WWE Survivor Series 2021: Full match-card predictions

It's that time of the year again when WWE's two main roster brands battle for supremacy as Survivor Series 2021 is set to take place on November 21, 2021, live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Considered as one of the "big four" pay-per-views, Survivor Series has always had a special place in the heart of fans. Last year's edition of the show saw The Undertaker end his legendary career with his final farewell.

While not officially announced yet, this year's event will also be special as it will mark the 25th anniversary of The Rock's WWE/F debut back in 1996. Will the most electrifying man in all of sports entertainment show up at Barclays Center? We certainly hope he does.

Last year, it was Monday Night RAW who reigned supreme at Survivor Series with a 4-3 victory. We might just see the Blue brand get revenge this year. Let's take a look at the full match card predictions for Survivor Series 2021.

#7 Pre-Show: Dual Brand Battle Royal

Like last year, Survivor Series 2021 pre-show could feature a dual-brand battle royal between stars from RAW and SmackDown. This is a great opportunity to showcase the talents who won't get a chance to be in the main show.

WWE could use this opportunity to put someone like Jeff Hardy back into the mix of things before giving him one final main-event run, possibly even as his alter-ego, The Willow.

Prediction: Jeff Hardy wins (RAW 0 - 1 SmackDown)

#6 RAW Tag Team Champions RK-Bro vs. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos at Survivor Series

The tag team champions from both brands would battle it out at Survivor Series. Randy Orton and Riddle, RK-Bro, have done a great job in refreshing up the tag division of Monday Night RAW with their hilarious segments, thrilling matches, and amazing chemistry.

On the other hand, The Usos have once again reclaimed their thrown at the top of SmackDown's tag team division. Under the guidance of their Tribal Chief, Jimmy and Jey Uso would enter this "champions vs. champions" match as the favorites. The match between these two teams will surely be a must-watch.

Prediction: The Usos win (RAW 0 - 2 SmackDown)

#5 Team RAW vs. Team SmackDown in a five-on-five men's Survivor Series elimination match

Survivor Series is known for its traditional five-on-five tag team elimination matches, and fans can expect the same to continue this year. Five superstars each from RAW and SmackDown would team up to establish the supremacy of their brand over the other.

While there are many talented stars who could represent their brand in this match, our predictions for the men's Survivor Series 2021 elimination match teams are as follows:

Team RAW: Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, and Keith 'Bearcat' Lee

Team SmackDown: Drew McIntyre, King Woods, Kofi Kingston, Sami Zayn, and Sheamus

The recently concluded WWE Draft has seen many top stars move over to RAW from SmackDown. As a result, the Red brand does seem to have a better top-card roster as compared to its counterpart.

Last year, Team RAW completely dominated this match at Survivor Series, eliminating the entire SmackDown team without a single causality in theirs. That would surely not happen this time, but we still expect them to reign supreme in this match after a neck-to-neck fight. Someone like Lee or Balor could be a great choice to become the sole survivor.

Prediction: Team RAW wins (RAW 1 - 2 SmackDown)

#4 RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch vs. SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair at Survivor Series

One of the most interesting matches that we are likely going to see at Survivor Series 2021 is that between the two top women's titleholders. RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch vs. SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair would be a must-watch for two reasons - their amazing in-ring chemistry, and all the recent controversy and backstage rumors.

It is not wrong to say that Flair and Lynch have been two of the biggest pillars of WWE's women's roster over the last few years. As stated previously, they have great in-ring chemistry and their bout will deliver. As for the winner, The Man is our prediction.

Prediction: Becky Lynch wins (RAW 2 - 2 SmackDown)

#3 United States Champion Damian Priest (RAW) vs. Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura (SmackDown) at Survivor Series

The next champion vs. champion match at Survivor Series 2021 will be between the two mid-card title holders. Unless there's a last-minute title change in the next three weeks, we would see United States Champion Damian Priest go one-on-one against Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura.

Truth be told, neither of their title runs are going very strongly as of now. The two could however show their worth with an amazing back-and-forth match at the pay-per-view, which would also be their first-ever singles match against each other. Our pick in this match would be Priest.

Prediction: Damian Priest wins (RAW 3 - 2 SmackDown)

#2 Team RAW vs. Team SmackDown in a five-on-five women's Survivor Series elimination match

The second traditional Survivor Series five-on-five tag team match will feature the women's teams from RAW and SmackDown battling each other. With multiple releases earlier this year, the women's division on both brands has had a negative impact.

However, WWE still has enough talent to showcase and put up a great match. Our predictions for the Survivor Series women's teams for RAW and SmackDown are as follows:

Team RAW: Bianca Belair, Queen Zelina, Nikki A.S.H., Rhea Ripley, and Carmella

Team SmackDown: Sasha Banks, Toni Storm, Shayna Baszler, Xia Li, and Naomi

The recently concluded Queen of the Ring tournament faced massive criticism from fans for not giving enough time to the women to put up a proper match. WWE should definitely take note of that and let this Survivor Series bout be long, giving all the competitors a platform to showcase why they are special.

The company could use this match to elevate someone like Storm, who is already a fan-favorite, to the main event scene on the Blue brand.

Prediction: Team SmackDown wins (RAW 3 - 3 SmackDown)

#1 WWE Champion Big E (RAW) vs. Universal Champion Roman Reigns (SmackDown) at Survivor Series

The main event of Survivor Series 2021 would definitely see the Universal Champion go up against the WWE Champion. While the first one would surely be Roman Reigns, there is no confirmation yet on who will enter Survivor Series as the WWE Champion. Would Big E be able to hold on to his title or will Seth Rollins defeat him to set up a clash against his former Shield brother?

While the latter might sound like a mouth-watering prospect, it would be unfair to take the title off Big E so soon. He deserves a long reign as the world champion. Keeping that in mind, we assume he will be the WWE Champion heading into Survivor Series and face Reigns in a one-on-one match.

In many ways, this would be WWE's biggest current heel going up against their biggest current babyface and has all the ingredients to be a blockbuster match. However, as things stand, Roman Reigns is definitely the winner to pick up the victory and help SmackDown win overall.

Prediction: Roman Reigns wins (RAW 3 - 4 SmackDown)

WWE could also pull off a massive surprise following this match by letting The Rock come out and confront The Tribal Chief. As mentioned previously, Survivor Series 2021 will be his 25th anniversary in the company and the fans would go berserk to hear "Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?"

A confrontation between The Brahma Bull and Reigns would be a perfect way to end the pay-per-view, possibly starting the build to their long-awaited feud and match.
