5 SmackDown stars who can replace Aliyah on the Survivor Series team

#2. Former Smackdown Women's Champion Asuka

Asuka has been out of WWE television for months now and a return as part of the Smackdown Women's Survivor Series team could be possible. The Empress of Tomorrow has been dominant for the entirety of her career and that might not change once she returns.

Due to her months of absence, WWE can decide to tweak her character and make her debut as a heel. That way, she can pledge allegiance to Sonya Deville and become the authority figure's handpicked representative of the brand.

This will boost not only Smackdown's chances of winning the match but also their Women's division overall.

#1 Smackdown Authority figure Sonya Deville could insert herself into the traditional Survivor Series elimination match

For weeks, Sonya Deville has been antagonizing Smackdown's female babyfaces, especially Naomi. The most notable of which was when she faced the former champion together with Shayna Baszler in a handicap match.

This past week, she removed Aliyah from the blue brand's Survivor Series women's team without any explanation at all. This could be the perfect opportunity for her to insert herself into the match.

The move will further elevate Sonya as a heel authority figure and will provide a good storyline for months to come.
