3 potential match of the year candidates at Survivor Series 2018
The 33rd edition of the WWE Survivor Series PPV is almost upon us, and the expectations of fans are relatively high this year given the quality of the announced match card.
The announced matches for the PPV are - Brock Lesnar (Universal Champion) vs Daniel Bryan (WWE Champion), Ronda Rousey (Raw Women's Champion) vs Charlotte Flair, Seth Rollins (Intercontinental Champion) vs Shinsuke Nakamura (United States Champion).
Also, Authors Of Pain (Raw Tag Team Champions) vs The Bar (SmackDown Tag Team Champions), Buddy Murphy vs Mustafa Ali ( WWE Cruiserweight Championship match), 5-on-5 Men's Survivor Series elimination match, 5-on-5 Women's Survivor Series elimination match, and 5-on-5 Survivor Series tag team elimination match.
The PPV is going to feature two massive first time ever match-ups - Brock vs Bryan, and Charlotte vs Ronda. In this slideshow, we are going to have a look at 3 matches which have the potential to be the match of the year candidates.
#3 Daniel Bryan vs Brock Lesnar
The dream match-up between 'The Beast Incarnate' Brock Lesnar and Daniel Bryan was always considered the ultimate David vs Goliath encounter within pro wrestling circles in the past.
Daniel Bryan's heel turn made this encounter even more special. If Bryan was still working as a babyface, then the match would have shaped up in the same way as last year's encounter between AJ Styles and Brock Lesnar.
Both AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan are similar to each other on various levels, including technical expertise and size, so Brock would have dominated the majority of the match, and Daniel Bryan would then make a heroic comeback, to only succumb to a vicious F5 in the end.
Since Daniel Bryan is a heel now, we can expect him to employ some underhand techniques to gain the upper hand over The Beast during their encounter. Though the result of this match is pretty much obvious, it is the unpredictability factor, and the rejuvenated heel character of The Bearded GOAT which makes this a potential match of the night candidate.
The possibility of former WWE Champion, AJ Styles, attacking Daniel Bryan also makes it one of the most anticipated matches of the night, as there is so much drama involved in this contest.
