5 Last-Minute Predictions For WWE Survivor Series 2018

WWE Survivor Series 2018 will take place in the Staples Center in Los Angeles this Sunday. WWE will follow the traditional trend of the PPV that they have been doing since the brand split. It will be a Raw vs Smackdown show to determine which brand is superior. WWE originally booked some really good matches for the card. But this week, major changes were made to the PPV.

Becky Lynch got hurt during the RAW invasion segment, while Daniel Bryan shockingly dethroned AJ Styles as WWE Champion. Now Brock Lesnar will face Daniel Bryan and Charlotte Flair will replace Becky Lynch to fight Ronda Rousey.

Despite the changes that WWE made, the card is still pretty decent on paper. In this article, we will take a look at 5 last-minute predictions for Survivor Series 2018.

#5 AOP Dominate The Bar

The Authors Of Pain won their first main roster titles when they defeated Seth Rollins in a 2-on-1 handicap match. They will take on the Smackdown Live Tag Team champions, The Bar, at Survivor Series.

This may not be the match that many people care about, but WWE needs to make sure that they protect AOP in this case. They have just won the titles and have not defended it a significant match.

Tables, Ladders & Chairs could be the first PPV where they defend their titles. And it doesn't look like they will lose the titles this soon. So WWE must book them very strong and dominant for a couple of months at least if they want to give some credibility to the team.

AOP was very dominant on NXT and people really liked them as a heel tag team. WWE should do the same on the main roster. They should defeat The Bar at Survivor Series easily. They also might destroy The Big Show to prove their dominance.

#4 Drew McIntyre will be the Last Man Standing

Drew McIntyre will be a part of the Raw vs Smackdown Men's Survivor Series match. He will represent Team RAW and will team up with Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, Dolph Ziggler, & Bobby Lashley. Baron Corbin will be captaining the team. Team Smackdown will include the captain The Miz, Shane McMahon, Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy & Samoa Joe.

WWE has been pushing Drew McIntyre really strong recently, and it doesn't look like they should stop doing that. 'The Scottish Psychopath' has shown the WWE Universe that he is here for much bigger things and that he certainly has everything it takes to become a top guy.

I believe that RAW will win the Men's Elimination match and Drew McIntyre will be the last one standing. I think Braun Strowman will not repeat his feat from last year because he will be involved in something with Baron Corbin. So McIntyre could even end up having the most number of eliminations.

#3 Smackdown Live To Get More Victories Than Monday Night RAW

Last year's Survivor Series clearly showed that RAW was the A brand of WWE. Smackdown lost both Men's & Women's Traditional Survivor Series matches. Moreover, they only won two important matches on the whole show.

One was where Smackdown Live Women's Champion Charlotte defeated RAW Women's Champion Alexa Bliss, and the other was where The Usos defeated The Bar in the Tag Team Champions' battle.

Smackdown is going to move to FOX next year, and it is a very big deal for WWE. This is the perfect opportunity to show what blue brand is made up of and what it brings to the table. This insane TV deal might also be the reason for Smackdown Live being booked really well recently.

I believe Smackdown has to get more victories than Raw this Sunday, not only because of a TV deal, but also to prove the dominance of the blue brand. It has been too long that WWE has kept Smackdown in RAW's shadow but this Sunday might be the best time to change that.

#2 Dean Ambrose Interferes & Nakamura Defeats Seth Rollins

The Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins will take on the United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura at Survivor Series. This match might steal the show and could be the best wrestling wise on the entire card. But I think WWE has more to show through this match than just wrestling.

As we know, Dean Ambrose turned on Seth Rollins, and The Shield was broken on the same night when Roman Reigns announced his leukemia problem. Since then, Ambrose hasn't said much. But this week on Raw, he set his Shield vest on fire.

He told Rollins that he was feeling weak when he was a part of The Shield. He said it was a burden for him to always look out for his brothers.

We know that a Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose feud is going to happen. And it might officially start at Survivor Series. Dean Ambrose will possibly attack Rollins during the match and cost him the victory. 'The Architect' hasn't defended the IC Title for a long time & now it's time to start a big feud for that title.

#1 AJ Styles Attacks Daniel Bryan

One of the most shocking booking decisions was made by the WWE this week. Daniel Bryan defeated AJ Styles in a WWE Championship match and is now the new champion. As a result, he will now also face Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series.

A dream match that WWE was planning years back will now finally happen. Booked as "David versus Goliath", Daniel Bryan is surely the underdog in this match.

One interesting thing now is that Daniel Bryan has turned heel. So it's basically one heel champion against another. It's very unlikely that Daniel Bryan wins this match, but one thing that is likely is that AJ Styles attacks Daniel Bryan either during or after the match.

After all, Styles was hit by a low-blow by Bryan before he got pinned. Styles will not be happy about the way his immaculate title reign ended. And he hasn't responded after his loss on Tuesday. It could be that he comes out at Survivor Series and destroys Daniel Bryan.
