It's realistic to suggest that multiple men will survive in the main Team Raw vs. Team SmackDown elimination match. For example, Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho could be left standing come the end of the match. Alternatively, maybe Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns will dominate.

Whatever the case, many agree that Raw will likely be the winning side. That's not definite, Team SmackDown may just benefit from WWE's plans for WrestleMania. Pushed onto the blue team at short notice, Shane McMahon is the kind of performer who continually overcomes adversity. Endorsed by The Undertaker on SmackDown's 900th episode, what if Shane becomes the sole survivor?

On social media, there would be those crying foul if that were to happen. However, it's unpredictable and would actually make SmackDown look superior to Raw. Perhaps that's something WWE would be interested in promoting, their Tuesday night show has been in Raw's shadow for so long now.

A Shane McMahon victory as sole survivor speaks to the chance occurrences Survivor Series is supposed to throw up occasionally. It'd come from left field for sure, and ably prepare Shane for 'Mania season.
