WWE Survivor Series 2017: Preview and predictions
Preview and predictions for every match for the main card at WWE Survivor Series.
WWE Survivor Series will hit the Toyota Center in Houston, TX on Sunday, Nov. 19. It’s the last “Big 4” pay-per-view of 2017, with Royal Rumble, WrestleMania 33 and SummerSlam already in the rearview mirror. Unlike those three shows, however, the Fall Classic will revolve around the battle between RAW and SmackDown.
Seven matches are set for the four-hour Survivor Series PPV. None of them will be for titles, unless the pre-show match between Enzo Amore and Kalisto for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship counts.
There will be plenty of winners and losers at Survivor Series. So, how will each match go down? Let’s take a look.
Alexa Bliss vs. Charlotte Flair
As of Tuesday morning, it looked like Alexa Bliss vs. Natalya would be the match at Survivor Series. That changed when Charlotte Flair won the SmackDown Women’s Championship on SmackDown Live, becoming Bliss’ new opponent for the champion vs. champion format.
Since this match was put together three days ago, there will be no build before it. Of course, unless you consider this ongoing war between RAW and SmackDown Live enough to do it justice.
On a four-hour show, this match should get enough time, showcasing the leaders of the Red and Blue Brand. It won’t have the investment of a Shield vs. New Day match or Brock Lesnar vs. AJ Styles, but these women are talented enough to deliver something quality.
Along with this, there isn’t meaning to this match. Again, that depends on your perception of the brand rivalry. But, after Survivor Series ends, Bliss and Flair will head back to their respective shows, continuing rivalries with other women for the titles.
As for the result, Charlotte had her feel-good moment, with her father, Ric Flair, at SmackDown Live. However, Natalya will linger on Sunday, and I would expect her to interfere. So, look for Bliss and RAW to win.
