regardless of which two-thirds of the air-guitar-shredding triumvirate shows up in ring gear. With WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No appearing as fragile as ever, all duos are looking to move up the ranks and try their hands at exploiting Kane & Daniel Bryan's uneasy partnership. A win on the Survivor Series Pre-Show holds the potential to bump either 3MB or the unofficial "International Airstrike" up a few pegs.
Is that the first time Gabriel and Kidd have been referred to as "International Airstrike"? Maybe WWE couldn't get the copyright for "Team CoBro" like it was attempting to do?
Who knows.
It's also interesting that it's being teased it could be any mix and match of the three members of 3MB for the team, considering Drew McIntyre has been out of action as of late dealing with the death of his mother.
Either way, we've got a new Survivor Series pre-show match and dare I say, it's much better than the one that was set before it. Agree or disagree?
