Over the last few years Survivor Series had begun to diminish from it’s original highly anticipated state with Tag Team matches being put together last minute post WWE Draft meaning the brand supremacy didn’t have the same feeling as classic Survivor Series matches of years prior. Thankfully Survivor Series returns tonight in full swing with a lineup of fresh and fun matches as well as an epic lineup of Main Roster WarGames matches for both the men and women.
In the Women’s WarGames match Bianca Belair looks to lead her team to victory and silence Bayley and Damage CTRL’s team once and for all as 10 women collide in what is bound to be an epic WarGames match for the ages.
Elsewhere after weeks of being blindsided by both Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler, Shotzi looks to take the SmackDown Women’s Championship from the rowdy one and have the last laugh over the once fan favourite superstar. Who will walk out of Survivor Series with the ultimate bragging rights? It’s time to weigh in with our Survivor Series 2022 PPV Predictions:
Smackdown Women’s Championship: Ronda Rousey Vs Shotzi
Elle: Talk about a turn around for Shotzi! Not so long ago I don’t think any of us would have been too surprised to see the ballsy badass depart WWE under the reign of Vince McMahon but now with Hunter at the helms (Like what I did there? hah) Shotzi has never looked better on the Main roster. Ultimately I can’t see the night ending well for Shotzi this close to the Road to WrestleMania and no doubt it will be at the hands of Shayna somehow getting involved. Regardless of a loss this is one hell of an opportunity for Shotzi and I hope this isn’t the last one she receives anytime soon. Prediction: Ronda Rousey
Adam (TheInsanityInc): Shotzi going from being a loss-fodder heel to a title contender shows the big difference in the mindset of the new era of WWE. It’s a well-deserved opportunity for a long-underrated talent. Sadly, against Rousey and with WrestleMania season not too far off on the horizon I don’t see an upset happening here of a new champion. It should make for an interesting if not very entertaining match-up however. Prediction: Ronda Rousey
Women’s War Games Match: Team Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai, IYO SKY, Nikki Cross & Rhea Ripley) Vs Team Belair (Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair & Mia Yim)
Elle: This year’s WarGames match has the potential to be one of, if not THE best in the matches history, with a lineup of some of WWE’s greatest superstars. A huge part of me wants to believe that the addition of Becky Lynch to team Belair will ultimately seal the deal for Team Damage CTRL but I just can’t shake the feeling that there may be some shenanigans on the horizon leading to a shocking loss for Belair and her pals. For weeks Alexa Bliss has been teased by Bray Wyatt both in and out of the ring and I wouldn’t be surprised to see that factor in here again tonight, possibly leading to a heel turn from Bliss. Not only that but I quite like the idea of Rhea making the pin leading to a title match between Belair and Ripley. Prediction: Team Damage CTRL
Adam: Having watched all the previous NXT-era War Games this match has all the potential to be wild and over the top, along with being a show stealer. The last-minute addition of the returning Becky Lynch (along with the fact that in WWE every team that’s had the numbers advantage has lost) surely makes the result obvious. It will be fun to see how the match goes with the unpredictable nature and the potential for plenty of weapons and spots. Prediction: Team Belair
