After just two weeks of build, the WWE presents their 33rd annual Survivor Series event this Sunday night.
Like the previous two years, the company has opted to give this year's show a Raw Vs SmackDown theme, with the champions from each brand going head to head throughout the night, and several traditional Survivor Series matches taking place as well.
Oddly enough, just as last year's show did, this year's event has undergone several changes late in the day, with Becky Lynch being replaced in her match with Ronda Rousey by Charlotte Flair, and Daniel Bryan defeating AJ Styles for the WWE title on SmackDown, taking his place at Survivor Series in the process.
In the space of just a few shorts days, Survivor Series has become one of the most interesting WWE cards of the year. With that in mind, let's take a look through the card and predict exactly how each match is going to come to an end.
Buddy Murphy wins clean
Unfortunately for both Buddy Murphy and Mustafa Ali, this match is almost certainly going to get bumped to the pre-show.
The two men have both had exceptional years in 2018, and a bit of time on one of the most anticipated cards of the year would have been a fair reward for all their hard work.
Regardless of when the match takes place, the two men will no doubt put on an excellent show, with Ali likely to come up short despite his best efforts.
Murphy may be the heel here but he is far from the cowardly type, and it seems unlikely that he will cheat his way to victory on Sunday night.
The New Days survive to get things off to a positive start
Survivor Series has all the potential to be one of the best PPVs of 2018, and getting things off to a positive start is essential.
Last year's show had one of the best opening matches in recent memory when The Shield took on The New Day, and while the tag-team Survivor Series match at this year's event is not likely to live up to that, it still has the potential to be a fun encounter.
Of all the matches on the card, this one is the most inconsequential, so the WWE should use it as an opportunity to get in an early feel-good moment and give The New Day the victory for Team SmackDown. A New Day Vs B-Team final showdown could prove to be a lot of fun and could also set a fun tone for the rest of the night.
AOP pick up the victory after some shenanigans
The match between AOP and The Bar has all the potential to steal the show on Sunday night. The two teams are among the best tag-teams in the WWE right now, and their first-time encounter has plenty of promise.
That being said, the WWE can't resist adding comedy to some encounters, and the idea of The Big Show chasing Drave Maverick around at ringside is the definitely the kind of thing that Vince McMahon is likely to find amusing.
Is that does happen, then expect that to create a big enough distraction to allow The Authors of Pain to pick up their biggest win on the main roster to date?
Dean Ambrose costs Seth Rollins against Shinsuke Nakamura
Of all the likely twists we could see on Sunday night, Dean Ambrose costing Seth Rollins his match against Shinsuke Nakamura is by far the most obvious one.
The former Shield brethren are locked into one of the most personal and intense feuds on the roster at the moment, and given Ambrose's penchant for sneak attacks, you can expect him to blindside Rollins once again at Survivor Series.
The match itself has tons of potential, and a victory could really help Shinsuke Nakamura get back on the right track following what have been a very disappointing few months as United States Champion.
Nia Jax and Tamina Snuka survive
There are a number of ways the Women's Survivor Series match can go down, but in the absence of Charlotte Flair, the odds are now clearly stacked against the SmackDown team.
The most logical conclusion to the match is for Tamina Snuka and Nia Jax to be standing tall at the end of the encounter. The two women are not only a newly formed unit, but Jax also has a guaranteed title shot against Ronda Rousey to use, presumably at TLC, and the WWE will want her heading into that match with as much momentum as possible.
Booked correctly, a defiant Asuka being overcome by Jax and Tamina in the final stretch could make all three women look strong.
Shane McMahon and The Miz survive
Like last year's Raw Vs SmackDown match, there are so many factors in place for this year's brand warfare main-event that fans should prepare for the unexpected on Sunday night.
The biggest stumbling block, if SmackDown are to win the match, will be how the WWE books Drew McIntyre, who is still undefeated since stepping up to the main roster. The best way around this may be Strowman and McIntyre coming to blows and eliminating one another as a result of a count-out or a double DQ. This keeps McIntyre looking strong and also continues their mini-feud as well.
However this match plays out, one thing is for sure, Shane McMahon will be involved in the finish. The newly crowned 'Best in the World' is going to be heavily involved in SmackDown's major storylines on the road to WrestleMania and that will likely all start on Sunday night.
Perhaps the most likely outcome is Kurt Angle coming down and costing Team Raw the match, giving Shane McMahon's team the victory. The Miz would also benefit from being the brand's other sole survivor given that his arch-nemesis, Daniel Bryan, is now the WWE Champion.
Horsewomen, unite!
Admittedly, this one is more in hope than expectation. The late change from Becky Lynch to Charlotte Flair has presumably thrown the WWE's original plans for this matchup in the air, but that doesn't mean that the company can't salvage an interesting angle out of this bout.
With Shayna Baszler, Marina Shafir, and Jessamyn Duke all presumably being in the same city as the main-roster because of Takeover, the WWE could use the opportunity to set up the long-awaited Horsewomen of NXT Vs Horsewomen of MMA match at the event.
The fact that Becky Lynch and Charlotte shared a brief and reluctant hug on SmackDown indicates that there is a mutual respect between the women, and if Baszler, Duke and Shafir decide to get involved to help out Rousey at Survivor Series, then we could see Lynch, Banks and Bayley come down to help out Flair.
This could see the match go to a no-decision, which would protect both women and also set up a future eight-women tag-team match later down the line.
Daniel Bryan... a Paul Heyman guy
The decision to have Daniel Bryan defeat AJ Styles for the WWE title on this week's SmackDown Live was one of the biggest surprises of 2018.
What made Bryan's title victory even more surprising, though, was the fact that the former SmackDown GM also turned heel to win the belt.
There are a number of potential reasons why the WWE made this decision, with the idea that they didn't want to book AJ Styles to lose to Brock Lesnar two years in a row being one of the most popular.
One other option that has been suggested by some people, is that Daniel Bryan and Paul Heyman are now working in cahoots with one another.
If that is the case, then we could see Paul Heyman finally turn on his client, just as he did with The Big Show at Survivor Series sixteen years ago.
WWE having Bryan win would certainly be a bold choice, but it would supply the night with a massive shock and would establish Daniel Bryan as the cleverest heel in the business. Of course, there is always the option of an enraged Braun Strowman coming after Lesnar for revenge and helping Bryan on the way to the biggest win of his career as well.
