Predicting the 10 teams in tag team elimination match at Survivor Series

We're just days away from the last of the big four PPVs in WWE, Survivor Series, which will be held on November 18, 2018, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Like every other Survivor Series PPV, we will see Superstars from both RAW and SmackDown compete with each other. The show will see the Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar, face off against the WWE Champion, AJ Styles, a repeat of last year's match.

Intercontinental champion Seth Rollins, will face off against United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, while Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch, RAW and SmackDown women's champions, respectively, will compete against each other.

The show will also see the traditional Team RAW vs Team SmackDown 5-on-5 elimination match, while this year's show will also have the 5-on-5 elimination tag team match.

#1 The Usos & #2 The New Day - SmackDown

On this week's SmackDown show from Manchester, England, The New Day and The Usos faced off to determine the captain of the SmackDown team for 5-on-5 elimination tag team match at the 2018 Survivor Series.

The exciting match saw the two iconic tag teams battle it out, but after a huge powerbomb and a splash on Kofi Kingston, The Usos got the three count and were the captains of Team SmackDown for the elimination tag team match.

The Usos and New Day, who have had great battles in the past, will be part of Team SmackDown, as The Usos chose their arch-rivals as the first pick after becoming captains of the team.

The two teams have held the SmackDown tag team title belts a total of 6 times between them (three each), and will look to get one over their opponents from RAW at Survivor Series.

There are 8 slots remaining in the men's tag team elimination match for Survivor Series, with three teams from SmackDown and five teams from RAW set to be announced next week. AOP and The Bar, RAW and SmackDown tag team title holders, respectively, will not feature in this list as they are set to battle it out at Survivor Series.

#3 Chad Gable & Bobby Roode - RAW

Bobby Roode and Chad Gable

Since moving to RAW earlier this year after the Superstar shake-up, both Chad Gable and Bobby Roode haven't had much to do on the show. Both Superstars were destined for big things when they were called up from NXT, but their progress has halted over the last year or so.

Gable and Roode teamed up on RAW in September and have had an ongoing feud with The Ascension on RAW.

#4 The Ascension - RAW

Talking about The Ascension, they could be another team at Survivor Series in the tag team elimination match. Like the team of Gable and Roode, The Ascension have also had a horrid time on RAW, and could do with a push to get back in the reckoning.

The former NXT Tag Team Champions could be one of the five RAW teams for Survivor Series.

#5 Sanity - SmackDown

Another tag team who featured heavily on NXT television, and won the NXT Tag Team Championship, Sanity have had a run to forget on SmackDown television, since making it to the main roster earlier this year.

But, we could see it finally change for the faction. Nikki Cross made her television debut this week and took on Becky Lynch, which could be an indication that WWE's creative team may be looking at bringing the faction back to prominence. We could see Eric Young and Alexandre Wolfe compete at Survivor Series, with Killian Dain by ringside.

#6 Gallows & Anderson - SmackDown

Gallows & Anderson have had two shots at the SmackDown Live tag team belts this year, losing both times to the Bludgeon Brothers.

The former one-time RAW tag team champions could be one of the five teams from SmackDown, and would add great size to the competition!

#7 The Revival - RAW

We're following a similar pattern here! Former NXT Champions - Check. Not used properly on the main roster - Check. In desperate need of being repackaged. Check.

The Revival are two-time NXT tag team champions, and their run on the main roster has been marred by injury and limited opportunities. They've featured a few times on RAW in the last few months, with a brief feud with The B--Team and one shot at the RAW tag team championship belts against Ziggler and McIntyre.

#8 The B-Team - RAW

Speaking of The B-Team, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel have lost their momentum after The Miz was moved to SmackDown Live. They held the RAW tag team titles briefly, but lost it to McIntyre and Ziggler, following which they haven't had too many major opportunities. Survivor Series could be a good place to get back in the reckoning.

#9 Heath Slater & Rhyno - RAW

Another former tag champion team, Heath Slater and Rhyno haven't featured much on television and have been mostly seen on WWE's Main Event show.

They could be one of the teams that get eliminated early in the tag team elimination match at Survivor Series.

#10 Bludgeon Brothers - SmackDown

Erick Rowan was injured in August as he suffered a torn bicep, which required surgery. Recent reports have stated that he has consulted doctors, and perhaps be in line for a return.

Survivor Series would be the perfect setting for the Bludgeon Brothers to return and lay waste to the rest of the teams. The Usos, the captains of Team SmackDown, could announce that they have one surprise team, which could be the Bludgeon Brothers. They would be an incredible force and squash several teams of RAW in the match.
