Sunday is the big day. Survivor Series is set to air on the WWE Network. It will be The Undertaker’s 25th anniversary and we’re also guaranteed to see a new WWE Champion. Not everyone is going to walk out a winner, but this is how we think it’s all going to go down.
Tyler Breeze vs Dolph Ziggler
Tyler Breeze has been a thorn in Dolph Ziggler’s side ever since he debuted on the main roster and Sunday Dolph will have a chance to get a little revenge. Unfortunately the odds seem to be stacked against Dolph as Breeze has Summer Rae by his side and she’s likely to help him cheat to win.
Tyler Breeze has been doing some great work on the main roster since his debut but he needs a win over a name like Dolph Ziggler to legitimize him. We’re going with Tyler Breeze for the win with an assist from Summer Rae. Then both Ziggler and Breeze will likely drift through the card with no direction and end up as a tag team by January, because WWE creative doesn’t think we remember stuff. Anyway…
Winner: Tyler Breeze
WWE Divas Championship Match
Charlotte vs Paige
Charlotte and Paige turned things up a notch with their contract signing on Raw. Since then it’s been covered ad nauseam how so many people feel the angle was controversial. Whether you agreed with how the contract signing played out or not, the fact of the matter is it got people talking.
Now there are eyes on Charlotte and Paige heading into Sunday and this should be a great showing for the WWE Divas. WWE used the angle on Raw to make Charlotte look like a sympathetic character, which is why we’re going with Charlotte for the win. Charlotte needs to cement her legacy as the WWE Divas Champion and a nice clean win over Paige will be her a lot of good.
Winner: Charlotte
The Undertaker and Kane vs Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt
If there was ever a match on the card that was worthy of being a traditional Survivor Series match, this is the one. This could have easily been 4 on 4 and adding 2 up and comers to The Undertaker and Kane’s team could have given 2 stars a much needed rub. But anyway, that’s a moot point because this is a 2 on 2 tag match.
In any case this should be a fun match. The Brothers of Destruction and The Wyatt Family have really delivered with some much needed theatricality over the past few weeks. This one will be physical and Braun Strowman is going to get his chance to shine with the big dogs. But it wouldn’t make any sense to have The Undertaker lose a match that’s pretty much the culmination of his 25th anniversary with the WWE. We’re going with the Brothers of Destruction for the feel good win.
Winners: The Undertaker and Kane
WWE Title Tournament Semi-Finals
Roman Reigns vs Alberto Del Rio
We all know how this one is going to go down. There’s no possible way that Roman Reigns isn’t making it to the finals.
Although this one is already a foregone conclusion, it could still be a sleeper match. Alberto Del Rio has been quite impressive since returning to the WWE and given the right amount of time these two could surprise some people. Still, we all know Roman’s hitting the Superman Punch, then the Spear and punching his ticket to the finals of the WWE Title tournament.
Winner: Roman Reigns
WWE Title Tournament Semi-Finals
Kevin Owens vs Dean Ambrose
This match is a little bit harder to predict than Roman Reigns vs Alberto Del Rio. The smart money is on Dean Ambrose making it to the finals, but you have to wonder if WWE will want to go the face vs face route with Roman vs Dean.
Kevin Owens has managed to build himself into a credible heel over the past year and it wouldn’t be shocking to see him go all the way with this one. Giving Owens the win would place Roman against a clear cut heel in the finals which would increase Roman’s chances of getting cheered by the crowd.
With all that being said, Roman Reigns vs Dean Ambrose is the clear money match that the fans want to see. Fans have been asking for a Roman vs Dean, face vs face, brother vs brother match for quite some time now and there will never be a better time to pull the trigger. We’re going with Dean Ambrose advancing to the finals.
Winner: Dean Ambrose
WWE Title Tournament Finals
Roman Reigns vs Dean Ambrose
This is it, the match many fans have been waiting for. Our prediction is that the WWE Title tournament will come down to this, brother vs brother. This match will likely start with a handshake or fist bump to solidify the fact that it’s about competition between friends and it’s not a grudge match.
There could however be a few twists and turns along the way. Everyone’s talking about one of these guys turning heel and joining The Authority. Wrestling legends such as Jim Ross, Tommy Dreamer and Steve Austin have been calling for a Roman Reigns heel turn, but confidence is low that WWE will go that route.
Will we see a heel turn on Sunday? It would be a fun way to get people talking. But we’re thinking that Roman will win this one clean. Despite the reaction from the fans, WWE is dead set on Roman being the next face of the company. They’ve held off on pulling the trigger on a WWE Championship run but they’ve continued to push Roman big time. Sooner or later that push has to amount to something and it’s likely that it will amount to a WWE Championship win on Sunday.
Winner and new WWE Champion: Roman Reigns
Those are our predictions. Which WWE stars do you think will walk away with a win at Survivor Series?
