10 Survivor Series 'Super Teams' WWE Can Make Today
Brand ambassadors, a team of Canadian patriots, and the largest quartet you ever did see.
For the second year in a row, Survivor Series will be taking on a “fantasy warfare” type of vibe, with numerous inter-promotional matches already announced for the 19 November pay-per-view.
Those matches include a quartet of non-title meetings, headlined by Brock Lesnar vs Jinder Mahal, all of which sounds well and good, but Survivor Series has typically always been about its traditional, multi-person elimination bouts—and this year will hopefully be no different.
The company has already started putting together plans for a men’s and a women’s elimination match. SmackDown’s male team captain has already been decided, while the entire line-up for its female match has also been announced, but that doesn’t mean we can’t spitball some of our own ideas for potential Survivor-Series-worthy teams.
To fit that bill, these ‘teams’ need to have some kind of commonality that makes their alliance a logical one. Plus, they need to be, you know, good—although, we’ll leave you to come up with your own definition of what constitutes a ‘good’ team…
With all that in mind, here we concoct ten possible four or five-person super teams made up of members from the current WWE roster.
10. Team SmackDown
Who’s on the team? Randy Orton, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Roode, AJ Styles, Kevin Owens
Though SmackDown possesses the smaller roster, the number two brand is still very much capable of putting together a decent Survivor Series line-up.
On this past week’s show, Randy Orton was named team captain, and deservedly so given his history at the event. As a four-time team captain and a final survivor on five occasions—not to mention his three world title retentions at the show—Orton’s record would make him a number one pick on anyone’s Survivor Series team.
Elsewhere on the SmackDown roster, you’ve two of the more decorated NXT alumni in history in Shinsuke Nakamura and Bobby Roode. Nakamura is one of just two men to have racked up multiple NXT title reigns, while Roode’s one of just four men to have held the belt for more than 200 days.
Add in AJ Styles and Kevin Owens, another pair with a boatload of main roster accolades, and you’ve got a team that not only looks great on paper but is more than capable of backing it up in the ring.
