Which is the better brand? Is it Raw? Is it Smackdown? Tonight we will find out. Here are our predictions and prognostications for Survivor Series 2021.

Male Team Raw vs Team Smackdown

Remember when the 5-on-5 traditional Survivor Series elimination match felt special?  Many would say the change happened when they started having championship matches at Survivor Series, but in my mind the shift was when they went for having a babyface team versus a heel team to Team RAW versus Team SmackDown.  After all who cares whether a RAW or SmackDown team wins the match?  It’s meaningless.  When it was a babyface team versus a heel team it allowed for a continuation of storylines, betrayals, turns, and some genuine surprises.  The way each of the Team RAW and Team SmackDown rosters are constructed it is almost certain that the heels will stab their babyface teammates in the back at some point and that makes the affair pretty boring.  Being SmackDown is now presented as WWE’s number 1 program they will almost certainly win and the survivors will probably be McIntyre and King Woods.

Team Raw seems to be the stronger team by far. Unless there is some kind of inner turmoil that rips them apart, I cannot see them losing. Winners: Team Raw

 

Female Team Raw vs Team Smackdown

A lot of who wins will be based on the fifth member of Team SmackDown.  If it is Naomi Sonya Deville will probably interfere and Team RAW will pickup the victory.  Otherwise Team SmackDown should win as from all appearances it should be the stronger team overall.

There is too much nonsense going on with Team Raw. Team Smackdown seems to be more on the same page. I can see Sasha leading them to a win. Winners: Team Smackdown

Becky Lynch (Raw Women’s Champion) vs. Charlotte Flair (SmackDown Women’s Champion)

My suspicion is that most of the audience will be expecting The Man to defeat The Queen after everything that has happened between the two of them recently.  Yet there is this nagging feeling that it will be Flair finding a way to defeat Lynch at Survivor Series.

This may have started out as a legit beef but now it seems like a total work. Despite everything, Charlotte comes out on top. Winner: Charlotte.

Big E (WWE Champion) vs. Roman Reigns (Universal Champion)

Unless King Woods interferes to get even with The Tribal Chief, Reigns should win this bout in a fairly dominating fashion.  Honestly it is time WWE started to build a regular wrestler on the roster who can topple Reigns, but that won’t happen here.

John Powell

Editor-in-Chief

This should be a decent clash although I cannot stand either of these dudes. McMahon is pushing for Reigns to surpass Hulk Hogan’s record so Big E will be fed to Reigns just like everyone else has. Winner: Roman Reigns.

RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Riddle) (Raw Tag Team Champions) vs. The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) (SmackDown Tag Team Champions

Traditionally heel teams tend to do better at Survivor Series compared to the other big 4 traditional WWE PPVs.  Plus having RK-Bro lose to The Usos due to some mishap will plant the seed for the eventual feud between Orton and Riddle later on.

The Usos will win this battle of the brands through some nefarious shenanigans. Winners: The Usos.

 

Damian Priest (United States Champion) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (Intercontinental Champion)

 It seems almost certain that Priest will pick up the victory over Nakamura as all signs point to WWE Creative having big plans for him going forward.

Many are sleeping on this one but I am willing to bet this will be one of the better matches. Priest will score one of the only Raw wins. He will probably snap and take out that Eddie Van Halen wannabe too. Winner: Damian Priest
