Survivor Series has only a few matches this year, so I'm really hoping for some more random nonsense to be thrown on during the broadcast. Clearly some sort of midcard elimination match could be made with Bo Dallas (Wait, is he injured?), Adam Rose, Cesaro, Curtis Axel, Sin Cara, Heath Slater, Titus O'Neil and the other usuals. Though the five matches planned are full of more than the usual amount of wrestlers, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, Sheamus and probably other usuals are all off the card with injuries and other reasons. So this might actually stay this way somehow. Is it weird that there might be more divas on here than "superstars"? Okay, there aren't but the fact that the numbers are so close kind of has me worried. Onto the predictions and such!
Natalya & Naomi & Emma & Alicia Fox vs. Paige & Cameron & Summer Rae & Layla (Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match)
If you're wondering why this match is happening you are not alone. It doesn't even have that "Total Divas" vs. non-Total Divas gimmick we're used to seeing on Raw every other week. Also, if you put me on the spot I'd say that Alicia Fox was supposed to be on the heel team and maybe Summer Rae or Layla would be on the face side depending upon Paige's mood.
So let's get the diva fodder out of the way first. Layla, Summer Rae and Cameron will ultimately leave Paige by herself. Alicia Fox and Naomi will be eliminated as well, but the two on one advantage of Natalya and Emma vs. Paige will give them the win. Paige will go off and feud with Emma, which will hopefully bring Emma back in a way that wasn't as awkward as when she was Santino's sister/girlfriend and Natalya will go back by the side of Tyson Kidd. Besides, Paige needs a feud to build herself back up before going for the Divas Title again, which leads us to...
A.J. Lee (Divas Champion) vs. Nikki Bella (Divas Championship Match)
Rumor has it Mrs. CM Punk is on her way out of the company. Rumor also has it that I really don't care. You know, Sara Del Ray is training the divas down in NXT and everyone says how great they are and really though, I just cannot get invested in any of the divas. Not a single one. I've seen the NXT matches and I still don't care. They're all a waste of time because WWE treats them as such. Should one or two happen to have a meaningful feud and some character development and things could change but right now the divas division in WWE is still lost so whether or not A.J. stays or goes doesn't matter.
In either case, I see A.J. dropping the title simply so we can have Nikki win it and then since Bree will no longer be her servant or whatever (Really, WWE? A slavery angle? Whatever) they can feud over it. When the forces of good triumph (Based on this match i'm assuming Nikki is the evil twin but I really I don't care) and Brie eventually wins the title from Nikki then she can go on to feud with Paige and, yeah, I just wrote WWE's diva plans up until Wrestlemania maybe. Or next month's PPV depending upon how quickly they wish to move.
Goldust & Stardust (Tag Team Champions) vs. The Usos vs. The Miz & Damien Mizdow vs. Los Matadores (Tag Team Championship Match)
This could have been more effective as a traditional elimination Survivor Series match if they put The Usos with Los Matadores and El Torito and then the tag champs with The Miz, Damien Sandow and Hornswoggle, but who am I to book these things? (Besides, someone like one of Los Matadores eliminating Goldust could make for a more interesting follow up than this) So what do we do here? Will this finally be the year that Goldust and Cody Rhodes get their singles match at Wrestlemania? Probably not. But I don't see them keeping the titles here for whatever reason either. The Usos have little to gain by winning and I don't think WWE is ready to put the titles on Los Matadores either, even though I think it could work on some level. (I'd actually like to see a team like Los Matadores have the tag titles when The Acension debut on the main roster and feud with them for it) This only leaves us with hopefully the best option, which is The Miz and Damien Sandow winning the tag team titles, with Miz eventually turning on Sandow as he steals the spotlight from him.
Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt
When Bray Wyatt first attacked Dean Ambrose everyone was wondering why, but apparently Michael Cole forgot about how The Shield and Wyatt Family used to, you know, not get along too well. This is a cool match because neither man seems to have anything to lose (Both in a storyline and actual sense) but let's face it, at Survivor Series, this is not going to end well. No, wait, I mean this is not going to end at all. This feud will most definitely carry on to next month. Heck, these two might even eliminate each other in the Royal Rumble. There are no clear plans for either at Wrestlemania, so why not have this feud somehow extend until then? Okay, that's really not likely, but until I can come up with a better idea for either of these guys for Wrestlemania, the show must go on! (They could do something unexpected at Wrestlemania, like an "I Quit" match to make it special)
John Cena / Dolph Ziggler / Big Show / Ryback / Erick Rowan vs. Seth Rollins / Kane / Mark Henry / Rusev / Luke Harper
When this match had The Authority losing their power on the line it was interesting to see what might happen. Then they added a stipulation, which was first revealed as being Team Cena being fired if they lost. But now it is more accurately said that if Team Cena loses, the entire team will be fired... except for John Cena. Could we really see such a dominant reign for The Authority that John Cena loses all of his friends and the bad guys stay in power? I do like this scenario better than The Authority just disbanding and, well, we need to seemingly keep the heel faction alive until good can triumph over evil at Wrestlemania.
I assume John Cena cannot be fired because he is still the number one contender to face Brock Lesnar, but from now until Wrestlemania we have some planning to do so here's how it can go down. Ziggler, Show, Ryback and Rowan can all fight for their jobs in whatever ways they want to and maybe they can even have some stipulation where Roman Reigns fights Seth Rollins and if Reigns wins they get their jobs back. Roman Reigns, now more than ever, needs to be our Superman.
I'm not sure who will eliminate who here, but the idea of it being down to John Cena and Seth Rollins at the end makes perfect sense at it will build to the stress of Cena having to overcome the odds to save his friends' jobs. This could very easily see the return of Brock Lesnar, F5 and Cena is eliminated. Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman will align themselves with The Authority. Roman Reigns will return and run through The Authority before winning the Royal Rumble and we have Reigns/Lesnar at Wrestlemania. John Cena loses his mojo and soon forgets about it so he ends up in a dream match at Wrestlemania against Hulk Hogan. The only question is whether or not Seth Rollins cashes in the briefcase at Wrestlemania and ruins Roman Reigns' moment or not.
