WWE Survivor Series 2018 thread (spoilers)

PTH2009

Survivor Series takes place Sunday 18th Nov on the wwe network

First match announced the battle of the brand's womens champions
Raws Ronda Rousy vs SDs Becky Lynch

TimesArrow

Becky is arguably the most over superstar in the company.. she’s on a major high, and if done right, this could Be great

Lord TSC

As much as it sucks that most feuds seem to get put on hold, this means there's a strong chance we get Rollins vs Nakamura now.

johnnysmack

Ahh...now it's clear why Becky got the win at evolution. Need to keep Ronda and Charlotte separated till mania.

If it's Ronda vs Charlotte at mania then I'll be going for Ronda.

Is all the matches brand (SD) Vs. brand (Raw)?

Charlotte’s much more likely to be around long term, it would probably be Ronda’s first loss and a proper way to do it

CastorTroy

If it is Ronda vs Charlotte at Mania, it had better be because one of them has switched brands rather than having the women's titles not be defended.
Brand vs brand should be kept to its own show, like what Survivor Series has become.

I'm guessing Charlotte will lead Team Smackdown of Asuka, Naomi and at least 1 of Iiconics and/or Mandy/Sonya
Raw will probably be Sasha, Bayley, Nattie, Alexa (if cleared) and Mickie

For the men, I guess we'll have Dolph, Drew, Finn, Elias and Lashley
Smackdown will get Bryan, Miz, Orton, Rusev and Almas

Yeap.

Think I saw on Reddit that Nakamura vs Rollins is now offical too.

This card immediately looks stacked.

Rollins vs Nakamura
Ronda vs Becky

Styles or Joe vs Brawn or Brock.

J. Marston

Nothing about Nakamura, the Pogba of WWE, excites me anymore.

PTH2009

Ambrose will prob cost Rollins every big match hes in

TimesArrow

WWE are just taking the piss now. They've announced a full card for Starcade (is this even a PPV?) on Nov 24th and we know very little about Survivor Series (Nov18th ) as is.

Wasn't Starrcade the one that was just a house show last year?

Yeah it’s just a super show house show they run in markets where WCW had a big following.

Lord TSC

Main event is now official.

Crown Jewel Spoilers below.

AJ Styles vs Brock Lesnar

So a repeat of last year?

SureYWouldntYa

I wonder how Brock vs AJ will go down

They can't go the same way as last year surely even though it was perfect from a once off stand point and how both were seen at the time

Now though with Brock with a foot and a half out the door and AJ hitting record heights as WWE Champion I'd love to see him get the job done, even if they book Brock to be complacent since he got the job done last year

I don't think there's any chance of AJ going over clean, ditto Becky with Ronda, as much as I'd love to see both happen.

I can see both matches having a disappointing ending, because they'll want all 4 to come out of this as strong as when they went in

But they're still pretty interesting and I'm excited to see them in any case

Ya a non-finish in one of them wouldn't surprise me at all.
Becky/Ronda is the most excited I've been for a women's match probably ever.

Agent Coulson

Ronda is going beat Becky clean in less than 7 minutes.

PTH2009

Have a feeling Braun will interfere in the Lesner vs Styles match leading to Brock vs Braun again

TimesArrow

I hate Orton (most of the time) but i do hope that he's inserted in the match instead of Shame somehow. It's sad to see one of the classic 4 PPV's be reduced to such a non event. Or why not schedule it later in the month?

JP Liz V1

So the Raw men's team is Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor, Bobby Lashley and Baron Corbin - Corbin or Ziggler to help Shane and SD win?

TimesArrow

They are definitely building to closing Survivor Series with RR Becky

I know it is the match I am looking forward to the most. Dying to see who the crowd back.

J. Marston

It's in Ronda's home state so she'll probably get the majority of support.

The White Feather

Becky Lynch supposed to be out of Survivor Series

Damn it, Sapp is a pretty reliable source too so it’s probably true.

Smiling Finn is the team jobber.

PTH2009

Daniel Bryan off team SD replaced by Jeff Hardy

Bounty Hunter

Would have liked Becky to have the match obviously but at least this way she doesn’t have to lose to Ronda but keeps the rub from her invasion of Raw and attack on Rousey.

Haven’t watched SD yet but if the other inter brand match is altered as I’ve read it’ll be, then like last year, a great match but we know whose going to win still I’ll be happy to see it

Daniel Bryan now WWE Champion and set to face Brock Lesnar instead. Bit of a change :O

Lord TSC

Well the card changed ****ing dramatically overnight....

sky88

Its mad on monday before i went to bed i was like no real interest in this now im staying up for this on sunday

The Nal

Only way they could save the PPV was to have Lesnar vs Bryan and the only way they could make it anyway believable is to have Bryan as a heel so he can use low blows and cheat.

Its still going to look ridiculous mind you. Unless theres a Heyman turn and he aligned with Bryan and Lesnar can toddle off to the UFC and fight Cormier in January.

Is Styles legit injured as Jeff Hardy replaced him in the MMC match?

hope not but prob done for storyline purposes as it would look quite stupid after losing his title coming out all smily and cheery for the MMC straight after

Agent Coulson

What they need to do now is have Becky to interfere in the Ronda/Charlotte match and take out both of them with a chair and stand tall over both Charlotte & Ronda.



No one loses then and Becky becomes more Epic.

I don't think they'll put her over to that degree, as cool as it would be. I think they'll have Nia ruin the match (like she does everything...) since she's next for Ronda.

Then on Raw we'll have to suffer through another painful, shít-tier Nia promo where they'll lean into the Becky injury to get her more heat.

jrkb

Disappointed with the changes was looking forward to Becky v Rhonda then the long build to wrestlemania for Rhonda v Charlotte and have no interest in Lesner v Bryan find them both boring and bland.

brianblaze

Legitimately now, looking forward to Mania after all the chat this year about them wanting Rhonda in the Main Event, it could be Becky v Rhonda in the Main Event at Wrestlemania... How amazing is that?!

Itssoeasy

Saw that video and it was great to see it. Imagine if the one of the nxt horsewomen who never held that title and wasn't pushed is the one who gets to potentially main event wrestlemania first ? I'd be delighted if that happened to Becky. She comes across out of character as such a nice person and okay she's Irish so I'm biased but she's the best thing the company have at the moment hands down.

Lithium93_

Becky picking Charlotte to be her stand in against Ronda also keeps their feud simmering, case in point, if Charlotte were to lose, Becky could lord it over her, that she failed Smackdown while keeping Becky/Ronda on the back burner til the Rumble in late January.

Or there'll be shenanigans of some sort.

CastorTroy

The line at the end still keeps the rivalry going with Charlotte after Ronda wins

J. Marston

Still think the hug was dumb. Respectful handshake would've been fine.

CastorTroy

I'd say that was actually Becky and not her character. Genuinely pi$$ed off she couldn't compete and just got emotional at that point

PTH2009

So Styles is not on the card ??

I can see him costing Bryan the match against Lesner

Itssoeasy

I know it's the 17th of November here in Ireland(PPV was the 16th) but exactly 15 years ago tonight in 2003 I was recording survivor series 2003 on the TV in my parents house. I've watched WWE PPVs for years and recorded most of them but this one sticks in my mind.

Edit: this is the survivor series which Vince fights taker and bleeds like a utter champ after a shovel shot from taker that sounds unreal.

Apparently neither Becky nor Charlotte were in favour of that but Vince/the writers insisted on it.

TimesArrow

Just for fun..

I’d probably go Austin, HBK, HHH, Bret, Roman
