Predicting Raw and SmackDown's Survivor Series men's teams

#10 Randy Orton (SmackDown)

It wouldn't be Survivor Series without Randy Orton. The Apex Predator has made the November spectacular one of his calling cards, having been sole survivor on numerous occasions throughout his long career.

Recall that just two years ago, he was the sole survivor on the SmackDown side, which vaulted him into a victory at the Royal Rumble just two months later. Again, Survivor Series is an important event in terms of revealing WrestleMania plans.

Though I don't expect Randy Orton to repeat the success he had two years ago, he's nevertheless always going to be one to watch. He'll probably be a linchpin of SmackDown's offering at the big event on April 7th, 2019. Pay close attention to the way he performs on November 17th. He's always going to be lurking in the shadows (which is perfect for his current heel turn) as a major threat.
