5 bold predictions for Survivor Series 2017

#2 Samoa Joe eliminates John Cena

Samoa Joe confronted John Cena in August

Despite losing in back-to-back PPV main events, Samoa Joe probably had more buzz about him coming out of SummerSlam than almost anybody else involved on the show.

The former NXT champion looked impressive all summer-long in his rivalry with Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns, and he was reportedly set to enter into a feud after SummerSlam with none other than John Cena.

However, an injury ended the rivalry before it began, and Joe spent the next couple of months on the sidelines while Cena and Reigns battled it out – on the mic and in the ring – before settling their differences in a blockbuster match at No Mercy.

Now that Joe and Cena are on opposing sides in the 5-on-5 men’s elimination match at Survivor Series, it represents the perfect opportunity for “The Samoan Submission Machine” to score the first fall in a possible rivalry that can be revisited in the months to come.
