Survivor Series has traditionally been one of the big four pay per views for WWE. This year the Raw and SmackDown brand war at Survivor Series will have a few big names, and there have been some interesting rumours floating around about the WWE's plans for superstars, this could take shape at Survivor Series.

Ronda Rousey was going to take on Becky Lynch until Becky sustained an injury on Monday Night Raw, and now it will be Ronda Rousey vs Charlotte Flair.

AJ Styles was set to face Brock Lesnar until he was defeated by Daniel Bryan for the WWE title, and now it will be WWE Champion Daniel Bryan vs Universal Champion Brock Lesnar in a champion versus champion Match, and the United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura will face the Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins in a champion vs champion match at Survivor Series as well.

This year's card is fairly unpredictable, giving the fans more reason to be optimistic about the event. With its rich history and significance, WWE would ideally want to step up and deliver a good show for the fans.

Here are the 5 things WWE should do to make Survivor Series a memorable event.


#5 Turn Asuka heel

Last year Asuka was the most dominant athlete in the women's division, as Chyna was two decades ago. Things have changed drastically, since WWE Creative is interested in pushing Charlotte Flair over Asuka.

Asuka had to take a back seat, and this has severely hurt her credibility in the eyes of the fans. Asuka was the dominant force in NXT. She remained undefeated, going on a record breaking run as the NXT Women's Champion, and she needs to be pushed once again as a dominant force in the WWE.

At Survivor Series, Asuka will participate in a traditional five on five Survivor Series match, and it would be the perfect platform to give the superstar her mojo back by turning Asuka heel, and putting her in the title picture against Becky Lynch.

#4 The Return of Bludgeon Brothers

Rowan and Harper were the dominant tag teams on SmackDown, unlike The Usos and The New Day, The Bludgeon Brothers were big, scary, and chaotic.

They soon won the tag titles by beating The Usos. However, with Rowan getting injured, they had to drop the belts and have taken time off TV.

At Survivor Series, five teams from Raw are scheduled to face five teams from SmackDown Live in an elimination match, and that would be the perfect opportunity to reintroduce The Bludgeon Brothers, and have them run riot during the match.


#3 Ronda Rousey's first loss

Ever since Ronda Rousey made her WWE debut at WrestleMania, she has been booked as the most dominant force in the company, and it does make sense to build the division around her, considering she was the UFC bantamweight champion for years.

It won't be long before WWE fans get tired of watching Ronda manhandle her opponents, because Ronda has made the other female talent look weak.

With a loss to Charlotte at Survivor Series, WWE could also tweak Ronda's character to make her gimmick more interesting.

#2 Turn Drew McIntyre face

Over the past month WWE has been pushing drew McIntyre as a dominant monster who could take out Braun Strowman. McIntyre's fortunes have changed completely since his first run with the company.

The superstar is more intense and focused, and with Roman Reigns out of the picture, reports are suggesting that Vince McMahon wants to push McIntyre as the next big superstar in the company. McIntyre has been named as one of the members of Team Raw for the traditional Survivor Series match.

WWE needs to start pushing McIntyre as a baby-face. His association with Ziggler no longer makes any sense, and Drew needs to be inserted into a long meaningful program with a top heel in the company at Survivor Series.


#1 Set up a match between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker

At Crown Jewel, Shawn Michaels came out of retirement after eight years, and was still the best performer. In the main event it was clear that Shawn could still outperform most of the WWE talent backstage.

Shawn and Triple H picked up the win as D-Generation X. As per multiple reports and rumors, this was done to set up a match between Michaels and The Undertaker. If WWE wants to book a match between them, they need to lay the groundwork at Survivor Series.

At the moment, neither superstar has been advertised for the show, but with The Undertaker making his WWE debut during the pay-per-view nearly three decades ago, WWE needs to book the two in a segment hyping their rumoured match.
