8 HUGE WWE Survivor Series Predictions You Need To Know

1. Brock Lesnar Vs Daniel Bryan

Five days.

Daniel Bryan has been given five days to mentally and physically prepare himself for a battle he's been waiting well over five years for.

A match with Brock Lesnar was a well-known dream the 'YES!' man was only too happy to fight for from the moment 'The Beast' burst back in through WWE's front door in 2012. Back then, he was a slimy pr*ck heel sure to generate amazing heat against the revived phenom Lesnar. A SummerSlam 2014 battle - had Bryan not got injured before the intended WWE Championship switch took place - would have been the company's greatest ever David Vs Goliath battle.

Now though? It could be anything.

Though he's only just turned heel, against Brock, Bryan could be good. Then again, he's so talented, he could be bad. He could be bald. The sheer unpredictability of a match that, paradoxically, has been in the key component's mind all these years is absolutely fascinating.

Discussion of the finish is almost irrelevant. Yes, AJ Styles could feature to set up a rematch at Tables, Ladders and Chairs. Yes, Paul Heyman may even turn on his charge if rumours of this being 'The Beast's penultimate match are to be believed. But Daniel Bryan doesn't want you to say yes anymore.

The joy of this match isn't about contemplating the booking, but the sheer insane execution. Brock Lesnar will score the fall, but we'll all be the winners.

Winner - Brock Lesnar
