10 HUGE WWE Survivor Series 2020 Predictions You Need To Know

7. Bobby Lashley Vs Sami Zayn

There's been no build to this beyond a few tweets and passing mentions from the Champions in between getting up to very little on their respective brands. That's probably for the best.

When the two last fought, Sami Zayn was sent out during an episode of Monday Night Raw to die, fast-talking his way through a segment in a which a bunch of muscular men were cast as Bobby Lashley's "sisters". Why? "Mind games" or some sh*t probably, they didn't really revisit it when the match came around.

Though they don't have the past on their side as a pay-per-view pairing, the present looks a little better. A heel/heel dynamic won't make it the easiest beating, but Zayn trying to dodge the worst of Lashley's diverse offence should make for a bit of fun. The two - and MVP, assuming he patrols ringside on behalf 'The All Mighty' - are experts at adding a bit of character and context to their in-ring, and the blend will make this more than just a empty calories battering. It'll be a win Monday'll need, too...

Winner - Bobby Lashley

Raw 2 - 0 SmackDown
