There could be a few twists at WWE Survivor Series 2021

#4 Potential 'screwjob' in Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair at Survivor Series

While the build-up to Survivor Series 2021 hasn’t been the best, one match has undoubtedly been personal. Former best friends Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair are no longer on speaking terms. There were reports of WWE potentially planning a 'screwjob' for their match, associating yet another controversial moment with the pay-per-view.

Rumors started doing the rounds when the company extensively showed the montages of Montreal Screwjob earlier this month. It is something that isn’t often mentioned on television. Moreover, reports have claimed that the finish to Lynch vs. Flair has been highly debated in the weeks leading up to Survivor Series.

The writers need to avoid booking an underwhelming finish to one of the most believable feuds we have seen in a while.

The men’s five-on-five elimination match at Survivor Series will see top superstars represent RAW and SmackDown in the battle for brand supremacy.

Kevin Owens, Bobby Lashley, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and Austin Theory will represent the Red brand. On the other hand, Drew McIntyre, Jeff Hardy, Happy Corbin, Sheamus, and King Woods will fight for the Blue brand. But these aren’t the only people who will be present during this bout.

MVP will accompany the RAW team, while SmackDown will have Ridge Holland and Madcap Moss at ringside. The external factors could disrupt the balance inside the ring, and thus, we might see them barred from ringside at Survivor Series.

That said, it would be rather entertaining if we see the referee send them away mid-match. The match official sending superstars backstage always makes for an enjoyable spot.
