This Sunday night, WWE presents the last of this year's 'big 4' PPVs, Survivor Series.
The event will be built around Raw vs SmackDown rivalry, with the brands' champions facing off against one another, and several traditional Survivor Series bouts taking place to determine which brand is superior.
In what will presumably be the night's main-event, 5 male SmackDown superstars will take on 5 male members of the Raw roster, with each brand's authority figures being present.
These matches, which have become a staple of the show over the last two years, are renowned for having a number of twists and turns and are often one of the most anticipated bouts of the evening.
This year's match, despite only having two weeks build, is no different, and there are several interesting scenarios which could take place during the encounter.
With that in mind, let's take a look at 5 twists we could see in the men's traditional Survivor Series match this Sunday night.
#5 AJ Styles finds his way onto Team SmackDown
AJ Styles' surprising loss at the hands of Daniel Bryan on this week's SmackDown Live leaves the former WWE Champion with nothing to do at Survivor Series.
Styles has been a staple of WWE PPVs since making his debut for the company back in 2016, and it seems highly unlikely that The Phenomenal One won't make some sort of appearance on Sunday night.
There are a number of ways Styles could earn himself a place on Team SmackDown, the most obvious of which is a member being taken out before the match starts, forcing Paige and Shane McMahon to find a replacement.
Given Randy Orton's tendencies to attack Rey Mysterio in recent weeks, having The Viper attack his nemesis before the big match shouldn't be ruled out.
There is also the possibility that an enraged Styles goes on a rampage himself and forces McMahon to place him on the team.
#4 Bray Wyatt makes an appearance to help Team Raw
It wouldn't be a WWE PPV if there wasn't some sort of speculation about Bray Wyatt making a return at the event.
The former WWE Champion has only been out of action for three months and the rumor mill is already abuzz with potential return dates.
It's been quite some time since Wyatt made one of his totally random mid-match appearances and having him do just that towards the end of the match on Sunday night could go a long way in helping establish him as one of the more interesting stars on the roster again.
#3 Randy Orton costs Team SmackDown
Randy Orton's recent heel turn has worked wonders for his career, and it's quite the surprise that he has been left off Team SmackDown at Survivor Series, especially given his history at the event.
Of course, as we've already discovered, there is every chance the WWE will pull off a last minute change to the match and have Orton replace Rey Mysterio or Jeff Hardy.
Presuming that doesn't happen, however, it seems highly likely that Orton will still make an appearance at the event, with Rey Mysterio his most likely target on the night.
Orton is a man operating without motive and because of that, there is every chance that he won't care about costing SmackDown the big match if it means he can take another shot at Rey Mysterio.
#2 Kurt Angle helps Team Raw
2018 has been the year of the heel turn in the WWE. From Shinsuke Nakamura to Daniel Bryan, fans have had to witness some of their most beloved babyfaces turn their back on them over the past 12 months, and there is plenty to suggest we may see another one or two before the year is out.
One that would be a total surprise on Sunday night would be Kurt Angle. The former Raw GM is having a bit of a hard time at the moment, and after getting squashed by Drew McIntyre on Raw, finds himself at a bit of a loose end.
As a result of all this, Angle could decide to adopt a 'if you can't beat them, join them' approach and help Team Raw to victory on Sunday night.
This could also set up a potential feud between Shane McMahon and Kurt Angle in the coming months, culminating in a showdown between the two men at WrestleMania 35.
#1 Baron Corbin costs Team Raw
Baron Corbin finds himself in an incredibly tricky situation on Sunday night. If Team Raw wins the match, he then has to face Braun Strowman in a stipulation of Strowman's choosing, whereas if they lose the match, he has to face the wrath of Stephanie McMahon and lose his position as Constable/GM of Raw. Basically, Corbin is screwed either way.
So there is every chance that Corbin decides disobeying Stephanie McMahon is better than anything Braun Strowman may have in store for him and strikes himself a deal with Shane McMahon.
This could set up a longer storyline for Strowman and Corbin, with The Monster Among Men finally getting his hands on Corbin at Mania. It could also help SmackDown neutralise one of the biggest threats on Sunday night in the form of Braun Strowman.
