My Picks: Survivor Series 2020

 

    Tonight we celebrate 30 years of the Undertaker at Survivor Series.  Frankly, the fact that the Deadman will be there as well as a few surprises to celebrate his three decades of destruction is the main reason I will be watching,  Don't get me wrong, there are some matches I want to see, like the Boss Sasha Banks Vs the Empress of Tomorrow Asuka, but I am here to pay my respect to the Undertaker.  Since there will be some matches tonight, let me go ahead and give you my picks.

Team RAW Vs Team Smackdown (Men)

    The Raw and Smackdown teams are stacked with power houses.  Team Raw is just plain PHENOMENAL were as Team Smackdown is full of FIGHT.  If Team Raw can stay on the same page, they should be able to take the victory, but something tells me the teamwork will not happen and that dream will not work.  I foresee Kevin Owens or Jey Uso being the last man standing when all is said and done.

My Pick: Team Smackdown

Team RAW Vs Team Smackdown (Women)

    Now we have the Women's Teams and their match.  This match is really hard to call because both teams are really not seeing eye to eye completely.  You could say that Team Smackdown will lose due to Bayley and her ego or you could say Raw will fall apart due to the bullying from Nia and Shanya.  I wouldn't be surprised if Teams Raw and Smackdown work together to get rid of the two just to avoid anyone getting put through a table.  With that said, it wouldn't surprise me if Team Raw is still able to get the when.  It would be something if Lana ended up being the victor when all is said and done.

My Pick:  Team Raw

The New Day Vs The Street Profits

    The Tag Team Championship match might just be the match of the night.  You have your boys, the NEW DAY taking on the Street Profits and they want the smoke! The Street Profits want to prove to the New Day that they are just as good, if not better, than they are.  Like I said earlier, look for a great match from this four talented wrestlers.  Don't miss a minute of this match because it will be an experience none like other you have ever seen.

My Pick:  the New Day

United States Champion, Booby Lashley Vs Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn

    In one corner you have the Powerhouse of the Hurt Business and in the other corner you have the true Intercontinental Champion.  Most people think Sami does not have a chance against Lashley.  Let us not forget that this two have history and Sami will do whatever it takes to win.  I expect the Hurt Business will be at ringside but I am sure the ref will have to send them to the locker room at some point.  Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if we see Ricochet or Retribution come to the ring allowing Sami to capitalize and get the win.

My Pick: Sami Zayn

Drew McIntyre Vs Roman Reigns

    The Tribal Chief has his eyes set on the Chosen One and there will be blood.  This match will be a fight not a match.  Hell, this fight will be WAR.  Drew may be the big "dog" on Raw, but he needs to be careful against the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns.   There is no doubt that both men will give it all, but Reigns is the head of the table, so don't be surprised if he gets a little help from his friends.

My Pick: Roman Reigns

Asuka Vs Sasha Banks

    The Women's Championship match is the match I look forward to the most. Sasha may think she is ready for Asuka, but I don't think she is as prepared as she believes herself to be.  I feel that she will fair well in the match but at the end of it all, it will be the Empress of Tomorrow being called the victor.

My Pick: Asuka

Survivor Series 2018 - My Picks

    Well, I have to admit that after seeing last night's War Games, I do not know how well this pay-per-view will match up.  I mean War Games was extreme in many ways.  I know the WWE has some great talent, but two of the matches I wanted to see have been altered since the card was announced.  First, I am pissed that the Man cannot finish what she started on RAW and I am also pissed that Daniel Bryan used a low blow to weasel his way to victory to take on the Beast.  
    I know that the business is business but this sucks.  I am excited to see the Series, but I really wanted to see the Phenomenal One make the Beast tap and I wanted to see the Man show Rousey  how it's done in the WWE.  
    Oh well, let's get to my picks.  Yesterday I was correct 3 out of 4 times, so let's see how well I do today.

Kick-Off: RAW Tag Division Vs Smackdown Live Tag Division

10-on-10 Tag Team Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match 

    Both the RAW and Smackdown Live Tag divisions are pretty decent, but I think Team Blue has the best teams.  The Revival and the Ascension are my favorite teams on RAW, but they are always overlooked. I think tonight is their chance to say look at me and to gain some respect from the RAW locker room.  Team Blue aka Smackdown Live is stacked with tag team talent.  I honestly think Team Blue has the greatest chance to pull of the win.  

Winner: Smackdown Live

WWE Cruiserweight Championship
 Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Mustafa Ali

    WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match

    I admit I do not watch 205 Live as much as I would like to due to my work schedule, but I feel this will be one hell of a match.  Both Murphy and Ali are talented wrestlers, but I think Murphy will some how come out with the victory but Mustafa Ali will steal the show as usual.

Winner: Buddy Murphy

Raw Tag Team Champions AOP vs. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bar (w/ Big Show)

RAW VS Smackdown Live - Tag Champions Vs Tag Champions Match

    The Authors of Pain are the most dominate force in the RAW tag division, but they need to realize the Bar is not only dominant physically, but mentally as well.  Plus, with insurance like the Big Show, it will be a little harder to pull of the win than when they double teamed Rollins to get the titles.  They may be Corbin's mercenaries, but the Bar is a well seasoned fighting unit that is ready for war.  It will be a tough battle, but the Bar will leave the AoP destroyed on the field of battle.

Winner: the Bar

Women’s 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match

Women’s 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match

    The women's match is one of the unknowns in my opinion.  We know exactly who is on team RAW, but with the loss of Charlotte Flair, we do not know the exact make-up of the Smackdown Live team.  There are several women they could choose from, but the top two choices are probably Lana and Mandy Rose.  I, personally, think that they will put Mandy Rose in Flair's spot.  With that said, Team Blue has some talent, but Team Red has the POWER.  I think this match will be one of RAW's only victories.

