WWE Survivor Series 2019 Predictions: Shayna Baszler is your queen
WWE Survivor Series 2019 will take place on November 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 duel match card predictions for a PPV well known for brand supremacy.
Monday Night Raw. Due to its longevity and plethora of main event caliber talent for almost thirty years, this brand has been well known as the ‘flagship show.’ With a 4-3 victory against SmackDown in Survivor Series 2017 and a clean sweep 6-0 victory against SmackDown in Survivor Series 2018, expect this brand to try their best to maintain their stature as the number one brand in the WWE.
SmackDown. Due to being overlooked for two decades, this brand has been continuously referred to as the ‘B-show.’ Needless to say, this brand has a chip on their shoulder, and that chip must be very salty from the shellacking it took from Raw at last year’s Survivor Series. With the new Fox deal in business, expect this brand to utilize that momentum to redeem themselves, acquiesce the bragging rights they so desperately need, and prove why the ‘B’ in ‘B-show’ stands for best.
NXT. Due to its in-depth storytelling and outstanding in-ring performances, this brand promotes itself as the ‘No B.S. show.’ 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 ‘rookie brand’ that looks forward to taking names, making statements, and grasping those imaginary brass rings. This exposure should also help with their ratings competition against AEW on Wednesday Nights.
Nonetheless, four star-studded matches have been announced thus far: (1) Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Rey Mysterio for the WWE Championship, (2) United States Champion AJ Styles vs. Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura vs. NXT North American Champion Roderick Strong, (3) Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley vs. NXT Women’s Champion Shaya Bayzler, and (4) Raw Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders vs. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day vs. NXT Tag Team Champions The Undisputed Era. The men’s and women’s 5-on-5-on-5 Survivor Series matches are also scheduled to happen at this event.
With that being said, it’s time to go to war and plunge into a slur of surprises for November’s PPV with my illustrious colleague, Kevin Parvizi. Let’s now predict the WWE Survivor Series 2019 card, starting with the Tag Team Champions match.
