WWE Survivor Series 2019: Full match card predictions before Extreme Rules

Men’s 5-on-5 Survivor Series Elimination Match: Team Raw (Baron Corbin, Rey Mysterio, Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman, and Bobby Lashley) vs. Team SmackDown (Roman Reigns, Finn Balor, Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, Andrade)

Roman Reigns is the biggest acquisition in the history of SmackDown Live, so it’s only fitting that he captains a star-studded team in to WWE Survivor Series 2019 agains one of his old rivals in Baron Corbin.

Honestly, the Raw side is no match for SmackDown, even with living legends Rey Mysterio, Samoa Joe, and Bobby Lashley joining forces with The Monster Among Men. Corbin is just way too atrocious of a leader to ever grab a win as a team captain, and Reigns will pick him apart in the most satisfying of ways. Seriously, there are few things in wrestling that give me as much joy as watching Reigns absolutely embarrass Corbin. It’s hilarious.

As for SmackDown, there are still a lot of egos that could potentially clash. Whereas Corbin is liable to blow up at anyone, SmackDown’s potential in-fighting is far more layered. Andrade, Randy Orton, and Finn Balor cold make for a dream Triple Threat match, which means that there’s bound to be some sort of a clash there.

But babyface Owens and Reigns are here to save the day. Plus, no matter how insane Orton is (I’m guessing he’ll turn on Balor at some point during the match), Reigns will be the one to pull it through. The Big Dog is the most obvious sole survivor if I ever saw one.

Prediction: SmackDown wins to cement the FOX move, Reigns is the sole survivor
