WWE Survivor Series 2017: 5 potential finishes for the Women's Traditional Survivor Series match 

If you missed all the announcers, team captains and authority figures of both brands repeating the same phrase continually, Survivor Series is the only time of the year when RAW goes head to head with SmackDown Live in a direct competition.

Survivor Series is almost upon us and we thought that we'd bring you a preview of one of the most intriguing matches on the card. This is the women's Survivor Series match and one that has a lot of interest in it.

You can follow Sportskeeda's live updates and coverage of Survivor Series 2017 right here.

This is because of the title change that occurred last week on SmackDown Live when Charlotte Flair usurped Natalya to become the SmackDown Live Women's Champion. As a result, she'll be facing Alexa Bliss in a battle of champions.

What this essentially means is that there's a spot open in the SmackDown Live team. This brings about several intriguing possibilities. We shall discuss some of them in this feature. Read on, guys!

#5 Natalya's the fifth woman, Asuka whitewashes competition

This is by far, the most underwhelming scenario

It is no secret that Asuka has been booked as an unbeatable war goddess, both in NXT and now also in the main roster. She has a winning streak that even surpasses Goldberg's own, and has not been pinned or submitted ever since she stepped into WWE.

Because Charlotte Flair took Natalya's spot in the singles competition, it would make sense for Natalya to take Flair's. While this may seem like an underwhelming scenario, it would give Asuka a chance to run through competition, and raise Team RAW's hands sky high once again.

This could be a great chance for Asuka to showcase her dominance, to the audience that does not watch NXT, before she is thrust into the title mix, in time. You better watch out, Alexa Bliss.

It would also be cool for Asuka to tease a confrontation with someone like Becky Lynch, for a match sometime in the future.

#4 Paige is the surprise entrant/sole survivor

Will this be Paige's house, once again?

Paige's return is certain to be a big deal. She has been spotted backstage recently, and rumours of her return have sent the internet into a real frenzy. It is being speculated that she will be the fifth member of team SmackDown Live.

If she is, it only makes sense for her to be the sole survivor of this particular match. After all, you don't make a valiant return to WWE after months of being on the shelf, only to lose to the competition. The question, then, is how do you protect Asuka's winning streak?

You can always involve her in a disqualification or a countout, allowing her streak to remain intact while making Paige the star of this particular match. In time, the two women could even clash in a big marquee match!

This is, of course, the best case scenario, unless WWE pulls a rabbit out of their hat and books the following finish...

#3 Ronda Rousey debuts and destroys Team Red

It's well known that Ronda Rousey is a huge WWE fan

There have been certain rumours that have been circulating that Ronda Rousey is on her way to WWE. She was even said to have been training for an in-ring debut soon.

WWE has gone all out for Survivor Series, with superstars like Triple H, Kurt Angle and John Cena being booked for this mammoth show. If they want to take the match to the next level, Rousey could be a great surprise entrant.

Rousey could also be the first woman to break Asuka's winning streak. If she were to do so, it would set up a match between these two phenomenally gifted women down the line, and fans would absolutely love it.

Also, if Rousey does debut, you book her in a winning spot. It won't make sense for her to lose her first match. She needs to look like a monster! An unbeatable one.

#2 Natalya is the 5th member, Becky Lynch triumphs

Could Becky Lynch become SmackDown Live's MVP soon?

At first glance, Becky Lynch seems like the perfect sports entertainer. She's pretty, she's funny and she's a pretty good professional wrestler too. Unfortunately, she's always been the underdog of the Horsewomen. Somehow, she's never achieved her potential.

With Charlotte Flair as the leading babyface in SmackDown Live, she will need another superstar to work with. If you survey the landscape, Lynch seems like the best option, even if she's a babyface much like Charlotte Flair. The two could have some excellent matches.

Survivor Series 2017 could be a showcase match for Lynch to lead the team she's captaining to victory, and eventually, challenge for the big title. Flair and Lynch can recreate the same magic that Flair and Banks did recently, on RAW.

#1 Bayley and Banks implode, Team Blue wins

This is a story that has played out over months

The seeds of dissent between Sasha Banks and Bayley have been sown over months now. Things came to a head when Banks was chosen for the Survivor Series team, but Bayley was not in that particular week. The very next week, she qualified in a triple threat match.

All of this points to one possibility. Bayley may turn heel during the match and take out her best friend in the whole roster. This could lead to a full-fledged program between the two erstwhile BFFs, in due time.

Both of them have been stuck in limbo for a while now. Both of them want to recreate the magic from their historic confrontation during their mind-blowing NXT match.

So many possibilities. Join us live for Survivor Series 2017 to witness which of them play out. Let us know in the comments, what you think. See you this weekend!
