WWE Survivor Series 2020 - 5 major betrayals that could happen during the show

This team could essentially implode from within at Survivor Series

Let us define what a betrayal at WWE Survivor Series 2020 essentially means before we commence with this article. From what we understand, WWE Survivor Series 2020 will be a platform where brand warfare takes center stage, where RAW battles SmackDown.

So, for a RAW Superstar to cost another RAW star his/her victory counts as a betrayal and so does a SmackDown star similarly costing his teammate a victory. And with that established, let us look at the 5 likeliest (and in a sense, unexpected) betrayals that could happen during the course of WWE Survivor Series 2020.


#5 Keith Lee and Braun Strowman renew their rivalry at WWE Survivor Series 2020, and both men get eliminated

Keith Lee and Braun Strowman have been at odds for some time now, but they have been forced to coexist for the sake of the WWE Survivor Series 2020 team.

However, when you place two such volatile components next to one another, chances are that they will come to blows. And so when Braun Strowman is on the verge of eliminating a competitor, Keith Lee could renew his rivalry by betraying him or vice versa. Such a decision at WWE Survivor Series 2020 makes a lot of sense.

When you have a monster in your team, he usually runs through the competition, but when you have two big men eliminating one another, it opens the door for the others in the competition to gain the upper hand.

This betrayal is so early in this list because an implosion in such a team is not just a probability but almost a certainty based on how the build has led up to WWE Survivor Series 2020, and the two men could certainly come to blows as a result.

#4 Jey Uso and Kevin Owens start fighting among themselves at WWE Survivor Series 2020 at the cost of their team

Jey Uso and Kevin Owens don't like one another but they're both a part of the SmackDown squad at WWE Survivor Series 2020, where they will battle with RAW for brand supremacy, in a super-heated contest this weekend.

Jey Uso has a new attitude since his alliance with Roman Reigns and the fact that he picked up a victory over Kevin Owens with a low blow will not go down well with the Canadian, who will want to inflict punishment on his teammate at WWE Survivor Series 2020.

Kevin Owens may very well enter the WWE Universal Championship picture after WWE Survivor Series 2020 and therefore it may make sense for Kevin Owens and Jey Uso to come to blows during the match, which could get one of the two men eliminated, making neither look weak in the process.

Could the final man in the Survivor Series squad be Daniel Bryan, another man who has a bone to pick with Jey Uso?

#3 Miz and Morrison interfere in the Universal Champion vs. WWE Champion match at WWE Survivor Series 2020 so that Miz can cash in

The Miz is not scheduled to be a part of the proceedings at WWE Survivor Series 2020, but he could certainly show up during the match between Randy Orton and Roman Reigns. When the WWE Champion takes on the Universal Champion at WWE Survivor Series 2020, The Miz could show up and cash in his contract.

If The Miz does leave WWE Survivor Series 2020 as the new WWE Champion, it will be the ultimate betrayal to his brand which is Monday Night RAW. One can imagine how annoyed Adam Pearce will be the night after WWE Survivor Series 2020, and one can also, by extension, imagine just how angry the locker room will be at the brand new WWE Champion and his trusty cohort John Morison.

Let's face it. If you had to name someone most capable of a betrayal, The Miz would most definitely top the list, wouldn't he?

#2 Lana costs Nia Jax by getting her eliminated from the WWE RAW team at WWE Survivor Series 2020

There are only so many times one gets bullied before she retaliates and looks for redemption. This could be the story that WWE is telling with Lana, who could take her revenge against Nia Jax by betraying her during the RAW vs. SmackDown Women's match at WWE Survivor Series 2020. And if this happens, Lana and another partner (maybe Naomi, maybe Nikki Cross) could challenge for the Women's Tag Team Championships after WWE Survivor Series 2020.

In fact, WWE Survivor Series 2020, while a great device to showcase brand warfare, is also a great medium to start new feuds within the RAW or SmackDown brand, as this article may have proved already.

One has to remember that WWE Survivor Series 2020 will be done and dusted midway through this month but at the same time, it's business as usual the night after, when RAW rolls around. And, so it's mandatory that feuds are set up at the event.

#1 Big E betrays The New Day at WWE Survivor Series 2020 to help The Street Profits win

When Sportskeeda had a chance to catch up with Big E prior to WWE Survivor Series 2020, he was asked whether he'd support his boys, The New Day, or The Street Profits from SmackDown when they go to war at the pay-per-view.

Big E's response made it very clear where his loyalties would lie come WWE Survivor Series 2020:

Look, I…that’s an easy question. I know during Survivor Series, we’re supposed to be very ‘pro brand’ and yaay, our brand. But the love for Kofi and Woods easily supersedes the love for the brand. So, I got to go with Kofi and Woods. That’s a no-brainer. Kofi and Woods all day. Love The Street Profits. Respect The Street Profits. What they do is incredible in the ring. They are just this force of entertainment. But, easily Kofi and Woods

So, in a more classic twist than the ones we've mentioned thus far, could Big E stunningly turn on The New Day at WWE Survivor Series 2020?

Could Big E finally go heel to dominate the SmackDown brand?
