5 Superstars who could return at Survivor Series

Following the controversial Crown Jewel PPV, where Superstars from yesteryear headlined the show, and Brock Lesnar became the first two-time Universal champion, we move to one of the big four PPVs of WWE, Survivor Series.

The penultimate PPV of 2018, Survivor Series will see Superstars from both brands face each other, for the only time in the year.

Brock Lesnar and AJ Styles will once again face off at Survivor Series, in a repeat of the 2017 PPV, while Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura will compete in the other singles match. We will also see the traditional RAW vs SmackDown Survivor Series elimination match for the men and women, as well as Survivor Series tag team elimination match for the men.

Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch will face off in a singles match at the PPV, which will be held on November 18, 2018, in Los Angeles, California.

Let's have a look at 5 Superstars who could return at the 2018 Survivor Series.

#1 Lita and #2 Trish Stratus

Trish Stratus and Lita

The last few months have seen great progress and many firsts for women's wrestling in WWE. We saw the first-ever all-women's PPV, Evolution, while there has also been one of the best feuds of the year in all of WWE between Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch.

Since this year's WrestleMania, there has been growing talk about the introduction of women's tag team titles on WWE, with even Stephanie McMahon acknowledging the need for WWE to add it.

Survivor Series could be the perfect place to introduce the tag titles as we will have a traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series elimination match between Team RAW and Team SmackDown.

Two Superstars who could be in one of the most formidable tag teams in WWE are Lita and Trish Stratus, and there could be a possibility of the two WWE Hall of Famers returning at Survivor Series to make a mark and stamp their authority if Stephanie McMahon and co. announce the women's tag team titles.

There have been some hints that the tag titles could be introduced as we've seen women on RAW pairing up in recent times, like Sasha Banks and Bayley, as well as Tamina and Nia Jax recently. The women's roster has enough and more Superstars to make many tag teams.

#3 Rowan

Rowan

The Bludgeon Brothers' reign as SmackDown tag team champions was cut short due to Rowan's injury, following which The New Day won the title, and then later won by The Bar, who are the current holders of the title.

At Survivor Series, we will see a 5-on-5 Survivor Series tag team elimination match where 5 tag teams from RAW will face off against 5 tag teams from SmackDown. The New Day and The Usos are the two tag teams that have been announced so far from SmackDown, and there is a possibility that the Bludgeon Brothers could be one of the five.

Reports in October said that Rowan has been on the mend since his bicep injury which he sustained in August. The former Wyatt Family Superstars could be one of the surprise teams in the match, who could squash many teams, which would give them great momentum to set up a mouth-watering feud with The Bar.

#4 Matt Hardy

Will he or won't he - that's what many fans have been wondering about Matt Hardy's retirement status. The WWE legend had hinted earlier this year that he was done with wrestling, posting photos from the past on social media and thanking fans and wrestlers.

But, Hardy later claimed that he hasn't retired from the WWE, and this past week, returned to the WWE and was part of WWE's live events in Europe.

At a recent live event in Spain, Hardy was part of brawl which ended the show, attacking Jinder Mahal and other Superstars. It seems like Hardy is back for good, and Survivor Series could be where he surprises WWE fans and returns to the ring.

#5 Bray Wyatt

Matt Hardy's last tag team partner, Bray Wyatt, hasn't been on WWE television since Hardy's last match. Wyatt has been teasing a return to the ring the last few weeks, with cryptic tweets.

There were rumours that Wyatt would be reforming The Wyatt Family and perhaps be Braun Strowman's henchmen in his quest for the Universal title, but those rumours have died down after Lesnar's victory at Crown Jewel.

Day 1, Silence. No matter what questions, no words. Not even do the facial expressions change. His eyes give me an uneasy feeling. As if I am teetering on a ledge of a high rise building, contemplating whether or not I should jump. He knows what he did.

The ideal situation - and the logical one - would be Wyatt and Hardy partnering to be a surprise team in the 5-on-5 Survivor Series tag team elimination match for Team RAW. They duo are big names in a rather depleted RAW tag team roster, and with the match most probably being part of the pre-show to hype the crowd for the main show, a few "Delete" chants can get the crowd going.
