WWE has many options for Team SmackDown this year

Survivor Series is now right around the corner and whilst Monday Night RAW has already announced their women's team to compete against SmackDown and their men's team is almost complete, it appears that the Blue brand are slowly putting their teams together.

At present, Bianca Belair is the only woman on team SmackDown with Survivor Series just over two weeks away. Over on the men's side, Kevin Owens and Jey Uso are the only men who have qualified to represent their brand, but there are still three episodes of SmackDown ahead of WWE's penultimate pay-per-view of the year.

The 2020 WWE Draft allowed SmackDown to strengthen their ranks which means that they have many options for the vacant three slots.


#5 WWE's Aleister Black

Aleister Black was one of the stars who was brought over to SmackDown as part of the recent WWE Draft but he is yet to make any kind of an impact on the Blue brand. The former NXT Champion has proved his worth numerous times in the past and would definitely be someone that could help on Team SmackDown.

Black has striking ability like no other Superstar and could easily get past any qualifier that WWE puts in his way. It will be interesting to see if the company allows Black to make his SmackDown debut this week as part of a qualifying match or hold off on his addition to the team until a later date.

During his time on RAW, Black worked closely with Paul Heyman and has improved greatly on the mic, whilst he already had a fantastic in-ring character. It would be a huge mistake for WWE and SmackDown to overlook one of their hottest prospects when Monday Night RAW has recently added Braun Strowman to their team.

#4 WWE star Chad Gable

A few weeks ago, Chad Gable was still known as Shorty G and wasn't being taken seriously on the SmackDown brand. The former Tag Team Champion then made the decision to bin the name that the company had given to him last year and go back to the name that he had become a tag team champion with.

Gable is a former Olympic wrestler and has proved his strength and ability several times when pulling off his incredible German Suplex. The fact that Gable has been able to revert back to his old name in recent weeks means that WWE must have some plan for the former NXT star.

Gable proved throughout his time in NXT that he was a fantastic tag team wrestler and was able to get to the final of the King of the Ring tournament before he became the butt of several jokes in WWE about his height.

The former Champion could be an integral part of Team SmackDown against the likes of AJ Styles, Sheamus, Keith Lee, and Braun Strowman.

#3 WWE's former Mr. Money in the Bank Otis

Otis has had quite a rough time in recent weeks. His girlfriend, Mandy Rose, was drafted over to RAW as part of the 2020 Draft before Heavy Machinery was officially split. The Miz then took Otis to court and was able to bribe the judge into forcing Otis to put his Money in the Bank contract on the line at Hell in a Cell where Otis lost.

Add into this equation the fact that his best friend Tucker was the reason why Otis lost one of the most important matches of his WWE career, and that would sum up a terrible month for the former NXT star.

Tucker has since been drafted over to Monday Night RAW, which means that the only way that Otis can exact any kind of revenge would be to qualify for a place on Team SmackDown and hope that Tucker can represent his brand as well.

It's unlikely that WWE will allow the two men to have a feud when they are from separate brands, but they could eliminate each other from the match and allow Otis to gain some form of revenge.

#2 WWE's King Corbin

Baron Corbin has been known as King Corbin over the past year and it appears that the former United States Champion currently has nothing to do at Survivor Series. Whilst the likes of Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns will be competing in Champion vs Champion matches, the King still awaits his match at one of WWE's biggest pay-per-views of the year.

What would Survivor Series be without controversy? The SmackDown and RAW teams have always had their issues in years gone by and there has been a question of whether or not the teams will be able to co-exist.

Corbin doesn't seem to have any friends on SmackDown and adding him to the Survivor Series team would guarantee fireworks. Corbin doesn't work well in a team and it was Chad Gable that he defeated in the King of the Ring final last year, so this could be a fantastic way of re-igniting a feud.

Corbin's battle to be captain of Team SmackDown could be an interesting storyline as well and could set-up future feuds for him.

#1 WWE's Freak Lars Sullivan

Lars Sullivan recently made his return to WWE TV and he has already made quite an impact. The Freak was drafted to SmackDown and had since been seen as their new monster, which would be the perfect answer to Braun Strowman over on Team RAW.

It could be too soon for Sullivan and Strowman to trade blows in a multi-man match since The Monster Among Men has already been built as one of the most dominant stars in the company whilst Sullivan's career has been plagued with injuries.

Sullivan is the only WWE star at present that could combat what Braun Strowman is bringing to Team RAW and could be one of the best additions to Team SmackDown in the coming weeks. There were also rumors earlier this year that the company was planning some kind of feud between the two men in the future.

Sullivan is trying to become known as The Freak on SmackDown and needs to make some kind of impression, and Survivor Series has become the perfect place to make a statement over the years.
