WWE Survivor Series 2020: 10 Most Likely Outcomes

Is Survivor Series REALLY the end for The Undertaker?

By Michael Patterson /

The 34th-annual Survivor Series will make its presence felt on WWE's ThunderDome this weekend as the superstars of Raw and SmackDown gather under one roof to battle each other. The night that has been all about brand warfare since the company resurrected the split four years ago will see the red and blue shows collide in a series of matches throughout the night.

It's an unusual set-up - mostly because its placement weeks after the WWE Draft makes it hard to believe that any of Raw or SmackDown's new arrivals would be so devoted to their respective brand - but it's one that will dominate the evening.

However, that won't be the only story on the night as WWE plans to honour the 30th anniversary of The Undertaker's debut, with an appearance from 'The Deadman' himself in what is being billed as his 'Final Farewell'.

There will be a lot of emotions on Sunday night and Survivor Series will surely have the WWE Universe talking when it goes off the air, but what are the events we're likely to be talking about? Let's take a look at some of what we can probably expect to see at the event...

10. The Women's Elimination Match Will Open The Show

Survivor Series' card isn't all that huge but everything it does have on there is all about brand supremacy. Whether it be the champion vs. champion showdowns or the elimination matches, all of the contests revolve around the same thing. However, in spite of their similarities, not all of them feel as major as some of the others.

Of all the Raw vs. SmackDown matches of the evening, it does feel like the women's five-on-five tag team elimination match hasn't been dealt the best of cards. It's missing two of the women who were initially supposed to be in the match and instead of building a proper story, it's been all about Nia Jax slamming Lana through a table on Raw. With that in mind, don't be surprised if it's chosen to open the show.

It doesn't have quite as big a main-event feel as some of the other matches because of the poor storytelling leading up to it, but the fact that it is a five-on-five tag team elimination match at an event built upon five-on-five tag team elimination matches - and the fact that it's all about brand supremacy - suggest there's enough there to make it a credible opener. Here's hoping the action on the night allows these women to transcend the poor plotting leading up to the event.
