For the 38th time, WWE Survivor Series will take place.
Giving the long-standing show a shot of energy, the show now features Men’s and Women’s WarGames matches as part of the Premium Live Event. Much like the 2022 event, The Bloodline will step inside the cage to take down long-term rivals, this time the new iteration of The Bloodline that was created by Solo Sikoa in Roman Reigns’s absence. While it appeared that Seth Rollins was going to team with Reigns and co, the November 22nd SmackDown saw the shock return of Paul Heyman and CM Punk, who was revealed to be the final member.
In other matches announced, Damian Priest will get a rematch against World Heavyweight Champion Gunther.
WWE Survivor Series Predictions
Gunther (c) vs. Damian Priest – Singles Match For The World Heavyweight Championship
Much like the rivalry with Randy Orton earlier in the year, Gunther is looking to prove that he can defeat Priest without the interference from The Judgment Day. Although Priest feels that he has the edge over Gunther given that The Ring General lost to Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel, this will be another retention for the champion.
Winner: Gunther
LA Knight (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura – Singles Match For The United States Championship
Although this is Nakamura’s return match and first televised match in more than 6 months, it’s unlikely that a title will change hands here. Nakamura has had the advantage on TV but Knight will remain the champion when all is said and done at Survivor Series.
Winner: LA Knight
Bron Breakker (c) vs. Sheamus vs. Ludwig Kaiser – Triple Threat Match For The Intercontinental Championship
In what could steal the show, this match will be fast-paced, hard-hitting and unlikely to be anything less than full-on from the opening bell. Although Sheamus will not stop until he wins the title, it’s unlikely that this will be his night. With Breakker still in the early stages of his title reign and with a lot more to accomplish, expect the champion to retain and emerge victorious from a path of destruction.
Winner: Bron Breakker
Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Candice LeRae, Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax vs. Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Bayley, Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley – Women’s WarGames Match
Unlike the men’s match, this one feels unnecessarily thrown together and with no stakes. While there will be a few cool spots here and there and it’s great to see 10 women featured on the card, this will be forgotten in a few months time. Sky could pin Morgan as Sky is the number one contender for the championship and Tiffany Stratton could cash in her Money in the Bank contract, but it is likely the heel team will win this one given the results of the other match.
Winners: Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Candice LeRae, Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax
Roman Reigns, The Usos, Sami Zayn and CM Punk vs. Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu and Bronson Reed
As Sikoa pinned Reigns at Crown Jewel and this feels like the end of a significant chapter in The Bloodline Saga, team Reigns is likely to win this one. The returns of Paul Heyman and CM Punk give the babyface team the edge and team OG Bloodline are also at a disadvantage given the powerhouses of Fatu and Reed. With The Rock expected back soon, perhaps at this show, this will be another night where Reigns and co stand tall.
Winners: Roman Reigns, The Usos, Sami Zayn and CM Punk
