#5 The Undertaker's Final Farewell at WWE Survivor Series 2020 is just a ceremony
The Undertaker's Final Farewell ceremony at WWE Survivor Series 2020 seems like it'll be the setup for The Fiend to crash the party and have another feud with The Phenom, perhaps the last one before The Undertaker hangs up his boots. It will give The Undertaker a chance to perhaps have a show in front of a live audience at WrestleMania, and pass the torch to someone deserving like The Fiend.
And so, as the legends pour in to pay tribute to The Undertaker, maybe Alexa Bliss could join the fray too, followed by The Fiend, who applies the mandible claw to The Undertaker.
Even if this does not happen and it's your regular ceremony at WWE Survivor Series 2020, it will still be a very emotional affair indeed, especially considering The Undertaker has pulled back the curtain and showed the man behind the gimmick to us. But despite that, fans may feel underwhelmed if they're deprived of this exciting segment.
#4 A clean sweep by either RAW or SmackDown at WWE Survivor Series 2020
Unlike the war between WWE and WCW in the 90s or even the war between NXT and AEW at present, there are few that believe that RAW and SmackDown are really at war. To showcase that there is a semblance of war, this has to be a closely-contested card at WWE Survivor Series 2020, where RAW and SmackDown pick up one win after the other, until the end.
No titles are on the line from either the RAW or the SmackDown brand at WWE Survivor Series 2020, because brand pride is on the line, and honestly, that already takes the audience out of it to a certain degree, but to see a closely contested fight between the two brands would draw one back in.
RAW's embarrassing loss last time around was the reason for Seth Rollins to snap at the brand, and yes, a storyline reason for a clean sweep is always welcome.
But to keep the audience invested in both RAW and SmackDown, it should be a more evenly fought contest, honestly.
#3 Having Roman Reigns from SmackDown pinned by Drew McIntyre from RAW at WWE Survivor Series 2020
Once you're done reading this article, do check out Sportskeeda's exclusive interview with the new WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre from the RAW brand as he talks about a variety of subjects ahead of his match at WWE Survivor Series 2020, including his clash with SmackDown Superstar Roman Reigns.
Make no mistake about it. Drew McIntyre is definitely the top babyface on the RAW brand, and the fact that he is protected so heavily is absolutely well-deserved based on what a formidable WWE Champion he seems to be, how well he's steered the ship during the pandemic; but we've already seen him take a pin to Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell.
The mystique of Roman Reigns from SmackDown is still very much intact, and to see him pinned by Drew McIntyre at WWE Survivor Series 2020 would just dilute and diminish his brand. And in this case at least, in the main event spot, it should be Roman Reigns that picks up a win and pins the RAW Superstar down for a three count after delivering a vicious Spear.
#2 Asuka, WWE RAW Women's Champion, suffers a big loss to Sasha Banks at WWE Survivor Series 2020 (with one major exception)
Sasha Banks can afford to take a loss at WWE Survivor Series 2020 and she will be fine, because she's in a feud with not one but two legitimate contenders, in Carmella and Bayley. At the same time, Asuka, the WWE RAW Women's Champion, is not currently in any sort of program at the moment. Much like Hikaru Shida in AEW, the RAW Women's Champion just seems to be in a league of her own, far above the rest of the women on the Red brand.
And that is why, Asuka should, under no circumstances lose to Sasha Banks at WWE Survivor Series 2020 and should be the one to make The Boss tap out. Maybe Bayley or Carmella could interfere to make The Boss look strong. There's only one circumstance under which the WWE RAW Women's Champion could suffer a loss.
Maybe Charlotte Flair could return to cost Asuka her match and set up a feud for the weeks and the months that follow.
#1 Big E not being involved in some manner at WWE Survivor Series 2020 in The New Day vs. Street Profits match
The segments between Big E and The Street Profits leading up to WWE Survivor Series 2020 have been really entertaining, and why could they not considering how entertaining all of the three men are. At WWE Survivor Series 2020, he faces the task of choosing between his boys, The New Day, and his brand in The Street Profits.
While speaking to Sportskeeda, Big E made his allegiance clear:
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.
Big E needs to be a part of the outcome of the match in some manner, either helping The New Day win or turning on The New Day to allow The Street Profits to.
And then, the rivalry could continue on WWE SmackDown after WWE Survivor Series 2020 is done and dusted.
