10 Early WWE Survivor Series 2017 Card Predictions

1. Universal Title: Brock Lesnar (c) Vs. Braun Strowman

Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman is the hottest feud in the company at the moment. Both men came out of SummerSlam looking like a million dollars, and while Lesnar successfully retained his Universal Title that night, he did so by pinning Roman Reigns.

The feeling coming out of SummerSlam was that Brock should face Braun, not Roman, at WrestleMania 34, but WWE have already pulled the trigger on this Beast vs. Monster feud. They'll clash for the title at No Mercy, but there's zero sense in making this a "one-and-done" storyline. WWE fans are absolutely ravenous for this feud at the moment. They could conceivably work every pay-per-view main event left before the year's end, and should definitely headline Survivor Series 2017.

We already know that it's going to be Lesnar vs. Reigns at 'Mania, so 'The Beast Incarnate' would have to go over here. Who cares, though? Him and Strowman are two of the best "big men" this sport has ever seen. They're going to absolutely destroy each other, the crowd will be rabid, and there'll be no shame for the eventual loser. It won't be a technical classic, but it will be unmissable.
