WWE Survivor Series 2019 Preview: Royal Rumble match possibly revealed, Top SmackDown star to betray 4-time World Champion

WWE Survivor Series is just a few hours away and we couldn't be more excited! This year's card is perhaps the most stacked one in the last three years and it's a no-brainer that the addition of NXT to the mix has only made it more exciting.

While it has resulted in a bit of a cluster and overload of invasions, this could be one of the sleeper shows of the year. While there hasn't been too much hype heading into the show, it looks like one of those shows that could end up being among the best PPVs of the year.

For one, the card is stacked from top to bottom and many new, fresh faces add to the hype. Moreover, WWE has emphasized on feuds within brands as well, so it's not just about the wars.

However, once again, interbrand supremacy will be the theme of the show and with NXT in the mix, here's what you need to look forward to tonight!

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#8 AJ Styles (RAW) vs Roderick Strong (NXT) vs Shinsuke Nakamura (SmackDown)

This could be the match that steals the show, so let's begin here! It's a battle of the "midcard" champions in WWE, with United States Champion AJ Styles facing NXT North American Champion Roderick Strong and Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura.

AJ Styles has been doing well with The OC while Strong has been outright dominant with the Undisputed Era. Shinsuke Nakamura hasn't had the same momentum but his alliance with Sami Zayn has certainly proved fruitful.

It's going to be a fast-paced, high-intensity match-up and you're not going to want to look away because if you've never seen Roderick Strong before, get ready to be impressed. If it were up to us, this would be the match to open the show. Who will win?

#7 Bray Wyatt (c) vs Daniel Bryan - Universal Championship

Will Bryan overcome the demons of this past?

This rivalry takes a whole new form after 5 and a half years. When Daniel Bryan last encountered Bray Wyatt, he was a part of The Wyatt Family and Bryan even joined them for a brief period before disbanding.

This time around, he faces a whole different monster - literally. The Fiend has continued to terrorize WWE and after finishing with Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan has been his first target on SmackDown.

Bryan, of course, hasn't backed down from the challenge, but as with others, he hasn't been able to find a way to get one over The Fiend. Add to the fact that his rivalry with The Miz has re-emerged, his mind may not be in the right place.

The big question is whether Bryan will be able to overcome the mind games that The Fiend plays and if his years of practice in the ring will be enough to put The Fiend away. If you were to place a bet on it, you'd probably say no and we would probably have to agree with you.

The Fiend is simply on another level now and it's hard to see Bryan being the one to stop him. This feud is expected to continue until Royal Rumble.

#6 The Viking Raiders (RAW) vs The Undisputed Era (NXT) vs The New Day (SmackDown)

Another match that, in our opinion, could open the show is the tag team Interbrand match. The RAW Tag Team Champions, The Viking Raiders, are set to take on NXT's most dominant tag team The Undisputed Era, and the most accomplished tag team in WWE history, The New Day.

There are many different reasons why this match-up is interesting. For one, we have the dominant Viking Raiders who have been wreaking havoc on the red brand; and second, there's the young, exciting and enigmatic tag team of Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly, both of whom are combat artists in the ring.

Don't discount The New Day, who have been known to overcome some incredible odds in their 5 years together. However, looking at their recent matches, we feel that the NXT Tag Team Champions can outwit both teams and narrowly walk out with a victory, further proving The Undisputed Era's dominance.

#5 Adam Cole (c) vs Pete Dunne - NXT Championship

Adam Cole has a huge advantage tonight - perhaps the biggest of them all. Pete Dunne had to go through a war, defeating both Damian Priest and Killian Dain to earn an NXT title shot. He's broken and bruised, but that's not something you'll hear him complain about.

Pete Dunne on a normal day is one of the toughest, most brutal and relentless in-ring performers that we've seen but Adam Cole is the fresher man and is far too skilled and smart to lose tonight. It's going to be a good match but one where Cole will most likely walk out victorious.

If you're not familiar with either Superstar, then you're going to be in for a surprise, given that their match gets the right time. Pete Dunne is the longest-reigning champion of the modern era in WWE, having held the WWE United Kingdom Championship for a whopping 685 days. To put that into perspective, that's only a month shy of two full years.

Not impressed enough? Watch tonight and find out what the two men are made of.

