Hell in a Cell is now officially in the rear view mirror for the WWE roster, which means that the build up to Survivor Series will begin tonight on RAW. Survivor Series is the one night of the year where the RAW, SmackDown and sometimes NXT rosters are able to test their mettle against one another and prove who reigns supreme.

Following the recent WWE Draft, both RAW and SmackDown are looking completely different after bringing in some new recruits. The SmackDown Women's Division has definitely been boosted by the stars who the blue brand have recently added.

These new additions give WWE many options when it comes to the Women's team at Survivor Series in just a few weeks time.


#5. Zelina Vega could be added to SmackDown's Survivor Series team

Zelina Vega was drafted over to SmackDown after the official draft came to an end, this means that she has been split from both Andrade and Angel Garza and can now go it alone.

Vega may have made a name for herself as a manager on NXT and Monday Night RAW, but the star also has a wealth of in-ring experience, as well, and has been part of some interesting feuds already.

Vega could be an interesting addition to this year's women's Survivor Series team, since she hasn't been part of the match before. It's been reported several times that Vince McMahon is a huge fan of the former RAW Superstar and in order for her to be pushed to the top level of the Women's Division on SmackDown, the company has to allow her to rise through the ranks.

Vega held her own when wrestling Asuka and even up against Bianca Belair last week, she could be a dark horse in a multi-woman match.

#4. Carmella could return to be part of Survivor Series

Carmella is no stranger to the Survivor Series format and has made up the numbers in the women's team in the past.

In recent months, Carmella has gone through a dramatic change and has noted that she is no longer "The Princess of Staten Island," but is now "Untouchable." Since making this statement and being unveiled as the mystery star behind the viginettes, Carmella hasn't been seen on WWE TV.

It's clear that she has now turned heel and if the creative team has nothing for Carmella moving forward then a feud could be created inside the Women's Survivor Series match.

In recent years there have been many women added to the match that don't get along and this has allowed them to create storylines coming out of the show. Carmella could be added to the match and pick up a storyline just by being part of the show.

SmackDown does have many options including The Riott Squad, Billie Kay and Tamina but none of these women have been seen on the blue brand since being drafted.

#3. Natalya could be the experienced star in the Survivor Series team

Natalya was quite the addition to SmackDown as part of the WWE Draft a few weeks ago, which allowed The Queen of Black Harts to finally leave Lana behind on RAW. Natalya has been on SmackDown before and is a former SmackDown Women's Champion, who has experience in the Survivor Series team.

Nattie has been on hand numerous times to help her team and would be a safe pair of hands if added to the match. The former Champion has more wrestling experience than any other female wrestler in the company so it goes without saying that if SmackDown wanted to ensure a win, then they would have Nattie on their team.

With many new recruits coming over to SmackDown following the WWE Draft and the added fact that NXT's youngsters could also be part of the match again this year. There needs to be some kind of experience in the Survivor Series match to ensure that 15 women are able to put together a solid showing.

#2. Bianca Belair should be part of the Survivor Series team

Bianca Belair was seen as a woman who could be the future of the company during her time in NXT, but wasn't used to her full potential after finally appearing on RAW. That being said, in recent weeks WWE has been showing some videos about Belair that show that they are trying to make it clear that she is something new and different in the Women's Division.

Belair was able to defeat Zelina Vega in her first match on SmackDown last week, and she could follow that up this week by being added to the Women's Survivor Series team.

Belair would be a tough addition to the team and would definitely be someone who would be able to rack up a few eliminations of her own if given the chance to. In a team of women who are not used to working together, Belair would be a safe person to have on the team and someone who could almost guarantee a victory.

If Rhea Ripley and Shayna Baszler are going to be on the RAW and NXT teams for Survivor Series then SmackDown needs someone who is of the same calibre and at present Belair is the only option.

#1. Bayley should be a member of the Women's Survivor Series team

Bayley lost her SmackDown Women's Championship to Sasha Banks inside Hell in a Cell last night, which means that the former Champion will now be relegated to a place in the Survivor Series team for the blue brand.

Sasha Banks will now go on to wrestle the Women's Champions from both RAW and NXT if the company decides to continue the same format as last year. Whilst it will be tough for Bayley to not be seen as the Champion after more than a year at the helm on SmackDown, the feud with Banks will continue but may need to take a pause ahead of Survivor Series.

Bayley has experience being part of a Survivor Series team and could help her team if she's able to see past the fact that she won't be fighting for the Women's Championship. It's likely that Banks and Bayley will pick up their feud at TLC, but until then the former Champion could be forced to play her part for her brand.
