10 Incredible Matches We Won’t Be Getting At WWE Survivor Series 2019

This is a good excuse to revisit The Kabuki Warriors’ chemistry with Nox and Kai as demonstrated by their recent title fight.

It would make sense to align The Warriors with heels Fire and Desire for a four on four elimination match but what about the NXT side of the match up?

Isn’t Io Shirai’s inclusion on the face side exactly the sort of immersion breaking, character ignoring, brand loyalty silliness this very article decried in its introduction?

Maybe, but then again maybe it plays into a bigger picture. Looking to put up the strongest possible team, the faces could ask Io to help them out. They could appeal to her better nature and, yes, brand loyalty.

Things could start out well on the night, with the NXT team quickly gaining a numbers advantage. Then, mid match, “the genius of the sky” could turn on her teammates, leaving them weakened, easy pickings for the heels before taking the win and standing tall as the only survivor.

Io Shirai doesn’t need any friends. What she does need is a way to clear the field and demonstrate why she deserves the next shot at Shayna Baszler’s NXT women’s title.