#4 Becky Lynch (RAW) vs Shayna Baszler (NXT) vs Bayley (SmackDown)

This is a match to get excited about (as with every match on the card, almost). The Man Becky Lynch first had a staredown with Shayna Baszler when being interviewed and it seemed as though the spotlight would be on them.

Bayley and her new attitude certainly wouldn't allow the spotlight to be off her and she's made sure to make an impact every chance that she's had. Her focus, too, has been on Shayna Baszler and that's even taken her to Full Sail University where she's attacked the NXT Women's Champion.

She had the last laugh on SmackDown as well and the odds aren't great for Baszler, who now holds the record for the longest combined period as NXT Women's Champion (beating Asuka in the process).

However, Lynch has been on a whole other level and we expect that to continue tonight as she beats both Bayley and Baszler. The NXT Women's Champion will be beaten up from last night's WarGames match where she was pinned by the up-and-coming Rhea Ripley.

#3 Brock Lesnar (c) vs Rey Mysterio - WWE Championship

Brock Lesnar faces the ultimate underdog

Brock Lesnar's rivalry with Rey Mysterio has been going on for a while now. It started with him assaulting Mysterio and his son Dominick, which prompted Mysterio to bring out Lesnar's old rival in the UFC - Cain Velasquez.

However, Velasquez's long-standing injuries proved to be fatal as he was defeated by Lesnar in Crown Jewel in a little over two minutes. Since then, Mysterio has taken it upon himself to challenge Lesnar and over the years, we've seen that the little man has no fear.

After Lesnar took out commentator Dio Maddin, Mysterio attacked him with a rod and got the better of him. This prompted Lesnar to go on a big hunt for Mysterio backstage where he was wreaking havoc.

Mysterio got his WWE Title shot and will not only look to take the title from Lesnar but will look for revenge as well. However, we don't think that he's going to get it. The size difference and power difference is far too much. This is a no disqualifcation match, but I feel Lesnar will beat Mysterio down so bad that the referee could call a stop to the contest.

#2 Team RAW vs Team NXT vs Team SmackDown - Women's Triple Threat traditional Survivor Series elimination match

Team RAW: Charlotte Flair (Captain), Asuka, Kairi Sane, Sarah Logan, and Natalya

Team NXT: Rhea Ripley (Captain), Toni Storm, Io Shirai, Bianca Belair, and Candice LeRae

Team SmackDown: Sasha Banks (Captain), Lacey Evans, Dana Brooke, Carmella, and Nikki Cross

To be perfectly honest, the only reason why team NXT wouldn't stand a chance in this is that the women went to war at WarGames. The only fresh body in that team is Toni Storm (who will be a huge player in this).

The NXT women's team is so much stronger than RAW and SmackDown that's it somewhat laughable. If it weren't for WarGames, we would even predict a clean sweep by the women of the yellow brand.

However, that won't be the case. But there's no denying that Team RAW and SmackDown are weaker than previous years.

RAW does have a bit of an advantage because of names like Charlotte Flair, Asuka and Kairi Sane and SmackDown is probably going to be the fastest team out. It's going to be a fun match but Rhea Ripley and her team should be taking this one.

#1 Team RAW vs Team NXT vs Team SmackDown - Men's Triple Threat traditional Survivor Series elimination match

Team RAW: Seth Rollins (Captain), Ricochet, Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens

Team NXT: TBA (Expected names - Tomasso Ciampa (Captain), Keith Lee, Matt Riddle, Dominik Dijakovic)

Team SmackDown: Roman Reigns (Captain), Braun Strowman, Baron Corbin, Shorty G, and Mustafa Ali

This is going to be an interesting one and would be best suited to main event the show. Team NXT hasn't been announced yet but above, we named the expected team for the brand. From the look of things, we're only going to find out the team once they come out, so we're open to some surprises!

It's going to be a great match, but we don't expect NXT to pick up this one. Unlike the women's match, it isn't lopsided in their favor. Team RAW certainly looks the strongest, but tensions between Ricochet and Randy Orton could be costly.

On SmackDown, it's clear that Baron Corbin is the biggest liability to the team and poses a risk of betraying his members out of pure selfishness. Expect Corbin to be responsible for Reigns' elimination and RAW to walk out victorious.
