Survivor Series 2020 takes place this Sunday and boasts a lineup featuring WWE Superstars from RAW and SmackDown going head-to-head in a battle for brand supremacy.
The two Survivor Series matches have Team RAW, consisting of Keith Lee, AJ Styles, Sheamus, Braun Strowman, and Riddle, taking on Team SmackDown with Kevin Owens, Jey Uso, Seth Rollins, King Corbin, and another wrestler not yet chosen.
On the women's side, Team RAW consists of Shayna Baszler, Nia Jax, Lacey Evans, Peyton Royce, and Lana who will face Team SmackDown with Bianca Belair, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, and two more competitors to be determined.
Newly-crowned WWE Champion Drew McIntyre will fight Universal Champion Roman Reigns in a highly-anticipated match.
RAW Women's Champion Asuka will take on SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks in another match between these long-time rivals.
RAW Tag Team Champions The New Day take on their SmackDown counterparts The Street Profits, while United States Champion Bobby Lashley faces Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn.
And finally, this year's show will host the final farewell to The Undertaker.
These exciting inter-brand matches give the event many possibilities for some very interesting outcomes.
In this article, we will look at five potential outcomes from Survivor Series.
#5 Carmella interferes and costs Sasha Banks the match against Asuka at Survivor Series
Survivor Series is the perfect place for Carmella to continue her assaults on Sasha Banks.
The Boss successfully defended her newly-won SmackDown women's championship against Bayley earlier this month. However, Banks' celebrations were cut short when Carmella superkicked her at the top of the ramp. To add insult to injury, the same thing happened the following week.
Asuka and Sasha Banks have a long and storied history. During the summer, they were locked in a bitter rivalry over the Women's Tag Team Championships and the RAW Women's Championship. Banks captured the Red brand's Championship in controversial fashion at Extreme Rules but lost it to Asuka at SummerSlam.
Fast forward to now, and both are the babyface champions of their respective brands. WWE won't want to weaken either of the women's champions. Asuka is in no particular feud with anyone from RAW, therefore, it would be best if WWE went for a dodgy finish.
Carmella getting involved and costing Sasha Banks the match will be an easy albeit cheap way out for WWE to keep both champions strong by not taking the loss while furthering The Boss' next feud.
#4 Jey Uso becomes the sole survivor at Survivor Series
Jey Uso is part of Team SmackDown who will face off against Team RAW at Survivor Series.
Jey Uso, Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, King Corbin, and another wrestler not yet chosen will face Keith Lee, AJ Styles, Sheamus, Braun Strowman, and Riddle in the classic five-on-five elimination match.
However, there is a deep-set animosity in both teams. Egos and rivalries have caused the teams on both brands to argue, attack and fight one another. This uncertainty embedded in the teams will be the perfect storm at Survivor Series.
Jey Uso riding high heading into Survivor Series
Ever since Jey Uso lost to Roman Reigns' in a brutal and dramatic Hell in a Cell 'I Quit' Match, he has gone through a massive character shift. A surprising and violent attack on Daniel Bryan solidified his heel turn. The following week, he did the same to Kevin Owens and took his place behind the Tribal Chief.
The feud between Reigns and Uso to get to this point was nothing short of astounding. Although Reigns has taken much of the plaudits for this intense rivalry, it wouldn't have felt half as good if it wasn't for Uso playing his part to perfection.
Uso has been on a fantastic run and has had great matches with Bryan, Owens and McIntyre. Another superb performance at Survivor Series and victory for Team SmackDown is most certainly a possibility for Jey Uso this Sunday.
But is Uso getting too cocky and confident in his newfound surroundings? Reigns has reprimanded him on several occasions for doing things without his permission.
As the sole survivor, it would boost Jey Uso's already sky-high confidence, which could be another interesting development in their relationship.
#3 Lana puts Nia Jax through the announce table at Survivor Series
Survivor Series will see the Lana and Nia Jax saga come to a head this Sunday. The Ravishing Russian has been on an extraordinary journey as of late. Last month, she won a dual brand battle royal to become the number one contender for the RAW Women’s Championship, but she lost the title match against Asuka on October 19th. Then she defeated Lacey Evans, Nikki Cross and Peyton Royce to qualify for the RAW Survivor Series team.
However, all of the good work done by her has been swept away by Nia Jax who has now Samoan Dropped Lana through the WWE announce table for nine consecutive weeks.
Survivor Series is the perfect place for Lana to get her revenge on Nia Jax
Sympathy for Lana has grown over the last nine weeks as she is the target of Jax and Baszler's bullying ways. As partners in the five-on-five elimination match for Team RAW, there's no doubt frictions will boil over once more between Lana and Jax at Survivor Series.
There are several ways in which Lana can exact revenge on Jax, and it will be entertaining to see how they do so. But expect to see Nia Jax getting her comeuppance and get smashed through the WWE announce table.
#2 The Miz attempts to cash in his MITB briefcase at Survivor Series
The Miz is the Money in the Bank briefcase holder, and he has been threatening to cash it in over the last few weeks. Survivor Series could the place where he does it as WWE Champion Drew McIntyre takes on Universal Champion, Roman Reigns in what will be an intense and physical affair.
Reigns and McIntyre got in each other's face last week, and their chemistry was off the charts. It may have foreshadowed the title match on RAW between Orton and McIntyre, but it was clear that the Tribal Chief versus the big Scotsman was the match WWE wanted to take place at Survivor Series.
There can be little doubt that McIntyre and Reigns have been two of the best booked WWE wrestlers in years. Both champions are on incredible runs and have carried the company through the pandemic-era.
With both Reigns and McIntyre being set up so impressively over the last several months it is hard to envisage either of them losing the match. Therefore, a cash-in for The Miz seems very likely.
The Miz could cash in his MITB briefcase at Survivor Series
Ever since The Miz defeated Otis at Hell in a Cell to get the briefcase, he has been very bold about cashing it in. In fact, Miz has been so brave that he got in the face of McIntyre before his title match against Randy Orton on the most recent episode on RAW.
As both champions have been booked so strong, it isn't easy to pick a clear favourite to win. Therefore, an attempted cash in from The Miz at Survivor Series would be a logical distraction and a way out of the match without having either champion take the loss. The Miz's cash in, however, may not be successful and could result in him getting beaten up and cause a no-contest finish between the two champions.
#1 The Fiend and The Undertaker cross paths at Survivor Series
Survivor Series would be the perfect place for The Undertaker and The Fiend to meet face-to-face finally.
The Undertaker made his WWE debut at Survivor Series in 1990. This year he bids farewell to the WWE Universe. Judging by the worldwide promotion, WWE will give the occasion all of the pomp and circumstance it deserves.
In an interview for the New York Post, The Undertaker recently spoke very positively about The Fiend and applauded the character.
"We could have really done something special together. Especially since I worked with Bray right after I lost to Brock that year. I think it would have been a really nice catalyst into where he's at now."
Bray Wyatt raised many eyebrows when he replied to a tweet that the official WWE account put out. The post was promoting The Undertaker's 'Final Farewell", reliving all of the Deadman's opponents. Wyatt replied simply with "Not quite ALL".
Could this ominous message and The Undertaker's desire to work with The Fiend foreshadow what is to come at Survivor Series? There is definitely a possibility of something like this taking place.
At the end of the ceremony, expect to see the lights flicker and power down. The eery screech could play and The Fiend could make his presence felt. No physicality may take place but just a moment between the two, where The Fiend and The Undertaker could stand side-by-side in what would be a perfect passing-of-the-torch moment.
