8 Last-Minute WWE Survivor Series 2017 Rumours You Need To Know

8. Paige Returning To Team SmackDown

This past Tuesday, Charlotte defeated Natalya to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship—a title change that has a twofold effect on the Survivor Series card.

Not only does Charlotte’s win mean that she’ll now take Natalya’s place against Alexa Bliss in the inter-promotional women’s bout, it also opens up a spot on the SmackDown team in the female five-on-five elimination match. The most logical quickfix would be to have Natalya simply take that place, but with WWE.com having since hyped up the big reveal of the mystery fifth member, you get the impression the company could have another surprise in store here.

Or at least, that’s what British tabloid newspaper The Daily Star seems to think. They’ve reported, citing CagesideSeats.com, that “there is indeed speculation involving Paige (real name Saraya-Jade Bevis), 25, and a surprise return in Houston, Texas.”

Switching things up and adding Paige to Team SmackDown could explain why she didn’t make her long-awaited return on Raw this past week, despite being in attendance at the show.
