5 bold predictions for WWE Survivor Series 2021: Shield reunion, former Royal Rumble winner returns

#4 Asuka returns as the surprise member of Team SmackDown at WWE Survivor Series

WWE Survivor Series 2021 will feature Team RAW vs. Team SmackDown in a 5-on-5 women's elimination match. While the red brand's team is set, the blue brand still has one spot to fill. Initially, Aliyah was in the match but was removed last week by Sonya Deville.

We could see a surprise return at Survivor Series this Sunday in the form of former Royal Rumble winner Asuka. The Empress of Tomorrow could join Team SmackDown as the fifth member. Asuka was one of the few undrafted superstars at last month's WWE Draft and could join the roster of SmackDown.

#3 Sonya Deville adds herself to Team SmackDown at WWE Survivor Series

Another interesting choice for the fifth member of Team SmackDown at Survivor Series would be Sonya Deville. As noted earlier, she was the one responsible for removing Aliyah from the team.

After losing to Mandy Rose at SummerSlam 2020, Deville returned to WWE earlier this year and has taken up the role of an on-screen official. A few weeks ago, she returned to the ring to take on Naomi. Deville defeated her after some major assistance from Shayna Baszler. With Baszler already on Team SmackDown, Deville adding herself as the fifth member could make things very interesting.
