Survivor+Series+2016+Predictions

Survivor Series  will be the first cross brand pay-per-view since the brand split. It is one of WWE’s “big four” PPVS, which also includes SummerSlam, Wrestlemania, and Royal Rumble.

Survivor series will feature superstars from both SmackDown and Raw competing with one another.

The big stipulation that Survivor Series has going are the five person/team elimination tag matches. They will see five of the best men, women, and tag teams go head to head against each other.

The first of these matches will be against Raw and SmackDown’s top tag teams. SmackDown will be represented by American Alpha, Heath Slater and Ryhno, The Hype Bros, The Usos, and Breezango. While Raw will have the teams of Enzo and Cass, The New Day, The Club, Sheamus and Cesaro, and The Shining Stars in their corner. This is the weakest of the three elimination tag matches, but there is definitely room for some fine wrestling to be had. I believe team SmackDown will go over with some shenanigans by Heath and Ryhno.

The next match is the Cruiserweight championship match against the champ Brian Kendrick and Kalisto. The stipulation for the match is if Kalisto wins the whole cruiserweight division will be moved over to SmackDown. Now this match has huge implications, and I believe it will be Kalisto going over in this match. We will be able to see why in just a bit.

The second of the elimination tag matches is the one that will be featuring the teams of Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, Naomi, Carmella, and Nikki Bella for SmackDown and Sasha Banks, Bayley, Nia Jax, Charlotte, Alicia Fox going head to head. Womens wrestling is the best it has ever been. With the woman running the show over on Raw and Becky stealing it on SmackDown, this will be a great match. It will definitely be the best choice to have Becky pick up the win as the last one standing on team SmackDown.

The next match will be an Intercontinental Championship match against the champion Dolph Zigler and challenger Sami Zayn. This match has the stipulation that if Zayn wins the title will be moved over to Monday Night Raw. Now with this information let’s move back to the CruiserWeight match. With Kalisto winning and bringing the division over to the blue brand, the IC title will find its new home at Raw. This is great because it will give the cruiserweights will finally get there chance to shine as they will be a focal point of SmackDown with it being the only other singles title other than the world title. It will also give guys like The Miz and Dolph a shot in the main event.

The third and final five person elimination tag match will be against the men of not brands. Team Raw will consist of Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Braun Strowman, and Roman Reigns fighting against the team of AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, and Shane McMahon representing SmackDown. This match has high expectations, and It has the most talented superstars from both brands going head to head. It’s bound to be a great match, and it will be nice to see AJ rub shoulders with the best Raw has to offer, and see what Braun has to show being the monster of the team. Kevin and Chris are definitely going to be a part of some funny shenanigans. Shane is also a wild card, he knows how to make something important because he is a showman. I think it will be nice to see team Raw go over with Kevin Owens scoring the win for his team.

Now the main event of the show. It will see a rematch from Wrestlemania 20, Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg. It is well known that their last match was terrible, and it was a horrible send off to a legend like Goldberg. Now they have a chance to make up for it. Both of them seem really invested in the match and Goldberg still looks like the monster he did back in his prime. Despite this the best end for the match will be seeing Brock go over Goldberg continuing his monster run.

Survivor Series will has a great chance to be an amazing pay-per-view, but we will have to wait and see what WWE has planned.
