WWE Survivor Series 2021: 5 last-minute changes that can be made to the pay-per-view – Roman Reigns pulls off a surprise, big 'screwjob' on the cards? 

#2 Naomi forces herself into the Survivor Series team

WWE SmackDown women's team for Survivor Series include Shotzi, Toni Storm, Shayna Baszler, Natalya, and Sasha Banks. They will face RAW's Queen Zelina, Carmella, Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, and Liv Morgan. While the match looks excellent on paper, we might still see a last-minute change made to the booking right before the show.

Former women's champion Naomi is not a part of Team SmackDown. WWE official Sonya Deville has left no stone unturned in sabotaging her over the last few weeks, constantly abusing her power to weaken Naomi's credibility.

Hence, the latter might have enough motivation to attack a member of the Survivor Series team and insert herself into the five-on-five elimination match. If they don't win, Deville will have enough ammo to go after Naomi as she would blame her for the loss.

On the other hand, Naomi can take the credit if SmackDown ends up winning the Survivor Series match. This could also help her turn heel and eventually become a part of The Bloodline.

#1 The Rock makes a surprise return at WWE Survivor Series 2021

This year’s Survivor Series pay-per-view will also feature a 25-man dual-brand Battle Royal to mark the 25th anniversary of The Rock’s debut. This match has several big names, including AJ Styles and Sami Zayn, listed to compete inside the squared circle.

Given that the multi-man encounter is intended to honor The Rock, could we see him make a surprise appearance on the show?

He recently said that there might be another match left in him, and WWE Superstars have done a lot to pay their respects to one of the greatest performers. The Great One has been busy promoting his new movie on Netflix and could make a brief stop to elevate the second-oldest pay-per-view in WWE history.

While this scenario is plausible, one can’t deny that the company would have heavily promoted The Rock’s appearance at Survivor Series if it was in their plans. Thus, all hopes pertaining to this iconic return should indeed be kept in check.
