WWE Survivor Series 2017: 5 debuts we might see at the show

In a few days, yet another Big Four pay-per-view will be upon us. The final 'major' one this year, and indeed every year since 1987- Survivor Series!

Bear in mind that Survivor Series last year had a marquee match in Brock Lesnar against the returning Goldberg. This year's card seems far less stacked in comparison, and therefore, WWE may need to pull out the big guns to make this show one to remember.

One surefire way to do it is to have debuts at the show. NXT has a stacked roster of talent just waiting to be called up and thrust into the mix. What better platform for them to arrive and create an instant impression than Survivor Series? How cool would that be, if booked right?

Here are five debuts we can see happening at Survivor Series. Let us know in the comments below, what you think of our choices. In case you disagree, let us know.

#5 Hideo Itami

The Japanese Superstar can be a welcome addition to the Cruiserweight Division

Hideo Itami is a superstar who arrived in NXT, a really long time ago indeed. He was even part of the Andre The Giant Battle Royal, two years ago. His call-up should have happened already. Unfortunately, a string of injuries kept him on the shelf, and he remained in developmental.

How is it a debut if he debuted on the main roster already, you rightfully ask? Well, this will be his debut in the Cruiserweight Division.

It is clear at this juncture that the Cruiserweight Division will be built around Enzo Amore.

However, the art of professional wrestling demands competition between two worthy contenders, to tell a compelling story and keep the audience captivated for the entire duration.

Hideo Itami can really bolster the Cruiserweight Division and freshen up the ranks with his lightning quick strikes. If Enzo Amore brings the personality, Itami can bring the in-ring work.

Rumours aplenty have surfaced saying that Hideo Itami may be on his way to the main roster. If so, Survivor Series may be a great time to bring him out.

#4 SAnitY

These four can wreak havoc in the main roster

The Shield is arguably the most popular faction in WWE at the moment. However, after they face The New Day at Survivor Series, they will run out of opponents. SAnitY could be a great bunch for them to feud against, in the weeks that follow. This feud could extend for months.

Comprising the crazed Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe and Killian Dain (more on the fourth member later), this is an eclectic bunch of crazed and deranged individuals. They will be competing at NXT Takeover: WarGames the night before, and Survivor Series will be a great way to debut them on the main roster, soon after.

Of course, Nikki Cross can bolster the women's division, and how. She is a unique character in the company, and perhaps the 'crazy' role better than anyone in WWE history, and certainly far better than Dean Ambrose does.

Eric Young and Killian Dain certainly have the potential to also become breakaway stars, if they are booked right.

#3 Rockstar Spud

Rumours indicate that he may be on his way to WWE

The central problem in the Cruiserweight Division right now is that nobody can hang with Enzo Amore on the microphone. Rockstar Spud is an individual who can.

One of the most charismatic performers from the independent circuit, rumours have indicated that he's on his way to WWE, and will be a part of the Cruiserweight Division soon. You may remember him from Total Nonstop Deletion, where he lost a match to Matt Hardy's one-year-old son, King Maxel (I knew you'd come).

Comedy is second nature to Rockstar Spud and he can spice up the division with his antics. No better stage to debut him than Survivor Series!

It may also be a great talking point from the Kickoff show, considering the Cruiserweight match is scheduled to take place before the main show airs.

#2 Johnny Gargano

Will the next Daniel Bryan debut on the main roster?

WWE struck gold with Daniel Bryan but have unfortunately been unable to recreate the lovable babyface gimmick with anyone else. Sami Zayn has been faring far better since he turned heel and Bayley has not been able to connect with fans.

There is a man in NXT who could become the next Daniel Bryan if he were showcased in the right manner. This man is Johnny Gargano, affectionately known as Johnny Wrestling...an incredible worker and the definition of a pure white meat babyface. There is nobody that plays the lovable underdog better.

Gargano is a good promo and could have a brilliant future in the main roster. Whether he's booked as a Cruiserweight or a heavyweight, he could add significant value to either division.

#1 Shayna Baszler

Could she enter the fray as the fifth woman in the Survivor Series team?

There is a spot open in the SmackDown Live women's Survivor Series team. With Charlotte having won the SmackDown Live women's Championship this very week, Shayna Baszler could join the squad, at Survivor Series.

One of the finalists in the Mae Young Classic tournament, Baszler is an established MMA fighter and a member of the Four Horsewomen of MMA. She could bring new eyeballs to WWE and in turn, maybe usher in Ronda Rousey's imminent arrival to the company, as a professional wrestler.

We all know that Baszler absolutely loves to wrestle. She's got fairly decent chops as well in the ring and plays the part of a bully to perfection.

From a kayfabe perspective, it would make sense for Shane McMahon to bring in the big guns to even the odds against RAW at Survivor Series 2017.
