#2 Shock factor

"Shock the System?"

As much as I would like to root for NXT on Sunday, one can’t deny that the chances of their win over RAW and SmackDown are quite slim. Maybe Vince McMahon will not appreciate the idea of booking the likes of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins or Sasha Banks losing against a ‘developmental brand’.

But in the last few weeks, NXT has mainly focused on clarifying that the Red and the Blue brand are no longer the ‘main roster’. To support that claim, the NXT Superstars have been dominant ever since it was announced that they will be competing for brand supremacy.

The havoc created by NXT has forced several fans to speculate that the Black and Gold brand will end up losing at Survivor Series. Hence, a win for the said brand will take everyone by surprise and will defintely produce several talking points to keep the fans interested in the overall product.

Additionally, that’s not the only surprise that creative can pull off on Sunday. There are also a few Superstars who are yet to confirm their role in the upcoming PPV. For instance, we don’t know where Finn Balor stands and he might end up interfering in one of the matches.

Or we have Kevin Owens who may betray his brand to fetch the much-needed win for NXT. There’s a lot of chances to book shocking results if only the creatives look at the bigger picture.
