Survivor Series is one of the 'Big Four' PPVs of the year and this year's event will come to us from the Staples Center in California on November 18.

Over the years, Survivor Series has given the WWE Universe truly iconic moments such as the debut of The Undertaker in 1990, the Montreal Screwjob in 1997, the first ever Elimination Chamber match in 2002 and the WWE debut of Sting in 2014.

Survivor Series is one of the most anticipated events of the year and with a Raw vs Smackdown theme, here are 3 dream matches which wrestling fans all over the globe would love to see:


New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#3 AJ Styles/Samoa Joe vs Braun Strowman

Enter ca

AJ Styles is arguably the best wrestler WWE have right now at their disposal, who has had great matches with almost anyone he has faced. He is one of the most over superstars, whether he plays the role of a face or a heel.

He has been WWE champion for over 300 days, and as of now, he next defends his title against Samoa Joe at WWE Super Show-Down on October 6th in Melbourne, Australia.

On the other hand, Braun Strowman gets his next shot at the Universal Championship at the recently announced WWE Crown Jewel event on November 2nd in Saudi Arabia in a triple-threat match against Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns.

If AJ Styles retains his title against Samoa Joe in Australia (which in my view is very likely to happen) and if Braun Strowman wins the Universal Championship in Saudi Arabia (which he deserves), we could be set for a mouth-watering clash between 'The Phenomenal One' and 'The Monster Among Men' at Survivor Series.

They can tell a classic 'David vs Goliath' story in the ring and the crowd will be red-hot for this encounter.

On the other hand, if Samoa Joe wins the WWE championship in Australia, we can even witness a 'battle among monsters' at Survivor Series. Strowman and Joe have met twice previously, once in a triple-threat match on Raw (involving Roman Reigns) and in a fatal-four way match in the main event of Summerslam 2017, but they have never come face-to-face in a singles match.

If they are put up against each other in a high-stakes match such as the one to determine who is the best champion in WWE, they will have a brutal war in the ring and it will surely be a treat for the WWE fans worldwide.

However, the biggest reason why this match is unlikely to happen is both men are heels as of now, and we don't witness 'heel vs heel' contests often.

#2 Becky Lynch vs Ronda Rousey

Becky Lynch finally had her well-deserved moment when she beat Charlotte Flair at Hell in a Cell to become the Smackdown Women's champion.

I also loved the fact how WWE managed to kill two birds with one stone by giving Lynch her moment and keeping Charlotte Flair away from Ronda Rousey until their rumored match at WrestleMania 35.

Given how much WWE values Charlotte, a high-profile match involving her and Rousey deserves a grand stage such as WrestleMania.

With Rousey likely to be the Raw Women's champion come Survivor Series, it is quite likely we will get to see a match between Lynch and Rousey at the event.

With Lynch being one of the best workers in the entire Women's division, she can definitely carry Rousey to a great match given that Rousey is still comparatively new to WWE. Lynch vs Rousey is a dream match that can be one of the best matches on any given night.

#1 Seth Rollins vs Shinsuke Nakamura

A potential show stealer

Talk about a dream match! Two of the best wrestlers in the entire world, Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura, will get the crowd going on any day.

'The Kingslayer' vs 'The King of Strong Style' will be a match for the ages, if booked right. Seth Rollins has become the MVP of Monday Night Raw right from the time he put up a marathon 65-minute effort in a gauntlet match, and his spectacular matches for the Intercontinental Championship week after week have certainly made him arguably the most over Superstar on RAW.

Shinsuke Nakamura, on the other hand, hasn't quite had the same impact on the main roster as he was expected to after his successful run in NXT. His heel turn during his feud against AJ Styles hasn't brought him much success either and the US title has been somewhat devalued by his booking.

People know what an exceptional wrestler he is but he hasn't had many title defenses except a few against Jeff Hardy; a feud against Seth Rollins might just be what the doctor ordered for Nakamura's career and the US title.

With a great story fueled by Nakamura's heel antics, great in-ring action through Rollins' high-flying moves and Nakamura' strong style, this match can be a show stealer on any given night - if there is a proper build-up to the match and these two men are given enough time to show what they can do in the ring.
