5 Legitimate Shockers WWE Could Be Planning For Survivor Series

The anticipation surrounding this Sunday's Survivor Series is tremendous, with WWE doing a very fine job of booking some promising encounters for the event.

Daniel Bryan's much talked about heel turn has brought him an opportunity to lock horns with the Beast Incarnate in a 'Champion Vs. Champion' bout.

With Becky Lynch now sidelined from the show with an unfortunate injury, Charlotte will now step up to the occasion to have a headlining encounter with the Raw Women's Champion, Ronda Rousey.

Since the match-card looks extremely fascinating, a lot depends on the creative team and their booking for the event to actually work and deliver something special.

Considering that Survivor Series has always been known for bringing many surprises to the spotlight, this Sunday's event could end up being the one we might never forget.

Here are the 5 legitimate shockers WWE could be planning for Survivor Series.

#1 Shinsuke Nakamura unleashes the Strong Style and turns face to defeat Seth Rollins clean

Will this make Nakamura a big deal again?

While a lot of the fans might despise this idea as an impossible one, the blue brand desperately needs someone to step up and fill the position of Daniel Bryan.

Considering that the WWE Champion has turned heel, the show doesn't have any significant babyfaces except A.J. Styles and Rey Mysterio, and with Nakamura's heel run becoming stale, this is an ideal opportunity for him to turn face.

The only match that could possibly unleash the 'Strong Style' in Nakamura is his encounter with Seth Rollins this Sunday at Survivor Series.

The Architect is well proficient in bringing the best out of his opponents and with an offensive striker like Shinsuke, this match could very well end up being one of the most prolific encounters in the company's history.

Since Dean Ambrose's betrayal is a worrying signal as far as Rollins' focus is concerned, defeating Rollins clean at the show could possibly present Nakamura in a more stronger role than he is, at this point.

With his contract also scheduled to be up in 2019, this would be an ideal time for WWE to capitalize on the asset they have in the Japanese Sensation and let him have fun with his offensive in-ring style.

Remember, a great in-ring wrestling match can catapult a directionless individual into a money-making superstar, and this Sunday Nakamura must shock the world.

#2 Nikki Cross fills the final vacant spot and reignites her rivalry with Asuka in the Traditional Survivor Series Match

A strong way to book them both

With Charlotte taking Becky Lynch's spot at Survivor Series, a final spot has been left vacant in the blue brand's Women's team for this Sunday's traditional tag-team match.

While a lot of the fans have predicted for Mandy Rose to fill that spot, the company could throw a legitimate surprise and bring Nikki Cross to maximize SmackDown's chances in the match.

Nikki Cross' debut encounter with Becky Lynch did fell a little disappointing as far as the outcome is concerned, but the former could very well bounce back into the frame this Sunday.

Since Asuka is also an influential member of the blue brand this Sunday, miscommunications between the two could be interesting enough to set things for the future.

Both the competitors have went to war with each other before, and with Nikki Cross bringing a rejuvenating character to the main roster, her clash with Asuka could be very promising for both.

The clash of two legitimate women wrestlers in the traditional Survivor Series match could play a significant factor in the red brand defeating the blue brand to win the match.

#3 Daniel Bryan puts his heel tactics on full display to defeat Brock Lesnar by unfair means

Will the Beard garner more heat?

Daniel Bryan's recent heel turn has definitely come as a shock to many, with many fans questioning the Beard's intentions in using unfair means to win the WWE Championship.

Since Paul Heyman has already established Daniel Bryan as the greatest in-ring performer today, it definitely puts the WWE Champion in the driver's seat to take the Beast Incarnate to his limits this Sunday.

With Brock Lesnar Vs. Daniel Bryan giving all the feels of a headlining match, this bout could certainly see the Beard put his heel tactics on full display in order to surprise the world.

Survivor Series already turns out be a very difficult night for Lesnar, and with Bryan now a heel, he could pull off a massive shocker and defeat the Mayor of Suplex City to garner more heat.

There's no denying that Daniel Bryan's character was becoming a bit stale and his heel turn would certainly catapult him on a different level now. A victory over Brock Lesnar this Sunday by unfair means would protect the Beast as well as gravitate more heat towards the Yes! Man.

#4 Charlotte defeats Ronda Rousey after Becky Lynch costs the distraction

Are they friends again?

After being sidelined with a severe concussion and injury, Becky Lynch chose a shocking competitor to lock horns with Ronda Rousey this Sunday at Survivor Series in Charlotte.

Since the Relentless One is still throwing shots at the Rowdy One, this rivalry is certainly not over and might play a significant factor in this Sunday's special dream match.

There's no denying that the company sees Charlotte as a very special asset to the women's division which could coerce them to book a splendid finish for this match.

Becky Lynch acting as a potential distraction in this bout could keep this rivalry alive and would also fulfil WWE's aim of booking Charlotte as a strong competitor.

Considering that Ronda Rousey will enter the Staples Center with an injured arm, the Queen and the Champ could gang up on her and bring something special to the canvas.

#5 Drew Mcintyre eliminates all members of the blue brand by himself

A massive push is coming

After annihilating Kurt Angle on Monday Night Raw, WWE have finally started acknowledging Drew Mcintyre as 'The Guy' who is filling the spot left by Roman Reigns.

With the Scottish Terminator set for a massive push, he certainly would enter the Staples Center to demolish SmackDown Live and get the victory for Monday Night Raw.

Impressing Stephanie McMahon could make him a potential challenger for the Universal Championship and would put him on a pedestal under Vince McMahon's supervision.

Blockbuster confrontations with Samoa Joe, Rey Mysterio, and Jeff Hardy could be pretty incredible and the former NXT Champion would make the best of the opportunities presented to him.

Defeating all the members of the blue brand by himself would be a risky decision, but would play very well in building and propelling Drew Mcintyre as the next-in-line to dethrone Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35.
