WWE Survivor Series 2018: 10 Last-Minute Predictions

9. Shinsuke Nakamura Beats Seth Rollins

Prediction: That cameo on the big screen from Raw gives the game away in this one, and so do Rollins' dismissive claims that he's not focused on Shinsuke Nakamura. That'll come back to bite the Intercontinental Champ when Dean Ambrose shows up on screen again and opens the door for Naka to, in the words of Michael Cole, "steal one".

Why It's Likely: It's the story WWE are going with between Ambrose and Rollins. The former is playing mind games aplenty with his former Shield colleague, and he's playing coy over the reasons why he attacked him several weeks ago.

More thinly-veiled cowardice from Dean makes sense here, and it'd be in-character for him to cost Rollins the match without showing face. That kind of simple psychological torture is the fuel Seth needs for more frustrated promos.
