Domino_Not_Deuce Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 If I was AJ, I'd negotiate for extra money throughout November since that is now the month in which he must work miracles on a yearly basis. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 If they're really doing the match again, I think there's some real value in putting AJ over, especially after how they've protected him in the last year and with the impending move to Fox. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm naively/hoping AJ Styles will beat Brock Lesnar this go round. Today I watched Lesnar/Styles for the first time since it happened. Lesnar's last great match, it's all Brock in the first half till Styles came back with the flying offense and working Lesnar's leg over. More of this again, please.

dragonzombie Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 The only way AJ is winning is via roll up. Brock is more likely to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Well you have to assume that Rousey is beating Becky. So would they allow RAW to complete sweep their main champions so that Smackdown wins the survivor series match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 If they're doing two "pro wrestler from Smackdown versus MMA wrestler from Raw" matches, one of them has to go to SDL, right? Or maybe once they're on TV Vince considers them all sports entertainers and won't think twice about putting Ronda and Brock over. Last year seemed like a total domination from the Raw side too so logic (I know, I know...) would say Smackdown will get more of a nod this year.

ReiseReise Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I think it is fairly likely they have forgotten that they already ran Lesnar vs Styles last year. Or that they will hotshot the belt onto sb else. It could have been WWE simply not wanting Braun's first major singles title win to take place on Saudi-Arabian soil with all the bad press surrounding it... then again, this is totally wishful thinking on my part.

dragonzombie Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Nakamura might beat Seth. And Nakamura did MMA too. Smackdown might win the survivor series match. But that might hinder Dz and Drews push if they're on the Raw team. I would expect a bigger push for Sd next year when they're on Fox. In the meantime they're the B brand.

Ziggy Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Survivor Series was been a really good PPV since this brand split. Its probably my favorite of the big 4 since. I dont think it gets enough love because it seems to have the least fanfare because there are so many Big shows around this time. Looking forward to Seth vs Nak and Charlotte vs Becky, I dont want AJ to lose to Brock again but atleast he can get a good match out of him plus Brock obviously likes him enough to be willing to put some time into this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Brock and Ronda are almost certainly gonna win, SD needs something so I guess they’ll probably take the 5 on 5 match and Nakamura will win. He won’t win clean though. Rollins is much higher in the company pecking order and Ambrose will probably interfere to screw Rollins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 the mens 5 on 5 in 2016 was my favorite match of that year. the mens 5 on 5 in 2017 was the biggest disappointment of the year with that lineup. hope this year is a great one.

RIPPA Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 As a reminder - last year the breakdown was the following RAW WON Women's 5x5 Men's 5x5 World Title The random 6 man between Shield and New Day SDL WON US vs IC Title Match Tag Titles Women's Titles I feel like it will basically be the same this year except for swapping the Women's 5X5 and Women's Title matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Hero Morganti Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I can also see the random 6 man going to SDL this year and if they get the Titles off Dean and Seth, that going to SDL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I'm interested in Ronda vs. Becky and I enjoyed Brock vs. AJ last year. That said, I do not like this format. I'd rather the Survivor Series matches be between people who are feuding. For example, Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy and The New Day vs. Nakamura, Randy Orton, Big Show and The Bar. Or Braun Stroman, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Elias and Kurt Angle vs. Drew McIntyre, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley. Maybe a women's and men's Survivor Series match from each brand and then the top titles defended. So in SD's case you can still run AJ Styles vs. Daniel Bryan or Samoa Joe and on RAW's side Brock Lesnar can defend against someone, though nobody is really built up to challenge outside of the guys in the survival match 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you. AJ beats Lesnar, McIntyre comes away from the Rumble with the belt, somehow and we make the march toward Strowman's coronation. And we can do Bryan/Styles at Mania with 24 minutes freed up for the pair of them because HHH is too injured to take the longest match for himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I don't like to see anyone get injured and I have always been a fan of Hunter.. I also appreciate what he has done for the business in recent years with NXT and booking an old school type show and giving women's wrestlers a platform to compete.. etc. However, I will be very happy if he is not on the card for WrestleMania this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Triple H be cutting it close for WrestleMania next year. In ring Trips' has a mixture of good and bad matches, some too long and wasn't the most selfless wrestler on top. Triple H is teak tough finishing matches when badly injured. NXT is wonderful since it was rebooted from its original format. Triple H gets rightful credit for that, the way it's booked, the quality of the product and the roster assembled for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Blue Sam Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Can totally see AJ beating Brock, probably with Braun distraction, with maybe the rubber match happening at Mania. Braun costing Raw the win would play into his feud with GM Corbin too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 If you add a stipulation that Baron needs Raw to beat Smackdown to keep his job and Braun costs them the rubber match, it's an ultimate babyface move. I'm still hoping for what should have happened last year. Braun at number one (as penance for costing Raw). Braun eliminates 29 other guys. Run three months of vignettes of Braun racing Roman down beaches. Afa can play Duke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Brock does kind of resemble Dolph Lundgren. Braun/Roman unite, train against the foreign invader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
