WWE Survivor Series 2017 Match Predictions: Rise Of Red Team?

Brock Lesnar (Universal Champion) vs. AJ Styles (WWE Champion)
Thanks to AJ Styles pulling off a major upset right before Survivor Series, we get to see an exciting match for the very first time in history. Instead if the scheduled Brock Lesnar vs Jinder Mahal fiasco, the Phenomenal One has saved the day once again. I have to term his title win as an upset because until the very last moment it seemed creative was adamant to keep the title with Mahal. Until the three count I almost convinced myself to believe that Mahal would kick out and Styles would eventually be sacrificed.
However, as fate, Vince McMahon and WWE creative would have it, Styles would reclaim what was rightfully his. In addition, he has solidified the SmackDown main event scene as well as this match of Champions. Unless Lesnar screws things up by not committing himself fully into this match as he did against Ambrose, this match would simply be phenomenal.
When it comes to predicting this match though, there are many variables to consider. We still don’t know if any special guest referee would show up. John Cena’s name has been thrown in the mix for quite a while now. Cena has abundant history with both of these men. Throw in an irate Jinder Mahal, who has now lost the opportunity to win the respect of the WWE Universe and you have all the necessary agents of chaos. I want Styles to win, but history and creative backs Lesnar. Moreover, after last year’s embarrassing defeat against Goldberg, Lesnar might not lose at Survivor Series 2017 as well.
Prediction: Brock Lesnar defeats AJ Styles with Paul Heyman’s aid
