WWE Survivor Series 2017: 5 Bold Predictions For Interbrand Showdown

2. Finn Balor gets eliminated because of Samoa Joe
Finn Balor and Samoa Joe worked like a well-oiled machine this week on Raw. The two teamed up to take on Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. They successfully defeated Balor’s former associates in the Bullet Club. The match was intended to act as a showcase for how well Balor and Joe can work as a team. But of course, anyone who have watched them in NXT would know that.
However, do not expect the same kind of smooth tags and teamwork to be on display at Survivor Series. It is evident from the brawl these two had two weeks ago that creative is moving towards a feud between them. The seeds for the same could be planted at Survivor Series. Normally, Braun Strowman is the one to turn on his team mates. But this time around, I predict him to be sole survivor that takes Team Raw to victory.
Instead, Samoa Joe would fill Strowman’s shoes and turn on his own team mates. He would have a fallout with Finn Balor midway through the match and could attack him. This can happen either after Joe gets eliminated or much before that. But either way, Joe would attack Balor resulting in the latter’s elimination. The following weeks will lead to multiple collisions and brawls between the two which will eventually be settled in the next PPV. From there, hopefully Balor moves on to Brock Lesnar.
