WWE Survivor Series 2016 Results Predictions
Looking ahead to what will happen at the final Big 4 Pay Per View of 2016.
Regardless of how good or bad the build to Survivor Series 2016 has been, it still holds its title as one of the Big 4 pay-per-views. It is still a must watch for casual and hardcore wrestling fans alike, and going to watch it as my first live WWE PPV after 11 years of being a fan is something special.
A lot remains up in the air about the card itself. Cross brand gimmick matches are often difficult to predict, and with the lack of apparent stakes in these matches, the outcomes seem some of the foggiest in recent WWE memory. Even still, there are hidden implications that just might give each result away.
Will Raw or SmackDown Live walk away as the dominant brand? Who will walk out of Fantasy Warfare as the true Conqueror? Here are my answers.
6. Brian Kendrick (c) Vs. Kalisto - Cruiserweight Championship
Rumor has it that the Cruiserweight and Intercontinental championships will be switching brands, primarily to accommodate the taping of 205 Live happening prior to SmackDown. This puts the smart money on Kalisto to walk out with WWE's newest belt, and transfer the Cruiserweight Division to the blue brand
I don't necessarily agree with the title swap. It further dilutes a Raw roster trying to make a three hour show more than just filler and adds a redundant midcard title where there already is one. Yes, the Cruiserweight Division would certainly add depth to a lean SmackDown roster, but it would take away the prop that has been at the center of their best feud.
Still, there is an opportunity to add legitimacy to the Cruiserweight Division with a Kalisto victory. A feud between the former U.S. Champ and Brian Kendrick would add a bit more pedigree and name recognition to the top of the division. It is for this reason I give the victory to the luchador
WINNER: Kalisto