Winner:  Team RAW

Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins vs. United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura

Champion Vs Champion

Intercontinental Champion Rollins Vs United States Champion Nakamura

    I think this match will be the most entertaining matches in the single's division matches that are on the card.  Both men are talented wrestlers and have shown the WWE Universe why they are champions.  They take no crap but they can dish it out.  Personally, I think Ambrose will make an appearance and distract Rollins which will allow Nakamura to capitalize.  The match could go either way, but I feel it will go the way of Team Blue.

Winner: Shinsuke Makamura

Men’s 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match

Men’s 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match

     One might think that RAW has this one in the bag because of Strowman and McIntyre, but I would disagree.  Smackdown Live has the high flying duo of Hardy and Mysterio as well as the AWESOMENESS of the Miz, but most importantly, they have Samoa Joe who can put you to sleep and throw your limp body over the ropes.  Team RAW has a Monster who could easily lose focus and settle a score with the team's manager, Baron Corbin.  There are many ways Corbin can "Get These Hands" without the Monster breaking his word to Stephanie.  Because of how I feel tempers will flare up in this match, my money is on Team Blue.

Winner: Smackdown Live

Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs. WWE Champion Daniel Bryan

Champion Vs Champion

Universal Champion Brock Lesnar Vs. WWE Champion Daniel Bryan

   Originally, this was one match that I was looking forward to.  I thought the match would be PHENOMENAL, but now I think it is going to be a massacre.  Don't get me wrong, Daniel Bryan is a talented wrestler, but he is no match for the Beast.  Daniel may get some shots in, but no low blow is going to take the Beast out of game, it will only ensure your visit to Supplex City will be very painful.

Winner: the Beast, Brock Lesnar

Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair

Ronda Rousey Vs Charlotte Flair

    This was originally supposed to be a champion vs champion match, but the medical officials will not let the Man defend Team Blue.  So, we have the next best thing in the Queen.  I feel this will be a good match and that Charlotte will provide competition for Rousey.  Rousey will realize she has not wrestled someone like the Queen.  I do feel, Becky "the Man" Lynch will make her presence known because I do not feel she is just going to sit around and watch.  The question is, who will the Man's appearance shake up the most?  I feel it will be a close match but I think Rousey just might get her first loss tonight.

Winner: Charlotte Flair

Survivor Series 2017: My Picks

    As you know, Sunday, November 19 is Survivor Series.  

Now that the final cast is chosen, 

I decided to share with you my thoughts on who will win.

Miz Vs Baron Corbin

    Miz is by far the most underestimated champion the WWE has ever seen.  He is the reason that the Intercontinental Championship is relevant once again.  Corbin is a good wrestler who happened to have luck on his side when he won the U.S. title in a triple threat match. Sure Baron is big and has muscle, but Miz has intelligence and the Miztourage in his corner.

Winner: the Miz

the Shield vs the New Day

    The WWE Universe wanted a Shield reunion and that is exactly what they got. The Shield will have their hands full against the NEW DAY!  As witnessed from Hell in a Cell, the New Day can fight, however I fill the Shield will have more tricks up their sleeve.  Who knows, the Shield may cause a rift in the New Day which could lead to their demise.

Winner: the Shield

the Queen, Charlotte Flair Vs the Goddess, Alexa Bliss

    The Women's division is on fire!  Alexa was training to fight Natalya but Charlotte had other plans.  Now the match is Alexa vs Charlotte.  I am Team Red all the way, but I have to say Alexa is out classed in this match.

Winner: Charlotte Flair

the USOs Vs the Bar

    Well, well, well.  This appears to be a familiar match-up.  These 2 teams have history.  Who has the advantage?  To me, it's the USOs.  The USOs have awoken and embraced their demons to be the champions that they are.  The Bar may try to bring them down a notch, but I think the USOs will fly high.

Winner: the USOs

RAW  Vs Smackdown Live Women's 5 on 5 Elimination Match

    5 women from RAW and 5 from Smackdown Live will go head to head to prove which show has the best women's wrestlers.  Each team has some talent. But, I feel that RAW's team is a little more stacked.  I believe Asuka said she will break the Smackdown Live team apart and I believe she could do it.  It wouldn't surprise me at all if she was the one standing tall.

Winner: Team RAW

RAW Vs Smackdown Live Men's 5 on 5 Elimination Match

    The WWE Universe is buzzing about the addition of HHH to team RAW.  Hell, Raw is one stacked team.  No offense towards Team Blue, but there is more power and skill on Team Red.  Strowman alone is a monster that cannot be contained.  The only way I see Team Blue on top is if someone helps Team Red loose,which as we know could happen.

Winner: Team RAW

AJ Styles Vs Brock Lesnar

    To me this is the money match up.  As the saying goes, I was saving the best for last.  In all rights, AJ is the underdog but he could pull off a victory.  Sure, Brock is a Beast and could easily manhandle Styles, but Styles is cunning and is brilliant on the mat.  I think it will come down to the end, but Brock will become victorious with a little help from Jinder Mahal.  I think Jinder is going to interfere or cause a distraction that will give Brock the upper hand and finish AJ in the match to become victorious.

Winner: Brock Lesnar

    I am fan of both shows, but my heart lies with Team Red and I guess it always will.  I do sense some possible switching of sides.  I personally think that Kane is working with Daniel Bryan and they may have a plan.  Kane isn't in any of the matches, but that doesn't mean he cannot have an involvement in any of the outcomes.  I guess we will just have to wait and see.
