WWE Survivor Series 2016: Predictions

Survivor Series, WWE.com

It’s Raw vs SmackDown at this year’s WWE Survivor Series. Here are our predictions for the elimination matches and all the other action set to go down this Sunday.

To call this the most meaningful and interesting Survivor Series in years would be an understatement. The event became much more exciting during the original brand split when the elimination matches first began pitting brand against brand. It felt like legitimate competition between both Raw and SmackDown to determine who had the better roster. But as we all know, the brand split was ended in 2011, and from that point on the elimination matches were, well… not good.

They became an afterthought. It seemed as though WWE would build up the card for the show and then realize last minute that they should probably have an elimination match or two. You know, since that’s what the event is built around. Then suddenly we have a match involving Titus O’Neil, Stardust, the Ascension, and Bo Dallas. Yes, that actually happened on the pre-show last year.

But the brand split is back and it has actually brought back much of the same excitement the original one had. It’ll be blue vs red this Sunday night in almost every match. And the one that is not a SmackDown vs Raw affair is a match that has enough hype surrounding it that it doesn’t even matter. With all this in mind, here are our predictions for this year’s WWE Survivor Series.
