Thanksgiving may be over but WWE just keeps on giving, celebrating the season with one of the WWE big four….Survivior Series.
In the true spirit of Survivor Series Team Damage CTRL and Team Belair look to settle their differences once and for all as they go toe to toe in the dreaded WarGames structure.
Elsewhere Rhea Ripley puts her Women’s World Championship on the line against one of WWE’s fastest rising stars Zoey Stark. With the Alpha females battling it out to see who is the baddest of them all, will Mami finally be taken down a peg? It’s time to weigh in with our Survivior Series 2023 PPV Predictions:
Women’s World Championship: Rhea Ripley Vs Zoey Stark
Elle: I have to say i’ve loved seeing Stark evolve on the main roster solidifying herself as a worthy edition to Monday Night RAW. Whilst the build up for Stark and Ripley hasn’t been the greatest i’m really looking forward to a hard hitting back and forth between the two. I know eventually Zoey will get her moment as a main roster champ but I can’t see that happening just now with Rhea at the helm, especially with the run Judgement Day is on. Prediction: Rhea Ripley
Adam(TheInsanityInc): While Stark had a show-stealing performance at Crown Jewel, the build between these two in the run up to Survivor Series has been very disappointing. A whole lot of talking but nothing that stands out to make Stark a threat to take the title. I don’t see an upset title change happening here with Ripley being so involved with all the stories around The Judgement Day as well. But it should make for a great match. Prediction: Rhea Ripley
Women’s WarGames Match: Team Damage CTRL Vs Team Belair
Elle: The end of this chapter may have been rushed just a tad but I’ve really enjoyed the interactions between Flair and Lynch, with Charlotte having to call for help from the woman she once called her best friend. Team Belair aren’t the only ones with simmering issues as it looks as though Bayley (possibly Dakota too) may be headed towards splitsville as leader of Damage CTRL after the unlikely alliance with Kairi Sane and Asuka.
I would love nothing more than for Damage CTRL to continue to be one mega faction over the coming months but with teases on social media from all members it looks as though the future for IYO is a trio with her, Asuka and Kairi Sane.
Storyline wise I think that tonight’s match will no doubt be the coming together of Lynch and Flair after years of friction and the start of the downfall of Bayley with a loss for team Damage CTRL no doubt with Bayley taking the pin. Prediction: Team Belair
Adam: The fact that Becky Lynch, as good as she is, has been so rushed to be shoehorned into this match shows the WWE has a problem with making full stars if they don’t have any faith that the talents on SmackDown like Zelina or Mia could fit the fourth woman spot. Granted, it doesn’t automatically mean that Belair’s team will win (Lynch did drop the NXT title not that long ago) but it doesn’t look good for the group and I think that Damage CTRL will suffer a loss here to set things up for the inevitable fall of Bayley as leader of the group. Prediction: Team Belair
