WWE Survivor Series 2019 early match card predictions
By Mark Justice
5 vs. 5 vs. 5 Women’s Survivor Series
Unlike the Tag Team Survivor Series Match, the Women’s Survivor Series Match won’t be too clustered. It should be noted that Team SmackDown has not won a Women’s Survivor Series Match since the brand split in 2016. This could be the year all of that changes.
First, in terms of the Raw Women’s Division, the following women will most likely be added to the Women’s Survivor Series Match: Charlotte Flair, Natalya, IIconics, and Liv Morgan. Sasha Banks, Nikki Cross, Carmella, Dana Brooke and Lacey Evans are likely to join Team SmackDown. While Team NXT could have Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Io Shirai, Tegan Nox, and Dakota Kai.
Based on these predictions, Team SmackDown seems to be the team most deserving of a victory. With Sasha Banks not yet obtaining a big win since returning to action and Lacey Evans and Nikki Cross needing to bounce back from key losses, SmackDown could be the most likely to prevail in the Women’s Survivor Series match.
Prediction: Team SmackDown [Women’s] (1-2-1)
Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley vs. NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler [Women’s Champion War]
Speaking of the women, the women’s champions from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT also have to go to war. If they all hold onto their championships until Survivor Series, this match should be a spectacle to walk.
Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch has held her championship since WrestleMania 35 when she dethroned Ronda Rousey to become Becky Two Belts. Since then, she has been retaining her championship against top contenders.
SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley has defended and retained her championship against the likes of Ember Moon, Charlotte Flair, and more recently, Nikki Cross. She has been a hot topic in recent weeks due to her methodical heel turn and new ‘dark’ gimmick. Those poor Bayley Buddies that Bayley slashed apart never got the appreciation they deserved. Although Bayley seems like the third wheel in this bout, her compadre, Sasha Banks, could always interfere in this triple threat match to assist her in victory. NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler has been a dominant champion herself.
Knowing that Becky Lynch defeated Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 35, she shouldn’t lose in a high stake match until Rousey returns. Winning here would be a great way to redeem herself from being absent at last year’s Survivor Series due to injury. When considering her history of booking, Bayley is clearly seen as the third wheel in this match and does not need as much protection as Baszler and Lynch. Henceforth, Becky would have to pin or submit Bayley to win this match.
Prediction: Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch (2-2-1)
