After a wild 48 hours on Raw and SmackDown, the card for WWE Survivor Series 2018 is (almost) finally set. Which matches are primed to steal the show, and which will be an exercise in futility?

To put things bluntly, the last episodes of Raw and SmackDown Live before WWE Survivor Series 2018 were chaotic. From the interbrand brawl between women’s divisions on Monday, to Becky Lynch getting her face broken, to Daniel Bryan embracing the dark side and becoming WWE Champion, the Survivor Series card was a victim of the insanity.

But the fluid nature of the pay per view’s booking has still left the WWE Universe with a full card featuring eight matches. There’s four Champion vs. Champion bouts (kinda), three traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Matches, and a Cruiserweight Championship clash. So while some of the matches may not be what we expected on Monday morning, there’s still quite a bit of quality mixed throughout the event.

With all that said, which matches are the most must-see? (Sorry to steal your catchphrase, Miz, but it had to be done.) Even if every match on the card delivers, there’s bound to be some disparity in just how good every contest is. While, say, Rollins and Nakamura may deliver a classic, there’s a chance that at least one of the Survivor Series matches will be an overbooked disaster.

So without further ado, here’s our pre-WWE Survivor Series 2018 Match Rankings based on expected quality. We’ll start with the one most likely to be a disaster, and move up until we get to the anticipated Match of the Night. And the Kickoff Show Match is fair game, too. Let’s get this train rolling…
