8 WWE Survivor Series 2018 Nightmares That Could Come True

4. WWE Don't Book That Killer Singles Match

Nightmare: Currently, assuming AOP vs. The Bar is one of them, WWE have six matches booked for Survivor Series. That's five fewer than the card for Crown Jewel, and one fewer than the main card for the all-female Evolution show. This is different however; both traditional elimination bouts will take up a lot of time.

What if that's it?

Chances Of It Coming True: It might be a stretch to squeeze something that has nothing to do with the Raw vs. SmackDown story onto Survivors. OK, so nobody should expect Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker pre-WrestleMania season, but surely there's a killer rivalry waiting in the wings. No? Anyone?

Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy and The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan have both been done to death, so it seems the humdrum brand warfare gimmick is indeed all the pay-per-view has to offer. That's a shame. Last year's show at least had a Shield reunion match as a bonus attraction.
