Survivor Series is a PPV that the WWE Universe looks forward to every year. Survivor Series has witnessed some of the best matches in the glorious history of the WWE. Thus, Survivor Series has rightly earned its place alongside Royal Rumble, Summerslam, and WrestleMania as one of the mega events of the year. Survivor Series is a must-see spectacle every year and hopefully, the 2017 edition will not prove to be an exception.
The current match line up is decent at best and nothing to boast about. But one match can most certainly salvage the show. And it’s the men's team Raw Vs team SmackDown traditional Survivor Series match. This match will sport some of the biggest WWE superstars like Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe, Randy Orton, Bobby Roode, John Cena, Shinsuke Nakamura and Finn Balor. Thus, it won't be surprising by any means if this match ends up stealing the show.
But just like the uncertain and exciting road to Survivor Series, this epic bout is expected to be a roller coaster ride as well. One of the surprises and 'Holy Shit' moments can be interference by one or more of these following wrestlers to exact revenge and settle the scores with their rivals who are part of this larger than life match.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#1 Kane
The "Big Red Monster" has targeted Braun Strowman ever since his return to the WWE. Both these gigantic monsters were on the same team at the recently concluded TLC PPV, but in a completely unexpected move, Kane ended up stabbing Braun Stroman in the back. Everybody expected Braun Strowman to return with vengeance on his mind, but the WWE had other plans. Braun Strowman is now part of team red for Survivor Series, and the rumoured match between the goliaths seems to have been shelved for the moment.
The monsters are still expected to collide inside the ring soon to settle their score. And Survivor Series might witness further development in their storyline. It won’t be surprising if Kane interferes in the match and helps team blue to eliminate the "Monster among Men". It should lead to a brutal battle between the two in which Braun Strowman is expected to emerge as the winner.
#2 Kevin Owens
Kenin Owens had an epic encounter with Shane McMahon at Hell in a cell. Their brutal match will linger in the memory of the WWE fans for a long time to come. But their rivalry is far from over. Kevin Owens lost his match to Shinsuke Nakamura and failed to qualify for Survivor Series. And naturally, he blames Shane for his loss.
Kevin Owens most certainly has revenge on his mind. And Survivor Series looks like the perfect opportunity for him to help team Raw prevail in the battle for brand supremacy. Kevin Owens delivering an earth-shattering pop-up powerbomb to Shane might be how the commissioner of Smackdown gets eliminated, setting up another brutal encounter between these two stupendous superstars in the process.
#3 Sami Zayn
Nobody saw Sami Zayn’s heel turn coming. Just like his real-life friend and storyline frenemy, Kevin Owens, Sami also blames Shane McMahon for his career spiralling out of control. Sami failed to qualify for Survivor Series as well when he lost to Randy Orton on SmackDown. Thus, it is safe to assume that Sami will walk the ramp at Survivor Series along with KO to attack the members of team blue.
Their interference at Survivor Series is the most predictable but will be amazing nonetheless. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn maybe the trick that Kurt Angle has up his sleeve in order to retain his job. KO and Sami might prove to be the wild cards that tilt the odds in Team Raw's favour.
Sami Zayn and KO still have a pivotal role to play in Survivor Series. But hopefully, both Sami and Kevin Owens will be part of matches on PPVs going forward. They deserve to be the numero uno guys in the WWE, and the fans deserve to see them in action as well. Afterall, wrestling is what these two do best.
#4 Bray Wyatt
Bray Wyatt introduced Sister Abigail as his alter ego to the entire world. But fortunately or unfortunately, he was diagnosed with an illness which sidelined him from in-ring competition. Bray was scheduled to lock horns against Finn Balor at TLC, but the match obviously never took place. However, Bray might still have a storyline grudge against the demon king.
And thus, Survivor Series might be a great opportunity for Bray to do what he does best. That is, interfere with a match and cost his nemesis the bout. But let’s hope that history does not repeat itself at Survivor Series, or any other PPV in the foreseeable future. WWE fans have had enough of Bray's silly gimmick for one lifetime.
#5 Triple H
Triple H has returned to in-ring action at WWE's live shows. But he might make his highly anticipated and much-needed return to WWE television at Survivor Series. Triple H is a bonafide future Hall of Famer and his presence will add the much-needed aura to Survivor Series.
There are two ways in which Triple H can impact the outcome of this match. Stephanie McMahon already made her presence felt on Raw when she threatened to fire Kurt Angle as the general manager if the red brand did not prevail over Smackdown at Survivor Series. Thus, Triple H might appear at Survivor Series to cost Kurt Angle the match and in turn, regain control of Raw. Hunter attacking the Olympic hero might be how the WWE plans to book their rumoured match for WrestleMania.
Stephanie also made it crystal clear how much she hates and loathes her brother Shane O'Mac. So Triple H might attack his brother in law as well and start an epic feud with him. There is real-life tension between Triple H and Shane O' Mac, and that's well known, so it would make for a great WrestleMania feud. Either way, Triple H's return to the WWE TV will be welcomed with open arms by one and all.
