5 things that could happen at this year's Survivor Series

This is going to be fun
This is going to be fun

Well Well...another pay per view already. WWE really is in a mood for overkill and cramping up these many events in such a tight schedule has made it very confusing for the viewer even to sometimes even catch a breath and look around to realize what the hell has been going on.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

Viewers have not even recovered from the previous show and already the next one is upon us.

As a result, in terms of storyline, we don't really have much. Heck, there has been chopping and changing happening even in the matches. So much has happened in the last two weeks that many are not even sure what the lineup is.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

It was supposed to be AJ Styles vs Brock Lesnar but all of a sudden Styles lost the title out of nowhere and now we don't have that bout and in its place, we have Daniel Bryan vs Brock Lesnar. An interesting matchup for sure but did you really see this coming?

It was supposed to two badass women going against each other in Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey but hey, Nia Jax punched the daylights out of Lynch's face and now its Charlotte Flair who is replacing her.

And what's the icing on the cake? Charlotte was the member of team SmackDown but now she's out so even there we don't know what's going on.

There's a match between the tag teams of raw versus the tag teams of smackdown and by the looks of it, no one cares on either side.

There's a match between Team Raw (Men) vs Team Smackdown and even for that one, it's confusing to see what's going on.

The problem with the lack of time is that no feud has really developed and no storyline has really evolved. All we have is a circus and not many have much idea what's happening.

What this does, though, is making it fun to make predictions for such an event because come what may, WWE would always find a path to do the things WWE way.


#1 Dean Ambrose costing Seth Rollins the Win

A match with next to zero storyline
A match with next to zero storyline

The number of confrontations between Seth and Nakamura? Zero. The number of times both have talked about the fight? Zero again.

Seth Rollins is embroiled in a very intense feud with Dean Ambrose right while Nakamura on the other hand neither has an opponent nor a feud.

So even though when we have Seth Rollins as the Intercontinental Champion fighting against Nakamura, the US Champion there is more focus on the feud between Ambrose and Rollins.

Guess what, Ambrose is free in Survivor series. Has no match, nothing. You can bet your bottom dollar that Ambrose is going to interfere in this match.

Most likely Rollins would be about to end the match with his finisher and at that time we'll have Ambrose interfering and helping Nakamura with the win.

It would make the feud even more edgy between the two Shield members.

#2 Team Raw(Men) winning their Survivor series match

Will Baron Corbin get these hands?
Will Baron Corbin get these hands?

What's slightly funny about this match-up is to see how Braun Strowman was used as a pawn last year to win the match by Triple H which angered him. Ironically this year again Strowman got pawned into this match by Triple H's wife Stephanie Mcmahon.

The match has featured a lot of friction inside both teams(and hardly any between them). Strowman, Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler are again back together and have apparently forgotten they fought and split up. While Smackdown has "The Best in the World" Shane McMahon.

In any case, it's highly unlikely to see either Stroman or McIntyre getting pinned in this match. And what that usually means is we're going to see Team Raw win this one.

By the looks of it, there could be some infighting between Finn Balor and McIntyre at some point but you expect the Scottish Terminator to either Finish the match or survive till the end.

#3 Team Smackdown(women) winning their Survivor series match

It's Heels VS Face in this one
It's Heels VS Face in this one

Well, at least this match had some kind of build up. The Smackdown women invasion of Raw was an amazing sight to see as it showed how much the women have upped their game.

This is basically a Heels vs Face match(Natalya would be confused how she figures in all of this). The Smackdown women have had an upper hand in the limited buildup of the match but they were struck a big blow when Charlotte Flair was bumped up to face Ronda Rousey.

The fifth member of the team is still not known and a lot could depend on that Superstar. Still looking at the lineups and since Team Raw would win the Men's survivor series match then to even things out it does seem the Smackdown Women's team would take the honors in this one.

#4 Ronda Rousey Beating Charlotte Flair

A match made in the last moment

Yeah, this was going to happen at Wrestlemania right? Thanks to Nia Jax's punch and Becky Lynch's broken face, Charlotte gets to represent smackdown against Ronda.

Should it be tough to pick who is going to win this one? Charlotte was going through a storyline where she needed to find herself after successive losses to Becky Lynch and now all of a sudden she's shoved into the limelight where she faces the Top Dog of Women's division.

Rousey on her part has been on a rampage and has ounces and ounces of momentum going for her. The match could get disrupted by Nia Jax but after her shenanigans at Raw, it looks a bit unlikely that WWE will involve her so soon in a high stakes encounter.

A Rousey win looks highly likely in this one. Charlotte could carry on the storyline of trying to rediscover herself after the loss again.

#5 Brock Lesnar Vs Daniel Bryan ends in a No Contest

A dream match set up on such a short notice

This was a dream match and it was supposed to have the biggest of hypes. But what we have here is a match made up where the viewers are still recovering from the shock of AJ Styles' loss.

Here's the thing, neither of the stars can afford a loss right now. Brock Lesnar has an ongoing feud with Braun Strowman, while Bryan has AJ Styles seething after the manner in which he won the championship.

Chances are very high that of either Brawn Strowman or AJ Styles interfering in the match and either causing a disqualification or a win to the respective wrestlers.

From the storyline, it does look highly likely that AJ Styles will get involved in the match one way or the other. With his well-orchestrated temper issues, we could see him attacking Bryan and causing a No Contest
