After the Evolution and Crown Jewel pay-per-view, WWE is steamrolling into one of the biggest events of the year, Survivor Series. The event is known as one of the big four events of WWE along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam.
The event is famous for hosting matches between the two main brands of WWE, Raw, and SmackDown. Each year we witness the champions from both the brands go face to face in a bid to find which brand is the supreme one.
Similarly, this year similar matches will be held between superstars of the two brands which will surely see some fireworks fly. Two of the best matches on the event’s card are the 5-on-5 elimination tag team matches between the teams of both the brands.
Raw and SmackDown select their best to take on their competitors, and we see which brand comes out on top after a long and epic match.
As we’ve seen the possible men’s teams for both Raw and SmackDown, and also the women’s team for Raw for the event, let's take a look at the five women who can possibly make up the strongest team possible for SmackDown Live.
#5 Asuka - Captain
Asuka was part of Team Raw last year and was the most successful wrestler in the elimination match. Not only did she eliminate three superstars from SmackDown in the match, but she was also the last woman standing to win the match for her brand.
Therefore, SmackDown would want to use Asuka as part of their team this year and crown the Japanese wrestler as the captain of their side. This can be done to keep Asuka’s stocks high as they have been falling in recent times and she has been reduced to being a mid-card wrestler.
Making Asuka the captain will increase the value of Team SmackDown and also carry her on as one of the top wrestlers of the brand, keeping her in contention for the title in the future.
It will also make more sense as she was the most successful wrestler in the elimination match last year, and can be shown as SmackDown’s weapon for their struggle for a win this year around.
#4 Naomi
Naomi has been one of the best wrestlers in the WWE for quite some time now. She has proven time and time again why she has been overlooked for quite some time, and even her Women’s Battle Royal victory did not do much to change her fortunes.
Currently, she is a pure babyface seen working with Asuka in tag team action. This has helped both the superstars stay active and in the eyes of the fans while competing on the mid-card. With that said, both the females deserve better from the creatives.
With the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles being teased for some time, Asuka and Naomi’s pairing for the Survivor Series’ match could help keep both of them at the top of the tag team division and this can be worked on for the future once the titles are announced.
Naomi is a former champion and nothing can stand in her path when it comes to proving her worth and talent on the blue brand. She should be a natural selection for SmackDown.
#3 & 2 The IIconics
The IIconics have made somewhat of an impact on SmackDown since their arrival. Even though they haven’t been the best wrestlers on the brands, they have managed to establish themselves as the better heels on the female roster.
Taking from that, it is possible that both the women will get a chance to represent SmackDown Live when the teams are drafted. The reason is as simple as keeping them in the loop as they are the international female stars who surprisingly defeated Asuka and Naomi at Super Showdown.
Their rise was watered down when they were immediately eliminated from the Battle Royal at Evolution, but there is a chance that WWE will continue to use them for high profile matches in order to pull more eyes of themselves from outside the US.
The IIconics’ tag team victory in Australia was a clear sign of that and it could help the company build in the Australian region.
#1 Charlotte Flair
Charlotte has enjoyed a lot of time at the top of the women’s division in the WWE. She has barely ever fallen from grace in the past couple of years and has always been part of high-profile feuds in the WWE.
Her recent rivalry against Becky Lynch saw her fail consecutively after a long period of time, and it can be assumed that she will finally be kept away from the title picture for some time.
If that is the case, then the WWE will want to use her in another high-profile match as she is one of SmackDown’s best draws, and will surely bolster the team when it comes to the Survivor Series match.
Her involvement in the match will not only keep her relevant and in the elite group of superstars in the WWE, but also could provide as a stepping stone for a new rivalry among the wrestlers who will be involved.
SmackDown’s team will require star power to hold them up and also cut good promos for them before the event, and Charlotte can pull off double duty by doing both extremely well.
