WWE Survivor Series 2020: 10 Most Likely Outcomes

3. Roman Reigns Will Defeat Drew McIntyre

The most exciting thing about Drew McIntyre's sudden reclaiming of the WWE Championship is the fact that it gives fans the Survivor Series showdown we were all hoping to see. It was hard to get excited about Randy Orton taking on the 'Big Dog' in the clash of champions so the last-minute change was largely welcomed.

The problem with McIntyre's victory, however, is that it leaves creative team with limited options in regards to the outcome. Neither champion can really afford to take a loss right now and yet one of them more than likely will, meaning that WWE is likely going to have to craft a finish to protect one of them (we'll get to the 'hows' of that shortly).

All that aside, Roman Reigns is the only one who can walk out as the victor. Drew McIntyre may be the most formidable challenger he's had in some time but the 'Tribal Chief' is on such an excellent run as the dominant heel champion that it would be ludicrous for his first loss to come at the hands of Raw's Champion. No matter how credible a victor McIntyre would be, he would return to Raw having gained little while the once-unstoppable Reigns would return to SmackDown a beaten champion and have to rebuild his dominance all over again.

That being said, we can't have McIntyre getting demolished either...
