Survivor Series predictions

Another year, another Survivor series, but before I begin I would like to say that I am glad they decided to take Ryback and Punk out of the Survivor Series match and dump them in to a triple threat match for the title. Let's face it, Punk's title is the only one with any meaning in the WWE right now, so not having it defended at the PPV would be unwise. They have often only had one World title defended at the Surivor Series PPV, with the other champion being involved in the survivor match. The champions team was often also the one that lost, with the champion being pinned last, thus giving him an opportunity to lose the match but not the title.

On to the predictions

3 Man Band v Tyson Kidd and Gabriel

The 3 Man Band has never caught on with me, while Kidd and Gabriel are rather insignificant right now [like much of the roster I suppose]. It depends on how far WWE intends on taking the 3 Man Band. Do they want to push them and make them significant or are they thinking of breaking them up soon? I don't know, but since the stable is so uninteresting, the WWE will probably push them.

[prediction] 3 Man Band


Eve v Kaitlyn

I have never cared about female fueds in wrestling. I don't mind women in wrestling, them certainly have their part to play, but their fueds never grip. The match might not be that bad in itself [by women's standards] but I don't care who wins. Kaitlyn is getting a mini push now, perhaps? Isn't she? Well she has funny hair, that must mean something, right?

[prediction] Kaitlyn


Antonio Cesaro v R Truth [US Title]

The old 'foreigner holding a US title and not respecting it' is a bit played out [for the record I think Lance Storm did it best in WCW]. It's probably not played out to  the WWE though and it will last a while yet.

[prediction] Antonio Cesaro


Big Show v Sheamus [World Heavyweight title]

It would make no sense for Big Show to lose, not that it means the WWE wouldn't do it, but it would be really stupid. If they want Sheamus to be champion, why break his reign? They would have just had him keep his title. If he loses again though, it does make him look bad, but makes Big Show look great [not literally]. Big Show has never had the World title for very long in the past, perhaps this time he will.

[prediction] Big Show


John Cena v CM Punk[c] v Ryback [WWE title]

All I can say that I am fairly sure about is that Ryback won't win this. Why would he? If he was going to be the champ they would have put the title on him last month. The question now remains, are they sticking to the original planned story of The Rock fighting Punk at the Rumble for the title or have they changed their mind and decided to put the title on John Cena to perhaps have a Cena v Rock Rumble match, then possbly Punk and The Rock at Wrestlemania? If Punk loses, he just misses his 365 days. Perhaps The Rock will interfere and cost him the match, annoying him greatly taht he missed the 1 year milestone. Or not. I have not heard anything about a possible Rock interference at Survivor Series. Was it so well hidden? Not sure. If Punk wins he is probably going to pin Cena, as it would kill Ryback's heat and push completely if he got pinned.

[prediction] CM Punk



Team Foley v Team Ziggler

Well I did say I was glad that Ryback and Punk were taken out of this and put in to a more significant match but it makes this one even less significant. The question is whether Foley going to get back in the ring and wrestle somebody. If not, then this is pointless. If yes, it has some meaning.

[prediction] Team Foley


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once again more matches might be added like last month, but then again the Survivor Series match does take a while, so they might not. Either way, looking at the undercard, it has no meaning. At least half the card is okay.
