WWE's 2021 Survivor Series pay-per-view takes place on Sunday, November 21 and will be the 35th produced in the event's history.

The event is usually highlighted by five-on-five elimination matches to determine brand supremacy between RAW and SmackDown.

The company decided to announce the teams for this year's men's and women's via Twitter on November 6. It came as a surprise to many, as WWE has rarely mentioned the upcoming pay-per-views anywhere but on their weekly shows. However, the teams are now in place and are set to battle at the big event in Brooklyn, New York.

That being said, let's take a look at five WWE superstars who could betray their team at WWE Survivor Series 2021.


#5 Happy Corbin could betray his SmackDown team at Survivor Series

Happy Corbin has had quite the year in WWE. The reigning King, becoming bankrupt, to now being the happiest man in WWE. Looking back on Corbin's 2021, it has been a memorable tale. Will he now look to cap off the year by aiding his SmackDown warriors to victory, or will he take matters into his own hands?

The Mayor of Jackpot City has been announced on Team SmackDown, and will have his friend, a resident joker, Madcap Moss, by his side. The former United States champion hasn't made many friends on SmackDown this year. He may feel above the rest of his team, and could simply not care about the outcome of the match.

We saw on the November 5 episode of WWE SmackDown that when things got tough, Happy Corbin was willing to walk away. During his and Madcap Moss' tag team match with The Viking Raiders, the pair bolted backstage midway through the match, getting themselves counted out.

It makes you wonder why Happy Corbin was selected on the team in the first, as he's probably the most unreliable superstar on the team. It would not be surprising to see the rest of his teammates not approve of the former Lone Wolf's addition.

In fact, for the team and Corbin's sake, it is probably best that they find a way to replace him, because if anyone is likely to betray Team SmackDown at Survivor Series, then it would be him.

Unless there's something at stake for the "filthy rich" Kansas native personally, then we might likely see him stand at ringside listening to Madcap Moss' jokes during the Survivor Series match. Give this one a rethink Team SmackDown.

#4 Shotzi may betray her SmackDown team at Survivor Series

The Women's Survivor Series elimination match is on the horizon. On SmackDown, Shotzi has made an immediate impact since the 2021 WWE Draft rosters came firmly into place. She let the WWE Universe know that she meant business by attacking Sasha Banks, following a defeat to The Boss earlier this month.

Both Shotzi and Sasha Banks have been named on Team SmackDown at Survivor Series. This already smells like a recipe for disaster. The green-haired superstar has made it clear that she has her sights set on Sasha Banks. Shotzi could cause a lot of problems for the team, especially if she attacks Banks during the match.

If there's a betrayal on the horizon for the team, then look no further than Shotzi.


#3 Austin Theory could betray his RAW team at Survivor Series

Austin Theory has no right to really be on Team RAW in this year's Survivor Series. He's reluctantly found his place on the red brand team after some meddling from WWE official Adam Pearce.

Imagine if Theory was to walk away from his RAW team during the big match, or even cost his team the victory. It would no doubt be a bigger moment than him winning it for the brand, right? It would be a standout moment from the event and the spotlight would be on him for answers. A new star could be born.

#2 Jeff Hardy may betray his SmackDown team at Survivor Series

Jeff Hardy has found himself on Team SmackDown at Survivor Series after defeating Sami Zayn to earn his spot.

On SmackDown, Hardy doesn't really have a real storyline direction right now. He's appeared in a number of backstage segments and some matches, but nothing of major significance.

The Charismatic Enigma has been adored by the WWE Universe since his return at WrestleMania 33, and it may be time for his dark side to rise to the surface. It would definitely be a shocking moment, and give the former WWE Champion a new direction and something to finally sink his teeth into on the blue brand.


#1 Seth Rollins could betray his RAW team at Survivor Series

After the Survivor Series teams were announced, Seth Rollins declared that he was the team captain. This might not go down well for the rest of the team, as Rollins' behavior as of late hasn't seen him earn very many admirers.

Because of his recent behavior, especially in his feud with Edge, what's to say that Rollins can be trusted? I'm sure the rest of the team will be thinking the same thing. If anyone is likely to call his own shots and betray the RAW team, then Rollins might just be his own Savior.
