Charlotte's win on SmackDown not only means she'll be facing Alexa Bliss instead of Natalya, it also opens up her spot on Team SmackDown too. On Tuesday night's show, WWE said that Flair's replacement would be revealed on Sunday. That surely means there's a surprise coming.

They could just put Natalya in Charlotte's place. They could, but that'd be boring and a completely wasted opportunity. Survivor Series may instead see the return of an old favourite, one fans haven't seen on WWE TV since last year. That's right, Survivor Series 2017 could be Paige's big comeback. Even if this turns out to be a one-off, it'd get a big reaction.

Paige has maintained her popularity despite being away from the ring for over 12 months now. Don't forget that WWE also have a movie in the works looking at her family life, so her return would be marketable and an ideal means of shaking up the women's division on SmackDown before the new year.
