4 matches which could happen at WWE Survivor Series

In 2016 WWE restructured the traditional Survivor Series pay-per-view to a brand war. This was a welcome move since it revitalised the slowly dying Survivor Series. Now it is one of the most awaited PPVs of the year.

The 2016 edition of Survivor Series was heavily lauded for the match quality, especially the men's traditional elimination match and the match between Goldberg and Brock Lesnar. The build-up to the 2017 edition of the PPV was outstanding, with both RAW and SmackDown invading each other's show.

Although the main event was underwhelming, the rest of the card was heavily praised, especially the match between Brock Lesnar and AJ Styles.

It is almost certain that WWE would be following the same pattern for Survivor Series 2018, as RAW's Acting General Manager Baron Corbin fired the first shot at SmackDown Live General Manager Paige on Twitter. If WWE is going down the same path, here are some clashes that could happen at the PPV.

#4 Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler vs The New Day

Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler retained their RAW tag team titles at Hell in a Cell

Although many fans are tired of seeing New Day at the top of the tag team division, they can't deny the fact that The New Day is one of the best tag teams in the business.

On the other hand, the team of Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler has just revitalised the RAW tag team division after defeating the B-team and putting an outstanding match against the team of Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose at WWE Hell in a Cell 2018.

These two teams have been a part of the best tag team matches in 2018 on their respective brands, with The New Day defeating The Bludgeon Brothers in a grueling no DQ match and The Show defeating Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose at HIAC. It would be unfair for these two teams to drop the title before Survivor Series and miss out on a great match.

#3 Ronda Rousey vs Charlotte Flair

It would be a mouth watering encounter

It is not a matter of if, but when will WWE do a Charlotte vs Ronda Rousey match. This has been one of their dream matches. The major reason why Charlotte snapped Asuka's undefeated streak was to build her up for her ultimate fight against the former UFC Women's Champion.

Although Becky is the current SmackDown Women's Champion and the fan favorite, WWE might take the title off her to build their dream match.

#2 Seth Rollins vs Shinsuke Nakamura

Rollins and Nakamura

Shinsuke Nakamura vs Seth Rollins is the dream match you never knew you need. Both Indie darlings have not yet crossed paths. With Seth Rollins as the IC Champion and Nakamura as the US Champion, it would be easy to see why there is a good chance for The Architect and The King of Strong Style to be on opposite sides of the ring.

The only time these two shared a ring was during the Royal Rumble 2018, which Nakamura ultimately won. If these two are pitted against each other and given 20 minutes, the probability of WWE producing another 5-star main roster match will go up.

#1 Roman Reigns vs AJ Styles

Reigns vs Styles

Roman Reigns and AJ Styles have crossed path twice in singles competition. They had an outstanding match at WWE Extreme Rules 2016 where Roman pinned AJ Styles after countering a phenomenal forearm to a spear. The chemistry between these two guys is exceptional.

Although AJ Styles vs Seth Rollins is a much more anticipated dream match, given the situation, AJ Styles vs Roman Reigns will be the best plausible match. The Big Dog is set to defend the Universal Championship against Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar.

However, Brock Lesnar is going back to UFC and Braun Strowman vs AJ Styles does not sound better than Roman Reigns vs AJ Styles. Even Styles is scheduled to defend his title against Samoa Joe. But we all know how the match between Joe and Reigns wound up.

Strowman and Joe can get their title somewhere down the line, but AJ Styles and Roman Reigns must be the respective top champions at the time of Survivor Series.
