WWE Survivor Series 2019: 5 Things to expect tonight – Total decimation of former Champion, Brutal match between Brock Lesnar & Rey Mysterio (24/11/2019)
When WWE announced that this year’s Survivor Series would include NXT, fans were rightfully happy and hopeful. After all, they would now get to see some dream match-ups ahead of time while NXT would also get exposure at an unprecedented level.
On the SmackDown post-Crown Jewel, most of the roster weren’t able to make it to the show due to their flight getting delayed in Saudi Arabia. WWE turned this curse into a blessing as NXT stars invaded the show to kickstart the invasion angle for Survivor Series.
The invasion continued as the company kept building hype for Survivor Series. And now, with only a few hours left for the PPV to begin, we will be bestowed with some matches that have the potential to steal the show.
With that in mind, here are the 5 things to expect from Survivor Series 2019…
#5 NXT to impress but will also take the fall
In the last episode of SmackDown, NXT made their presence felt and ended up as the clear winner among the three brands. The Undisputed Era beat The New Day and Heavy Machinery while Rhea Ripley got a win against Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair in a Triple Threat match.
So, if momentum is to be taken into account, then NXT are the favorites to come out on top in this year’s Survivor Series. However, looking at the trend with WWE’s booking in the past, it would not be wrong to assume that NXT might not finish the PPV as winners.
Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean that they won’t win a single match (more on that later) but we could expect them to lose the majority of the bouts.
Survivor Series presents a chance to showcase NXT on a grander scale and making them look strong will go a long way in helping the ratings of their weekly-show on Wednesday.
As a result, we could expect NXT stars to lose most of their matches but it won’t be without giving a tough fight and looking strong in the process.
