This show had three weeks of build instead of the usual four considering that Crown Jewel happened this month (click here to check out my review for that) but will the show be any good? Will have to wait until tomorrow but first, here are my coherent and honest predictions for Survivor Series 2018.
(Kick-Off Show) Tag team Survivor Series Match
Honestly, I don't care if either RAW or Smackdown Live wins this match but if I had to pick I'll go with.......
WINNER: Smackdown Live Team
(MAIN SHOW) Buddy Murphy (c) vs Mustafa Ali for the Cruiserweight Championship
Even though I admittedly don't watch 205 Live all that much, I do think based on watching some of their matches that they are a great talent so there's no reason why they can't give us a classic. However, Buddy Murphy just won the championship at Super Showdown a month ago and having Mustafa Ali win the title this Sunday just doesn't feel like that it's the best time for a title change.
WINNER: Buddy Murphy
AOP (RAW Tag Team Champion) vs The Bar (Smackdown Tag Team Champion)
Another match that I necessarily don't care but with the untrustworthy Big Show being on The Bar's corner, The dynamic between him and AOP could be interesting.
WINNER: AOP
Seth Rollins (Intercontinental Champion) vs Shinsuke Nakamura (United States Champion)

This is the match that I and others are looking forward to the most. Unfortunately, the build was pretty much nonexistent. I get that WWE are progressing the storyline between Seth and Dean but this is a mark key match that we haven't seen before and to just have a minimum build for this is disappointing. With that being said, I'll go with Nakamura because he needs to look legit as champion in my opinion.
WINNER: Shinsuke Nakamura
Women's 5 on 5 Survivor Series Match
I wish that the 5th spot for the Smackdown Women's team is a wrestler we haven't seen in the WWE in years but it is most likely going to be Mandy Rose. RAW's team is not appealing I mean 1 babyface and 4 heels like really WWE?
Since Ronda Rousey is going to face Nia Jax for the championship, I think that WWE are booking her to not only dominate in this match but also win the whole thing just to make her look good going into TLC next month but that's just me.
WINNER: Team RAW
Ronda Rousey (RAW Women's Champion) vs Charlotte Flair
This match could main event this PPV given that Ronda and Charlotte are very popular and they're good wrestlers in my opinion. It's unfortunate that Becky is not going to compete in this match but even if she was clear to compete, I would still pick the same winner and that winner is.......
WINNER: Ronda Rousey
Men's 5 on 5 Survivor Series Match
Since Balor build dissension with Dolph Ziggler and Drew Mcintyre on RAW this week, I could see team Smackdown win this match but this could be a fun match if they play the game (no pun intended) right.
WINNER: Team Smackdown
Daniel Bryan (WWE Champion) vs Brock Lesnar (Universal Champion)
Since Bryan is now a heel (which you can click here for my thoughts on the heel turn) I feel like this match has a bit of an unpredictable feel to it with Bryan's heel tactics. However, there is no way that Bryan will ever win this match. I've been wanted those guys to face each other for years and now I'm finally getting it which is rather exciting.
WINNER: Brock Lesnar
