5 Surprises that might happen on Raw and SmackDown after Survivor Series

The Survivor Series PPV in itself was a surprise to the WWE Universe as Raw thrived at the PPV without a single defeat. Also, in the main event of the PPV, we saw Daniel Bryan taking on Brock Lesnar. As witnessed, the YES man was so close to beating The Beast Incarnate but unfortunately, no one can survive against The Beast.

As now the Survivor Series has passed, let's talk about what surprises could we see next week on the episodes of Raw and SmackDown Live. So, here in the list. Let's try to figure out what things WWE might do next week on WWE TV to surprise us as WWE will now start building towards their next PPV - TLC.

Let me know in the end which of these scenarios are likely to surprise you.

#5 Bobby Roode and Chad Gable break-up

Expect this strange alliance of Roode and Gable to come to an end next week

The alliance of Bobby Roode and Chad Gable certainly came out of the blue. Nobody could have imagined these two men to unite as a team. And if you are enjoying seeing these two men unite as a team, then don't get your hopes too high because every team is meant to be broken and the team of Roode and Gable is certainly one of them.

Also according to rumors, these two men were brought together as a team so Roode could turn heel which will eventually escalate his career as his Glorious gimmick has always suited his character as a villain, not as a good guy.

So, hopefully, next week, expect this strange alliance of Roode and Gable to break-up. And I guess WWE Universe is looking forward for Roode's heel turn more than seeing Gable as a face.

#4 SAnitY Challenges The Bar

Expect the insane ones to finally rise to the occasion and challenge the blue brand's tag-team champion

The Bar became SmackDown Live tag-team champions on SmackDown 1000 beating The New Day for the titles, thanks to the interference by Big Show. Also, speaking of SAnitY, they joined the main-roster a few months back too. Since then the insane ones have fought with The New Day and many others.

And though for a long time they have been kept in an underrated position, not for long now. As I guess, SAnitY is the only relevant team The Bar can have a feud with as they are done with The New Day (I hope so), The Usos and with The Good Brothers too. So, hopefully, there's no other viable option for The Bar to feud with other than SAnitY.

Expect the insane ones to finally rise to the occasion and challenge the blue brand's tag-team champion, hopefully winning the title in the process.

#3 The Revival becomes the first team to challenge Authors of Pain

Expect The Revival to step-up and challenge AOP next week on Raw

Authors of Pain won the Raw tag-team titles beating Seth Rollins for them in a 2-on-1 handicap match a few weeks back on Monday Night Raw. Since winning the titles, the champions were seen focused on their upcoming match at Survivor Series against The Bar at Survivor Series PPV.

But with the Survivor Series PPV now in hindsight, expect The Revival to step-up and challenge AOP next week on Raw. There's little to no chance that AOP will lose the titles on their first title defense, especially after beating The Bar at Survivor Series.

So, I hope the only team on Raw that can afford a defeat from the hands of Akam and Razar is none other than that of Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson. Suffering a defeat will not harm their career given how poorly they have been booked this year so far.

#2 Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville split

From a few weeks now WWE is teasing a potential break-up between the two women

Mandy Rose is currently playing a character of a gorgeous goddess in WWE. While her team partner Sonya Deville plays a character of an MMA-esque fighter. These two continuing to be a team seems to make little sense now, given how different characters both these women portray on SmackDown Live.

Also, from a few weeks now WWE is teasing a potential break-up between the two women. And in case you've missed picking up the signs, just watch last week's SmackDown Live where Rose objected, how Deville made it to Team SmackDown for this year's Survivor Series PPV and not her.

So, next week you can expect more friction to build up between these two women. And who knows, WWE might finally decide to break them up as a team as soon as next week.

#1 NXT call-ups

Will any of the NXT Superstars will make their main-roster debut this week?

From a couple of weeks, there has been one rumor floating around suggesting that WWE is planning to bring up some NXT Superstars following Survivor Series. Though, usually, NXT brand's Superstars pops up to the main roster on Raw or SmackDown after WrestleMania, this time the NXT call-ups are coming early only if we believe the rumor mill.

So, the basic question now is that who'll be called up to the main roster?

Will it be Aleister Black who last night at NXT TakeOver: WarGames II defeated Johnny Gargano or will it be the latter himself?

According to the latest rumor, these two men are being considered to be brought to the main roster although it's not clear whether on the red or blue brand. But, to see if any of the yellow brand's Superstars will really be called up to the main roster, we'll have to watch next week's Raw and SmackDown Live.
