WWE Survivor Series 2019 early match card predictions
By Mark Justice
WWE Survivor Series 2019 will take place on Nov. 24 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT live on the WWE Network with the kickoff show beginning at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT. Here are some early match card predictions for a PPV well known for brand supremacy.
WWE NXT, with its strong attraction towards hardcore wrestling fans, it is a brand with nothing to lose and everything to gain for their official debut at this year’s Survivor Series. The tables have now turned because Raw and SmackDown must not only focus on each other, but must also focus on a third brand that looks forward to taking names, making statements, and grasping those imaginary brass rings. This publicity should also help with their ratings competition against AEW on Wednesday Nights.
Based on past Survivor Series PPVs, it’s safe to say that there will be elimination style matches for the tag team division, the women’s division and the men’s divisions. It’s likely there will also be four champion vs. champion vs. champion matches from all three shows. Since three brands are now involved in this year’s PPV, there must still be some skepticism about these multi-Superstar matches occurring.
Nonetheless, three star studded matches have been announced thus far: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Rey Mysterio for the WWE Championship, Raw Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders vs. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Revival vs. NXT Tag Team Champions The Undisputed Era, and Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley vs. NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler.
With that being said, it’s time to go to war and plunge into a slur of surprises for November’s PPV. Let’s now predict the Survivor Series 2019 card, starting with the Tag Team Survivor Series match.
Raw Tag Teams vs. SmackDown Tag Teams vs. NXT Tag Teams: 5 vs. 5 vs. 5 Tag Team Survivor Series]
Did the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match arrive two months early? Although 30 Superstars participating in the same ring at the same time for a massive Tag Team Survivor Series match sounds like an unpleasant experience, the tag teams need some air time and this is probably the only plausible way to get them into action.
First, in terms of the Raw Tag Team Division, the following tag teams will most likely be added to the Tag Team Survivor Series Match: The O.C., Street Profits, Authors of Pain, Hawkins and Ryder, and The Usos.
Usos are currently on SmackDown’s roster, but with only four active tag teams on Raw, a returning tag team may be necessary, and the only tag team that comes to mind is this one.
Secondly, in terms of the SmackDown Tag Team Division, New Day, Ziggler and Roode, Heavy Machinery, The B-Team, and Lucha House Party will likely join.
Finally, in terms of the NXT Tag Team Division, most likely teams will be Breezango, Forgotten Sons, Burch and Lorcan, Killian Dain and Cameron Grimes (given their common enemies on NXT, they’ll most likely team up as a result), and Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate.
Based on these predictions, Team Raw seems to be the strongest team going into this bout. With AOP being booked as undefeatable and Usos returning to action, it looks like Raw could hold the advantage in attaining an early yet claustrophobic victory, if this match were to start the show.
Prediction: Team Raw [Tag Teams] (1-0-0)
