WWE is all set to present it's last 'Big Four' pay-per-view of the year as Survivor Series 2020 will take place on November 22, 2020. After last year's massively successful show themed 'RAW vs. NXT vs. SmackDown', the Black and Gold brand of WWE will not be a part of Survivor Series this year.
The build to the pay-per-view hasn't been that great and we haven't seen any typical invasion angle from either RAW or SmackDown, probably due to the COVID-19 restrictions in place. Nonetheless, the match card in itself is good enough for the fans to get excited.
So, to get you ready for the pay-per-view, we present WWE Survivor Series 2020 preview, containing everything you need to know before the show. Be sure to comment down and let us know your predictions for the clash between Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown for brand supremacy.
#8 Men's five-on-five WWE Survivor Series elimination match
Continuing the trend of WWE Survivor Series elimination matches, men's Team RAW will take on Team SmackDown this Sunday. The Red brand has done a decent job at setting up the team and establishing proper storylines between the members for fans to get invested. Unfortunately, the same is not true for SmackDown, whose team has almost been thrown together without any proper build.
Team RAW: AJ Styles, Braun Strowman, Keith Lee, Sheamus, and Riddle
Team SmackDown: Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, King Corbin, and Otis
On paper, Team RAW heads into this match as the favorites at WWE Survivor Series 2020. The only way SmackDown can win this match is if Braun Strowman destroys his own teammates out of anger at the pay-per-view.
An interesting last-minute change could be for Tucker to injure Otis at the pay-per-view and Big E replacing him in Team SmackDown to strengthen the team and possibly emerge as the sole survivor.
#7 Women's five-on-five WWE Survivor Series elimination match
The second traditional five-on-five WWE Survivor Series elimination match will see women of Team RAW take on those from SmackDown. Unlike the men's match, Team SmackDown looks to be the more dominant side in this match at WWE Survivor Series 2020, especially after the addition of former SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley.
Team RAW: Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Lana, Peyton Royce, and Lacey Evans
Team SmackDown: Liv Morgan, Bayley, Ruby Riott, Natalya, and Bianca Belair
An interesting angle to look forward to in this match is how Lana manages to co-exist with Nia Jax in the same team. Jax has been putting Lana through the announcer's table for the last nine weeks and the question is whether we will see that happen once again at WWE Survivor Series 2020? Or could Lana turn the tables in her favor by finally overcoming Nia Jax?
The likes of Bayley and Bianca Belair could end up becoming the sole survivors in this match at WWE Survivor Series 2020. For Team RAW, Shayna Baszler could be a contender for the same, unless WWE throws us all a curveball and makes Lana the sole survivor this Sunday.
#6 Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn takes on United States Champion Bobby Lashley at WWE Survivor Series 2020
Probably the least hyped 'Champion vs. Champion' match on the card of WWE Survivor Series 2020 is the clash between Sami Zayn and Bobby Lashley. The two have previously feuded on RAW but things are different now. Unfortunately, the rumors suggest that Lashley might end up squashing Sami Zayn, which would surely be disappointing.
The chances of The Hurt Business getting involved in this match are very high. Another possible outcome of this match at WWE Survivor Series could see Sami Zayn getting a quick roll-up victory over Lashley, only to get jumped over by The Hurt Business afterward.
#5 The New Day (RAW Tag Team Champions) vs. The Street Profits (SmackDown Tag Team Champions)
WWE Survivor Series 2020 will also feature the Tag Team Champions of both RAW and SmackDown go up against each other. New Day vs. The Street Profits should be a great match by every means and it is tough to predict who would end up winning this.
We have seen The Street Profits have multiple hilarious backstage segments with Big E, trying to get him to help them defeat Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. Speculation going around is that Big E might turn on his New Day brothers and help The Street Profits win.
#4 RAW Women's Champion Asuka clashes with SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks at WWE Survivor Series 2020
Another tough-to-predict clash at WWE Survivor Series will see RAW Women's Champion Asuka go one-on-one against SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks. The two have faced each other a few times this year, but the dynamics are very different now.
Carmella has been targeting Sasha Banks for the last few weeks and she might play a role in the outcome of this match at WWE Survivor Series. But if WWE wants to protect Sasha Banks, she might end up picking a clean victory over Asuka. Another outcome could be Charlotte Flair returning and taking out Asuka to set-up a future clash between the two. Nonetheless, this is a possible 'Match of the Night' contender.
#3 Dual Brand Battle Royal
Just days away from WWE Survivor Series, the company has announced a Dual Brand Battle Royal for the Kickoff Show. With no participants announced so far and nothing at stake, it's pretty tough to care about this match.
But WWE could make an interesting last-minute change by announcing that the winner will get a shot at the world title of their brand. There are quite a few prominent Superstars on both RAW and SmackDown who could benefit from this opportunity.
#2 The Undertaker's Final Farewell at WWE Survivor Series 2020
WWE Survivor Series 2020 will be celebrating The Undertaker's 30th anniversary with the company. It was 30 years ago at the very same pay-per-view when The Undertaker made his debut and has since gone on to become one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time.
It was earlier this year when The Undertaker announced his retirement on the last episode of WWE Network's 'Undertaker: The Last Ride' docuseries. Now, WWE Survivor Series 2020 will feature the Phenom's final farewell. There have been rumors of several legends and WWE Hall of Famers, including Kurt Angle and Kane, returning for this segment.
At the same time, a huge portion of the WWE Universe isn't convinced that this will actually be The Undertaker's final farewell. The speculation is that 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt might end up crashing the party and attack The Phenom, setting up a clash between the two. While that is certainly one of the matches that everyone would love to see, it all depends on whether The Undertaker wants to get back in the ring or not.
#1 WWE Champion Drew McIntyre takes on Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WWE Survivor Series 2020
The likely main event of Survivor Series 2020 will be the mega-clash between the WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and the Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Both McIntyre and Reigns have been absolutely incredible recently and this is surely the biggest match that the company could have given the fans at WWE Survivor Series 2020.
Even with very little time to build-up some storyline, their contract signing segment on SmackDown has got fans all hyped-up for this match at WWE Survivor Series. It is tough to choose any clear winner, but WWE needs to be careful with the booking of this match as neither of the two world champions should end up looking weak.
Fans must also keep in mind that Mr. Money in the Bank The Miz might play spoilsport in this match and attempt a cash-in or end up costing Drew McIntyre the match. The match has the potential to become a Match of the Year contender but we might be in for a shady and non-decisive finish. Who do you think will emerge victorious in this clash between the WWE Champion and the Universal Champion at Survivor Series 2020?
