WWE Survivor Series: 5 Possible finishes for the Women's Triple Threat

For the first time ever in WWE, the Raw Women’s Champion, SmackDown Women’s Champion and the NXT Women’s Champion will square off against one another Sunday at Survivor Series. Becky Lynch, Bayley, and Shayna Baszler will battle it out in one of the most highly anticipated matches on the card.

Lynch and Bayley have been two of the biggest driving forces for the Women's Revolution, but Baszler is looking to write the next chapter. The two time NXT Women's Champion has been on a tear since recapturing the gold at Evolution last October. The Queen of Spades has knocked off the likes of Bianca Belair, Io Shirai, Mia Yim, and Candice Larae en route to breaking Asuka's record of most combined days as Champion. Now she has her sights set on two of the best the "main roster" has to offer.

While Baszler has been running roughshod in NXT, 'The Man' is arguably on the best runs in company history. Her accolades have been well documented, but one that cannot be overlooked in this match up is Lynch holding the only victory over Baszler's friend and training partner Ronda Rousey. Meanwhile, Bayley's new attitude has her on a career resurgence. The SmackDown Women's Champion is out to prove that she is a force to be reckoned with.

There's a number of ways this match could go. Let's take a look at a few options:

---

#1 Becky Lynch wins outright

Will 'The Man' come out on top once again?

As much as it would please the Becky Lynch fans out there, I find this outcome to be the least likely to happen. There just isn't much to gain by Lynch winning. I'd argue a loss does more for 'The Man' in the long run.

Lynch has never been billed as an unstoppable force. What makes her so good is her toughness and willingness to take on any challenger. She'll fight to the bitter end, but she can be beaten. A loss at Survivor Series would do well to remind the crowd and the locker room, that she has vulnerabilities. It would also give Lynch renewed energy to prove herself heading into WrestleMania season.

A Lynch victory can't be ruled out though. Many fans were positive that Sasha Banks was going to win at Hell in a Cell, but here we are.

#2 Lynch and Baszler focus too much on each other; Allowing Bayley to get the win

Will Becky and Shayna forget about Bayley?

Much of the set up to this triple threat showdown has painted Bayley as the third wheel. It started on the episode of RAW in which the match was announced. Becky Lynch and Shayna Baszler had an intense conversation where they focused an awful lot on each other, while promising to "keep an eye" on Bayley.

The WWE social media team then got in on the act. A survey was tweeted out to the WWE Universe, asking them who they thought was the better Women's Champion. Whether on purpose or not, they did not include Bayley. Something the SmackDown Women's Champion took issue with:

what the hell is your guys problem

— Bayley (@itsBayleyWWE) November 11, 2019

This appears to possibly be an intentional set-up. It certainly seems like WWE is laying the ground work for a one on one match between Lynch and Baszler down the road. They are focused on each other, and that could pay off big time for Bayley.

As we saw on RAW Monday night and again Wednesday at NXT, 'The Man' and the 'Queen of Spades' can't wait to get their hands on one another. Once they do it may be too difficult for them to stop. That could easily allow Bayley to pick her spot and pull off the shock win before her competition even realizes what went down. My guess is Lynch would take the fall in this scenario. A small package of doom or a surprise Rose Plant should do the trick.

#3 Baszler continues her path of destruction

Does NXT reign supreme at Survivor Series?

Shayna Baszler has not been on the losing side of many matches over the last year. The NXT Women's Champion has been booked as strong as anyone in the company and it would stand-to-reason for that booking to continue at Survivor Series. That of course all depends on what the WWE hopes to accomplish with the PPV.

Is the goal to set up NXT as a brand on equal footing with both RAW and SmackDown? Is this match supposed to set the stage for a Lynch vs. Baszler match at the Royal Rumble or WrestleMania? Or Is this the first step in the long awaited showdown of the Four Horsewomen factions? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then Baszler needs to come out on top.

Not to beat a dead horse, but it does appear that the WWE is teasing some sort of long game with Lynch and Baszler. That, again, is why I like 'The Man' taking the fall in this match. Lynch falling victim to the Kirifuda Clutch, but refusing to give up would make for a satisfying TKO finish. Bayley avoids a direct loss that could be damaging to her new character, and Lynch looks strong in defeat. Meanwhile Baszler reigns supreme and secures a huge win for the Black and Gold Brand.

#4 All hell breaks loose

Does the battle for brand supremacy spill into the Women's triple threat match?

I know some fans have had all they can handle of "non-finishes", but this is absolutely a possibility. Where ever Shayna Baszler is, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir cannot be far behind. It's not a stretch to assume that Baszler's fellow MMA Horsewomen could get involved in this match.

That in turn could lead to Sasha Banks making her presence felt to help out her best friend Bayley. Maybe Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair take the next step in mending their friendship and the Queen shows up to help out 'The Man' who, all of a sudden, is drastically outnumbered.

Cue Rhea Ripley, Tegan Knox, Kay Lee Ray and the rest of team NXT. Now here comes Carmella, Dana Brooke, and Nikki Cross from SmackDown. Then the RAW women come down throwing hay-makers. It would be all out chaos. Fights could spill out all over the place. As we saw on NXT Wednesday, things can get out of hand rather quickly. Especially if Cross has another trash can lid.

Typically there are no disqualifications in triple threat matches, but if certain members of the match are incapacitated while others are in a battle outside of the arena - What's a ref to do but to call for the bell? It may not be the most satisfying ending, but if WWE doesn't want any of these women to take the fall, it might be the most logical one.

#5 Ronda Rousey returns to screw over Becky Lynch

Time to set the stage for WrestleMania?

Ronda Rousey's future in WWE is still unclear. It's not known if or when she'll ever come back to in ring competition. Many within the company though, including Triple H, believe 'The Baddest Woman on the Planet' will be back sooner or later.

All I know is, it would be a shame if we never got to see Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch in a one on one match up. If there was ever a time for Rousey to make her surprise return, this is it. She and Lynch have unfinished business following their match at WrestleMania 35, and the stars are aligned to reignite that fight.

Becky Lynch is still the RAW Women's Champion, and will be just days away from breaking Rousey's record for longest title reign. Nothing can stop that from happening at Survivor Series, but Rousey's interference could help her fellow MMA Horsewomen member (Baszler) pick up the huge victory for NXT.

It would also set up a number of possibilities, including Rousey getting her RAW Women's Championship rematch. WWE has teased a program with Lynch and the Kabuki Warriors recently, so it's possible that story line gets wrapped up before Rousey returns to have her revenge. Given the history between all parties involved though, the WWE Universe cannot ignore the possibility that Rousey gets involved at Survivor Series.

What do you think? Who's walking away from the Women's triple threat with the big victory?
