Top 5 picks for the Raw women's team | WWE Survivor Series 2018

WWE Survivor Series is right around the corner, and will be a breath of fresh air after the all women Evolution pay-per-view and the all men Crown Jewel.

Known as one of the big four events in the WWE, Survivor Series is definitely one of the most anticipated pay-per-views of the year. The reason is simple, we get to watch the best wrestlers of both brands go head to head in traditional matches, which cannot be experienced the entire year round.

With that said, the champions of both brands face each other for one night only to determine who the best is. Apart from that, we usually see the best tag factions of both brands face each other like The Shield faced The New Day in the 2017 edition, and then we are treated to a 5-on-5 elimination tag-team match which usually steals the show.

The elimination tag team match is staged for both male and female wrestlers, and the teams are comprised of the best remaining wrestlers on each brand’s roster. It is made of both heels and faces who work together to bring supremacy to their respective brands.

As the event draws close, lets take a look at which five women could make up the list of team Raw.

#5 Nia Jax – Captain

Nia Jax has been the most dominating woman on the Raw roster for quite some time now. Injuries have caused her a few missed chances, but she keeps coming back better and stronger.

Nia Jax won the Battle Royal at Evolution 2018 to become the number 1 contender for the Raw Women’s Championship currently held by Ronda Rousey. This has given her yet another boost as she was struggling to make an impact after returning from injury recently.

As the number 1 contender for the top women’s prize on the brand, Nia deserves to be the leader of team Raw in order to be seen as the force she is.

She could be built from then on to seem like the first major threat Ronda Rousey will face, as their previous bout wasn’t the best for both superstars.

Nia could easily lead the Raw women’s team as the previous face of the women’s division, and stamp her authority on the entire WWE women’s division.

#4 Tamina

Tamina's return has strengthened the Raw roster

Tamina’s return has also bolstered the women’s division. The second Samoan on the roster has been facing off with Nia Jax quite frequently, and the stare offs are signalling something to come. Could that signal a pairing of the two most dominant women in the near future?

If that will be the case, Tamina and Nia would prove to be the most powerful women in the ring at Survivor Series, and Raw could use that as a big plus point.

Since Tamina returned to Raw as a heel, it is also possible that this match could prove to be the cornerstone of her rivalry with Nia Jax, which could unfold in the future as she also sets her eyes on the championship.

Regardless of whatever may be, there is little doubt that Tamina will be a part of Team Raw, as the WWE will try to build her up as soon as possible, to cement her as a top heel.

#3 Ember Moon

Ember Moon is a must when it comes to these types of matches. She is one of NXT’s best exports, and has worked extremely well in tag-team action.

The former NXT Women’s Champion has sure made a mark on Monday Nights, and therefore she will be a starter for Team Raw come Survivor series. The high-flyer has some of the best moves in the WWE, and she is destined for great things on the Raw roster.

In order to build her up for the future and book her better, the WWE will need to use her well in high-profile matches, and this will be one of the best chances they’ll get. She did extremely well in the Battle Royal at Evolution, and could do same at Survivor Series to get into the good books of fans and the creative.

Sadly Moon isn’t part of any real feuds at the moment, but has been doing extremely well in the MMC alongside Braun Strowman. Carrying on that form, she could do equally well in the 5-on-5 elimination match, if not better.

#2 Bayley

The Hugger has been one of Raw’s top draws for quite some time. Since her induction into the main roster, Bayley has been used in some high-profile matches by the WWE, and could be used again in the Survivor Series match just like last year.

Bayley has the experience and talent to work long and unforgiving matches, and that is exactly what is required for such matches. Her never die attitude will help Team Raw succeed once again at one of the biggest matches of the year.

She is a pure babyface, and she could be used to balance the team out, while providing the versatility required to make such matches successful.

She’s done some great work in tag-team matches in the past, and with the WWE teasing tag-team championships for women in the future, the match with Bayley’s inclusion could show how women’s tag teams could take the company by storm.

#1 Sasha Banks

Sasha should definitely be a part of the event

Last but not least, The Boss’ inclusion is absolutely necessary when it comes to high-profile matches in top events.

Sasha Banks has been known to be one of Raw’s best female draws, and she has been used quite well by the creative when the need has arisen. Survivor Series could see her be a part of Team Raw, as they try to take on Team SmackDown in a battle for supremacy.

Sasha has been one of Raw’s best performers in the past few years, and they have relied on her in the past to make women’s matches successful by teaming her up with other superstars, and bolstering their popularity as well.

Survivor Series could see the same, as Sasha is one of the toughest women on the Raw roster, and therefore her inclusion in Team Raw will almost immediately increase the overall strength of the team.
