8 HUGE WWE Survivor Series Predictions You Need To Know

6. AOP Vs The Bar

Though this match may only have come together so Vince McMahon can positively p*ss himself at the sight of Drake Maverick squaring up to The Big Show, it has at least positioned AOP atop Monday Night Raw where they belong.

Akam and Rezar haven't yet had a main roster match that compares with their unexpectedly amazing efforts against #DIY or The Revival, but they'll get no better chance than here against Sheamus and Cesaro.

The Bar have become constants in an ever-changing world of late. 'The Swiss Superman' and 'Great White' almost never have bad matches regardless of the opposition, and persistently find new ways to integrate their fusion offence with their opponents. Though they haven't moved up the card considerably as a result (the pair were in exactly the same spot last year, but the belts were red instead of blue), that's perhaps no longer their modus operandi.

Though credit is doled out to The New Day for their longevity, we are now into The Bar's third year after a mid-2016 best-of-seven series brought them together. Fans back winners even when they boo them, and these two haven't ever given audiences a reason to lose faith despite occasionally being losers themselves.

Winners - AOP
