But how will this epic encounter between the two famous factions end? We've concocted 5 possible ways to entice your curiosity. But there's no telling how WWE will really end the big match.

However, this list states the five most viable ways to go.

#1. New Day traitor

Could this be the end of The New Day?

The New Day's promo on the SmackDown Live before Survivor Series was kind of intriguing. They mentioned The Shield's history many times and said that the Hounds of Justoce have turned on each other before. That phenomenon, however, has never happened to the Unicorns of the WWE.

Some could see this as slight foreshadowing that either Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, or Big E might be turning on their partners and breaking up the band and merchandise machine. It would certainly be a surprising way to go with things.

Truth be told, out of all the members of The New Day, Xavier Woods might be the best candidate for this kind of turn. He has a biting wit on the microphone which could easily be translated into a heel turn.

But only time will tell on that one because The New Day might never break up because, in all honesty, they never need to.

#2. 5-Star classic

What if they get all the stars?

The New Day is adept at tearing the house down. Their last feud with The Usos was something worth remembering and would be a great example of matches for any aspiring tag team to watch.

On the opposite side of the fence, The Shield are also pretty incredible. Every member of The Shield has been able to set out on their own since the Hounds Of Justice broke up and blaze their own trail in the world of sports entertainment.

These two teams could be magic in the ring.

In the end, it might turn into the kind of match that is so incredible it doesn't matter who actually comes out as the winner because it is just semantics after a breathtaking contest.

#3. Surprise NXT call-up

Could we be getting some new blood in WWE?

Survivor Series is known for a lot of things including surprising debuts. While the fans could still hold on to the possibility of seeing Paige make a triumphant return at Survivor Series, there's always the chance another big debut could be on the way.

The Authors Of Pain have been in NXT for a while now and held the top titles in WWE's developmental territory. With The Undisputed Era's emergence in NXT, this could give AOP a chance to take their talents to a bigger stage.

NXT TakeOver: WarGames might just be Authors Of Pain's NXT swansong and provide a launching pad to debut on the main roster the next night at Survivor Series.

What if The Shield vs. The New Day's big match witnesses an interruption by the surprise debut from Akam and Rezar alongside Paul Ellering? Such a debut would certainly put them on a high level on the main roster right off the bat and give the fans a decent display of their destructive powers.

It would also leave some question about which main roster brand Authors Of Pain belongs to since this is a cross-promotional matchup. WWE has the opportunity to play out a fun story here.

#4. No finish

This match could get crazy

These two teams have a lot of fire between them. Each member has their own reason to dominate in this competition and it could easily spill out into an uncontrollable all-out brawl. Therefore, what if after a decent contest, the referee loses all control of the proceedings and is forced to make the decision to call off the match?

If they spilled out into the crowd and set up some kind of sick spot in a prearranged area near the entrance ramp or in a backstage area, there could be little to no chance for The Shield or The New Day to make it back to the ring.

It would have to be something incredible, though; like a double tower of doom off the stage or something of that magnitude. But never put it past WWE to come up with an insane spot so their two top factions can still thrill fans with neither team losing any heat in the process.

#5. The Shield reign supreme

They still look great standing next to each other

Roman Reigns is going to be WWE's top guy whether the smarks like it or not. On the same token, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose are both valuable superstars who WWE obviously values.

The New Day has been able to put people over and come right back the next week with their popular antics and make it work without losing the heat most would. They have a unique ability to retain heat by promo ability alone.

Therefore, this match could turn into "Triple Powerbomb City" with Kofi Kingston, Big E, and Xavier Woods taking the Shield's signature move all over the place.

It wouldn't be a big surprise for The Shield to dominate the closing moments of this contest. It's a position they've been in before and would be a suiting pay-per-view return for The Hounds Of Justice.
