Predicting the winners and losers of this Sunday’s WWE Survivor Series 2017 pay per view.
When Kurt Angle took to the microphone on the October 23rd episode of RAW and announced that this years Survivor Series would involve a series of inter-promotional matches, most WWE fans realized that this was par for the course. Ever since the first years of the brand splits, the majority of Survivor Series events featured these types of matches and honestly, it’s a little repetitive. All the programs that had been building throughout the year all come to a screeching halt so the two brands can go head to head without too much build up. Meh.
Well, the repetitive nature of the show took a drastic turn when the blue brand roster showed up that night at RAW and savagely beat down it’s counterparts. The red brand returned the favor on the “go home” Smackdown last Tuesday and suddenly this show has a very different temperature than past years.
So as all the matches for Survivor Series began to iron out, it’s clear that Sunday night will be one of the most stacked cards in a very long time. Between an elimination style match that will include eight former WWE/NXT champions, a women’s match between two of the most prolific superstars over the past few years, and a dream match between both brands’ world champions, Survivor Series has the potential to be the best show of the year.
Predicting a card like this is not easy because after Sunday most of the competitors will go back their brand and pick up where they left off so there aren’t many future ramifications. But let’s give it a shot. Ahead are the predictions for Sunday’s Survivor Series.
