With Hell in a Cell done and dusted, the WWE will turn its attention towards Survivor Series on November 22nd. Survivor Series is one of WWE's Big Four annual pay-per-views and is surely going to be an entertaining spectacle.
Since the brand split in 2016, Survivor Series has become an arena where Superstars fight for brand supremacy. While WWE's RAW and SmackDown squared off initially, NXT was also included in the fray in 2019.
WWE's Red brand in particular will have a lot to prove at this event. NXT dominated last year's Survivor Series where RAW's only victory was in the pre-show. Regarded as WWE's A-Show, RAW will be looking to make a strong comeback.
All three brands will be looking to build fierce teams to represent them in the pay-per-view. The men's Survivor Series elimination match will see five Superstars from each brand face-off with the last team standing gaining a crucial point for their brand.
The recently concluded WWE Draft has provided RAW and SmackDown with some fresh faces. While the champions will be busy facing each other, all three brands have more than enough star power to put together threatening teams.
Here is a look at the five WWE Superstars who could potentially represent RAW in the men's Survivor Series.
1) Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre just dropped his WWE Championship to Randy Orton, and the fuming Scotsman will undoubtedly be looking to reclaim it. Unfortunately, the title is unlikely to be on the line at Survivor Series as the WWE Champion usually squares off against the Universal Champion (Roman Reigns) from SmackDown.
Since the brand split in 2016, the singles titles on both brands have not been defended at Survivor Series. If that is the case in 2020 as well, Drew McIntyre will have to wait a bit to get his hands on The Viper again.
While Drew McIntyre may not be keen on being away from the WWE Championship, an opportunity to lead Team RAW could keep him busy over the next few weeks. He is arguably the biggest Superstar on RAW at the moment and WWE will be hoping to keep his momentum intact.
Drew McIntyre marshaling RAW's men's division positions him as a leader. Captains of Survivor Series teams generally have impressive showings at the event as well. Thus, this is the perfect method to temporarily keep Drew McIntyre out of the title picture while also improving his stock.
2) Former WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman

The Monster Among Men is the only WWE Superstar to have been featured in every WWE men's Survivor Series elimination match since the brand split. He has been in RAW's corner three times and on Team SmackDown once.
Braun Strowman has recently wrestled with top Superstars such as Roman Reigns and Keith Lee. But there seems to be another big plan brewing for the former Universal Champion going forward.
On a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed that WWE is looking to build a gargantuan clash between Braun Strowman and Lars Sullivan somewhere down the line. He did note, however, there needs to be a reason for it:
"But there's got to be a destination. I mean, it's Strowman in a year but not yet."
Survivor Series is the ideal place to sow the seeds for their eventual clash. Lars Sullivan could find himself as part of Team SmackDown and give WWE fans a sample of what to expect by having a brief scuffle with Braun Strowman.
WWE can use this to build a feud in a year, according to plan. This will mark the start of a monstrous rivalry between the two giants, which WWE creative will undoubtedly capitalize on to produce scintillating promos and hype.
3) Former WWE NXT Champion Keith Lee

Keith Lee's run on WWE's main roster has been far from ideal. Almost all of his matches have ended via disqualification or no-contest, which has fans worried that he may turn into just another underutilized NXT call-up.
Survivor Series is the perfect opportunity to build Keith Lee back up and provide him with some momentum going forward. In fact, Keith Lee's dominant performance for Team NXT during Survivor Series 2019 went a long way in introducing him to the world at large.
Keith Lee was the last man standing for Team NXT after his captain Tomasso Ciampa got eliminated by Seth Rollins. Keith Lee pinned Seth Rollins clean and almost put away Roman Reigns to give Team NXT the victory.
Nonetheless, watching the hulking wrestler from NXT impress against WWE's top stars really made the world take notice of Keith Lee. Survivor Series can once again be the stage where The Limitless One revitalizes his career.
Each WWE brand aims to choose their strongest five non-champions to represent them in the Survivor Series elimination match. Hence, Keith Lee is almost a certainty to represent the Red brand.
4) Former WWE Champion AJ Styles

Arguably the largest acquisition by WWE RAW during the draft was The Phenomenal One. AJ Styles is one of the most talented wrestlers in the entire WWE and Team RAW not having him within their ranks at Survivor Series is nearly unthinkable.
AJ Styles usually represents the Blue brand, with 2019 being the first time he fought on behalf of WWE RAW. Nonetheless, AJ Styles has time and again shown the WWE Universe that he is the best in the business.
Since coming to SmackDown, AJ Styles appears to be done feuding with Sami Zayn and Jeff Hardy. WWE has indicated that he might turn his eyes on Matt Riddle, but only time will tell if that is true.
AJ Styles has been trusted to play the anchor's role in big matches on numerous occasions by WWE. He ensures smooth proceedings when there are several moving parts, which will be a valuable asset in a 15-man elimination tag match such as this.
Interestingly, AJ Styles introduced the towering Jordan Omogbehin as his bodyguard during last week's episode of WWE RAW. Survivor Series elimination matches have a history of outside interferences and Jordan Omogbehin's imposing presence at ringside can add an interesting dynamic to the bout.
5) WWE's Original Bro, Matt Riddle

Matt Riddle is another recent NXT call-up in need of direction. After a promising WWE main roster debut where he pinned AJ Styles (during his Intercontinental Championship crowning ceremony), Matt Riddle's momentum seems to have fizzled out.
After a lengthy feud with King Corbin on SmackDown, Matt Riddle was moved to WWE RAW during the recent draft. As mentioned before, Matt Riddle and AJ Styles appear to be on a collision course.
Another prominent aspect of Survivor Series team matches is internal conflict among the teams. Having AJ Styles and Matt Riddle on RAW's team will undoubtedly lead to some tense moments when they are forced to team up.
According to reports, Vince McMahon is currently high on Matt Riddle because he reminds the WWE boss of a young Shawn Micheals. This bodes well for RAW's new recruit and he could definitely land a spot in their Survivor Series team.
Matt Riddle represented Team NXT during last year's Survivor Series. He made quite an impact by eliminating Randy Orton before quickly getting pinned by King Corbin.
Watching Matt Riddle square off against some of his old rivals from NXT and relive his best feuds from the Black and Gold brand will surely be a sight to see.
One name conspicuous by his absence is The Fiend. One of the most prominent Superstars in WWE, featuring The Fiend on a Survivor Series team may do more harm than good. Allying with other Superstars for brand supremecy would undermine the eerie, supernatural aura surrounding the host of the Firefly Fun House.
