Survivor Series is only two weeks away, and it's that time of the year where the different brands of WWE collide to determine brand supremacy. This year, NXT will also be a part of the PPV, unlike the past, and it only makes things even more intriguing.

Seth Rollins, the former Universal Champion, was revealed as the captain of the RAW men's team. Recently, he has been facing a dilemma as HHH came over to invite him to NXT. Though he hasn't joined them yet, he may very well turn heel during the match at Survivor Series.

However, before all that, he has to pick four other wrestlers from RAW to be on his team for the PPV. There are quite a few talented wrestlers who are competing for those spots, and they will be revealed on next week's RAW.

With that said, we examine a few wrestlers who could end up on Team RAW.


#5 Andrade

Out of all Superstars on RAW, Andrade is one of the guys, who desperately needs a star-making performance soon. Despite being very talented in the ring and willing to work on his mic skills, he's not done anything worth mentioning on the main roster. He often gets inconsistent pushes that leave him worse than before and kills any little momentum that he already has.

However, that may begin to change soon. RAW drafted him during the recent WWE Draft, and ever since that, he has emerged victorious four weeks in a row. It might just be a way to build him up a little before throwing him into the RAW men's team.

If they see a star in him, he will have a great performance at Survivor Series, which could eventually push him into the title scene. A feud between AJ Styles and Andrade will be a must-watch for fans and could lead to the latter's first main roster title.

#4 Randy Orton

Randy Orton has settled well in his role as the veteran who helps and puts younger Superstars over. For quite some time, he has been happy with putting others over as he has pretty much done it all in WWE. A few months ago, Kofi Kingston emerged victorious in his feud against The Viper for the WWE Championship.

Orton joined Ric Flair as part of Team Flair to face Team Hogan at Crown Jewel, where he suffered a defeat. Last week, he penned down a new contract with WWE amidst rumors of his interest in AEW. So, it looks like he may be a part of RAW feuding with the next generation of wrestlers.

He attacked Ricochet during the latter's match against Drew McIntyre, which may be a sign of an impending feud between the two. If said feud does happen, expect both Ricochet and Orton to be put on RAW's men's team at Survivor Series. Their differences could cost the team and set the stage for a future feud.

#3 Kevin Owens

WWE has failed to utilize Kevin Owens properly over the last month. He feuded with Shane McMahon on SmackDown before firing him after a ladder match, which gave him a ton of momentum going into the WWE Draft, where he moved to RAW. Fans expected the hot run to continue, but so far, it has been far from satisfactory.

He helped the Street Profits secure a win by attacking AJ Styles on RAW, which indicated that the two men would feud. However, there hasn't been any mention of that ever since that night, and WWE may have dropped the idea. It's a bummer because Owens was on fire, and now he may lose some of that momentum.

If said feud isn't the plan, it's best to put Owens in the RAW men's team for Survivor Series. It's hard to include him in any other match as the card will already be stacked. Owens can have a good showing at the PPV, after which he can focus his attention back on AJ Styles.

#2 Ricochet

Ricochet is one of the brightest young talents in all of WWE and a fan favorite. There may be quite a few high flyers in WWE, but he stands out and has constantly stunned the WWE Universe. A few months ago, it was rumored that Paul Heyman loves Ricochet and wants to push him on RAW. However, that hasn't happened yet as he is getting stale without engaging storylines.

After emerging victorious at Crown Jewel 2019, fans expected him to carry on that momentum. Two weeks ago on Raw, he wrestled Drew McIntyre but faced the wrath of Randy Orton, who hit him with the RKO. As said in the earlier slides, this indicates that Orton and Ricochet will engage in a feud for the next few weeks.

Things can finally escalate if both men are on Team RAW at Survivor Series. After the PPV, they can feud, and Ricochet has a lot to gain from it as a few victories over Orton can put him right back into the title picture.

#1 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre was penciled in by fans to be the major heel of RAW after he made moved up from NXT. But he has mostly taken the role of a bodyguard for wrestlers like Dolph Ziggler and Shane McMahon instead of being a dominant force. It's unfortunate as he's a hard worker who has all the potential in the world.

Drew came back from injury recently and was drafted to RAW during the WWE Draft. As part of Team Flair, he suffered a loss at Crown Jewel 2019 to Team Hogan and has generally been at a struggle to find his rhythm. At this point, one may wonder if creative doesn't have anything planned for him going forward.

However, things could very well change at Survivor Series 2019. He needs to be on RAW's men's team, and a great showing at the PPV can kickstart his ascent. Fans may remember Braun Strowman's dominant display at last year's Survivor Series, where he had four eliminations. McIntyre desperately needs to have a similar performance this time around.
