WWE Starrcade 2019: Full match card preview and predictions
By Mark Justice
WWE Starrcade 2019 will take place on December 1 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT live on the WWE Network. The following is a predictive preview of the televised matches and segments on this one-hour Network special.
In terms of televised matches for WWE Starrcade, the following had been officially announced: (1) Rusev (c) vs. Bobby Lashley in a Last Man Standing Match, and (2) Kabuki Warriors (c) vs. Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair vs. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley and Sasha Banks for the Women’s Tag Team Championships.
In terms of segments, Kevin Owens will host the Kevin Owens Show with WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair as his special guest. This segment will most likely lead to a match between Kevin Owens and AJ Styles, who are scheduled to wrestle at this event.
Although this network special seems contrived based on recent events, the lackadaisical build up towards WWE PPVs has been a major theme in 2019 and should not be a surprise to anyone. Nonetheless, this PPV is ostensibly a one-hour network special and will probably build up potential feuds on the road to WWE TLC on December 15.
With that being said, it’s time to plunge into a plenitude of surprises for December’s first PPV. Let’s now preview and predict the televised matches and segments for the WWE Starrcade 2019 card, starting with the Last Man Standing match between Rusev and Bobby Lashley.
