We are merely days away from the battle for brand supremacy in WWE. Survivor Series 2021 is set to take place this coming Sunday, live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
WWE's RAW and SmackDown brands will go up against each other to reign supreme. Multiple champion vs. champion matches have been announced for Survivor Series and the card looks promising. Being one of the "Big 4" pay-per-views of the year, WWE could be planning some major twists to catch fans off guard.
Let's take a look at five bold predictions for WWE Survivor Series 2021:
#5 Seth Rollins helps Roman Reigns defeat Big E at WWE Survivor Series 2021
We could be in for a mini Shield reunion at WWE Survivor Series this Sunday. The main event will feature WWE Champion Big E going one-on-one against Universal Champion Roman Reigns. The company's biggest babyface will battle the biggest heel in what will surely be a blockbuster match.
As has been the case over the last year or so, it's highly unlikely that Roman Reigns will take the loss at Survivor Series. However, it wouldn't be fair to have Big E lose clean to the Tribal Chief either. Instead, we could see some outside interference from Seth Rollins to protect Big E even if he loses.
A couple of weeks ago, Rollins became the No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship. The build-up to his match with Big E has been on hold due to Survivor Series. This finish could lead to a heated feud between the two in the months to follow. Reigns and Rollins reuniting to take Big E down would be a nostalgic moment for fans, 9 years after the Shield made their emphatic debut at the same pay-per-view.
#4 Asuka returns as the surprise member of Team SmackDown at WWE Survivor Series
WWE Survivor Series 2021 will feature Team RAW vs. Team SmackDown in a 5-on-5 women's elimination match. While the red brand's team is set, the blue brand still has one spot to fill. Initially, Aliyah was in the match but was removed last week by Sonya Deville.
We could see a surprise return at Survivor Series this Sunday in the form of former Royal Rumble winner Asuka. The Empress of Tomorrow could join Team SmackDown as the fifth member. Asuka was one of the few undrafted superstars at last month's WWE Draft and could join the roster of SmackDown.
#3 Sonya Deville adds herself to Team SmackDown at WWE Survivor Series
Another interesting choice for the fifth member of Team SmackDown at Survivor Series would be Sonya Deville. As noted earlier, she was the one responsible for removing Aliyah from the team.
After losing to Mandy Rose at SummerSlam 2020, Deville returned to WWE earlier this year and has taken up the role of an on-screen official. A few weeks ago, she returned to the ring to take on Naomi. Deville defeated her after some major assistance from Shayna Baszler. With Baszler already on Team SmackDown, Deville adding herself as the fifth member could make things very interesting.
#2 AJ Styles and Omos split up at WWE Survivor Series
WWE Survivor Series 2021 will feature a tag team elimination match between teams from both RAW and SmackDown. One of the teams in this match will be former RAW Tag Team Champions, AJ Styles, and Omos.
Styles and Omos pairing was fun when it started, but it has run its course. While it's great for Omos to team up with someone like Styles, the latter needs to get back into the main event picture where he rightfully belongs. With Big E as WWE Champion, AJ Styles could be the perfect heel opponent for him to have a memorable feud with. All of that could start at WWE Survivor Series this Sunday, should Styles and Omos split up after losing the elimination match.
#1 The Rock shows up at WWE Survivor Series
WWE Survivor Series 2021 will be a monumental occasion as it will mark the 25th anniversary of The Rock's WWE debut. While reports suggest that The Brahma Bull won't be physically present at WWE Survivor Series 2021 due to other commitments, we might still see him appear virtually to address the fans.
If he does appear, we could definitely see him drop a tease about his rumored match against current Universal Champion and his cousin Roman Reigns. The Rock might not be in his prime inside the ring, but he still has what it takes to electrify the Barclays Center this Sunday.
