We're less than a week away from the last big four PPV of the year, Survivor Series. It's the time of the year where different brands of the company battle for supremacy. The concept of this PPV has excited fans throughout the years, and it may do the same this year. The addition of NXT into the mix has created some intrigue over the last weeks.
At the PPV, there are three triple threat matches between different champions of each brand. Besides that, there are two five on five on five elimination matches as well. Overall, the match-card looks stacked and may end up as one of the best shows of the year.
However, for that to happen, WWE must be spot-on with their booking. Some booking decisions may pull down the quality of the show and must be avoided. In this article, we will look at four such things that shouldn't happen at Survivor Series 2019 but probably will happen.
#4. Seth Rollins is the sole survivor
Seth Rollins, the captain of RAW's men's team at Survivor Series 2019, will have an arduous task at hand at the PPV. He's gone through a lot in the last two months due to his feud with The Fiend Bray Wyatt, which has harmed him physically and mentally. Besides that, HHH has been offering him a spot on NXT's team and playing mind games with him.
All this suggests that Rollins is not at 100% heading into the PPV. He has been dealing with conflict in various forms and has become more relatable to the fans. So, the ideal booking option would be to get a good showing from him before being eliminated. Instead, we may see him go through everyone else in the match.
He may end up with the most eliminations and stand tall as the sole survivor of the match. WWE may believe that Rollins will get cheered if that happens, but judging by fan response, it's safe to say that it's not something fans would like.
#3. Brock Lesnar squashes Rey Mysterio
Brock Lesnar will defend the WWE Championship against perennial underdog Rey Mysterio at the PPV. This match came about as a result of Lesnar constantly attacking Rey and his son, Dominick. As a back-up, Rey brought Cain Velasquez to WWE, but the former MMA star got squashed at Crown Jewel 2019.
Therefore, Rey took things into his own hands and attacked Lesnar with a pipe last week on RAW. Subsequently, a match between the two men was made official for the PPV. Some fans think that Rey will shock the world by defeating Lesnar, but the chances are slim to none.
Come Survivor Series we may see Lesnar squash Rey in a matter of minutes and retain his WWE Championship. It wouldn't be the best decision as it doesn't add anything to this story. If Rey puts on a competitive match before losing, then that would make much more sense.
#2. NXT becomes a major loser
Traditionally, Survivor Series has been about the battle between RAW and SmackDown, but this year, WWE announced the addition of NXT to spice it up. Due to that, we've seen several invasions over the last few weeks on all the three brands. This makes things interesting as it opens up a wide range of outcomes and scenarios that could happen.
But maybe fans are in denial about what will go down at the PPV. NXT has been pretty dominant lately but could end up having a poor showing. The fact that they have the WarGames PPV on the night before could be used to justify their loss.
However, that shouldn't be the case. It may leave a bad image of the brand in the eyes of the casual fans, which won't help in any way. An ideal scenario would be if NXT either won the war or comes close to winning.
#1. Bayley becomes a sideshow
Bayley, the SmackDown Women's Champion, will take on Becky Lynch and Shayna Baszler in a battle for brand supremacy at Survivor Series 2019. Having turned heel recently, she re-invigorated her character and found a new ground on SmackDown. But, fans have had their doubts regarding her chances of winning the triple threat at the PPV.
Let's take a look at her opposition. First, Becky Lynch has been the most popular female wrestler in WWE and probably the whole world over the last year. Second, Shayna Baszler is the most dominant women's champion in NXT history. Under these circumstances, it's hard to see Bayley get the win.
WWE might surprise us by having Lynch and Baszler take each other out, which would allow Bayley to pick up the scraps. However, it's very unlikely. Bayley might end up getting overshadowed by the other two women and also take the pin or tap out at the end.
