5 Shocking outcomes that could happen at Survivor Series

#2 Rey Mysterio winning the WWE Championship

Can Rey Mysterio defeat Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series?

Rey Mysterio vs Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship is set to happen at Survivor Series and while this essentially looks like a squash match on paper, outside factors surrounding this feud show otherwise. In fact, between Lesnar's ongoing feud with Cain Velasquez and the WWE Universe demanding a Fiend vs Lesnar match, it seems like anything can happen.

Of course it would be very strange to have Mysterio defeat Lesnar for the WWE Title only a month after 'The Beast Incarnate' destroyed Kofi Kingston for the belt, but it would be a nice shock to the system. It would also create something new for the overall title picture, which is always popular with fans.

The best part of it is that the outside factors surrounding the match could make it so Brock Lesnar can lose the title and still look strong in defeat. For example, Lesnar could destroy Mysterio, leading to Velasquez making the save and aiding Mysterio in taking the title away from 'The Beast.'

Perhaps WWE could go a step further, have Mysterio get destroyed, and then have Lesnar focus his attention on Dominic. This would allow for The Fiend to instead make the save, become a firm babyface in the process, and set up The Fiend vs Lesnar down the line.

WWE could even do both of these things without having the title change hands, but that would also run into the problem of WWE again going with the status quo. That's why WWE almost needs to move the title at Survivor Series and interference gives the company the perfect opportunity to do so.
