WWE Survivor Series 2015 Predictions

[WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Semifinals] Dean Ambrose vs. Kevin Owens

At one point, it seemed like these two were going to face each other for the Intercontinental Championship. Then, I thought we'd see them on opposite ends of the traditional elimination match. When this tournament was announced, it seemed obvious they would face off, but I was expecting them to get this semifinals match out of the way before the pay-per-view. Now, that doesn't have a huge effect on my predictions, as I still think Dean Ambrose is going to beat Kevin Owens, but it does mean that I think these two will look stronger in the grand scheme of things.

PREDICTION: Dean Ambrose wins.

[WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Semifinals] Roman Reigns vs. Alberto Del Rio

I just can't see the finals of this tournament being Kevin Owens or Dean Ambrose against Alberto Del Rio as opposed to Roman Reigns, so I think this is the easiest match to predict of the three involving the tournament. Reigns will have a tough fight ahead of him, as WWE will want Del Rio to look strong, but in the end, MexAmerica will fall victim to a spear.

PREDICTION: Roman Reigns wins.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Finals
I guess Ambrose will turn heel againt Reigns and will win the title.

PREDICTION: Dean Ambrose will win the championship. 

[Divas Championship Match] Charlotte (c) vs. Paige

Paige and Charlotte were clearly going to wrestle sometime soon and since the triple threat didn't happen at Hell in a Cell, it meant they essentially had to meet here. I still think it's a shame Sasha Banks is being ignored in all this, but that's giving me hope that she'll be the one to defeat Charlotte for the Divas Championship down the line. Because of that, along with how Charlotte's reign just started, I don't think Paige will be winning the belt here. Paige will be Charlotte's first post-Bella feud to help put her over more than anything else before Charlotte moves on to someone else.

PREDICTION: Charlotte retains. 

The Brothers of Destruction (Undertaker & Kane) vs. Braun Strowman & Bray Wyatt
I have to say, I'm underwhelmed. I know the roster is thin right now, but WWE couldn't find two people to team up with Undertaker and Kane to make this a 4-on-4 scenario? If Sting is cleared, go with him and Finn Balor and you sell me immediately on this being one of the most important matches of the year. Start a new feud with The Dudley Boyz even. Something. This whole "two members of The Wyatt Family" thing is dumb and I'm really hoping those two members are Wyatt himself and Braun Strowman. If it's Luke Harper, we know the match would upgrade in quality, so I'd be okay with that, but if Erick Rowan is here, we know who is taking the fall. Even if it's Luke Harper, we know he's the one getting pinned. I'm not saying this will be bad or that this storyline hasn't been at least somewhat intriguing, but it was mishandled. Taker and Kane returning was just something that happened with no context and this match just feels odd.

PREDICTION: The Brothers of Destruction win. 

 Dolph Ziggler vs. Tyler Breeze

How much do you want to bet this gets bumped to the pre-show? I don't know why these two aren't on opposite ends of the elimination match, but trying to figure out WWE's mindset when booking this card is impossible. Just look at the Wyatt Family match for an example at that. My guess is they don't want Breeze to take a pinfall loss in the elimination match and they want to avoid doing a tag title defense as well, so they figured this could take that spot up and allow Breeze to get a victory.

PREDICTION: Tyler Breeze wins.

[Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match]

For some reason, WWE decided not to advertise any of the participants of this match ahead of time, which meant there was absolutely no build to it, which means it's by far the worst booked elimination match they've done in a long, long time. Why they think that's a good idea, I have absolutely no idea, but it is what it is.

Possible babyfaces: Ryback, Cesaro, Neville, R-Truth, Jack Swagger, The Dudley Boyz, The Lucha Dragons

Possible heels: New Day, Sheamus, King Barrett, Stardust, The Miz, Big Show, The Ascension

I'm guessing we'll get The New Day, King Barrett and Sheamus against The Usos, Cesaro, Ryback and Neville.... This is just a chaotic build and despite the injury changing their plans, I still think WWE should've handled this better—such as, I don't know, announcing the participants?

PREDICTION: Babyfaces

WWE NXT Results - 11/11/15 Balor-Joe confrontation

(c) wwe

NXT Women's Champion Bayley & The Hype Bros def. Alexa Bliss & Blake & Murphy
To even the odds against Alexa Bliss and Blake & Murphy, Bayley enlisted the help of Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley for this Six-Person Tag Team Match. The NXT Women's Champion took control of the bout early on, nearly hitting a Bayley-to-Belly on Alexa. Blake & Murphy did not fare much better against the energetic Hype Bros, and eventually, they had to resort to distractions to turn the tides of the bout.

Rawley got his team back into the match with a burst of offense, including a big tackle that turned Murphy inside out. Perhaps seeing the end in her team's future, Alexa made a desperate move, stealing the NXT Women's Championship and running off. Murphy tried to prevent Bayley from chasing after Bliss, only to find himself on the receiving end of a Bayley-to-Belly! Though Bayley left the bout after that, she gave The Hype Bros the opening they needed to hit the Hype-Ryder and earn the victory!

Nia Jax def. Deonna
Nia Jax continued to pave her path of destruction this week on WWE Network. Deonna tried to muster whatever offense she could, but Nia Jax was unstoppable. The powerful Diva dominated Deonna, polishing her off with a leg drop to add another win to her impressive record.

Dash & Dawson def. NXT Tag Team Champions The Vaudevillains
After steamrolling over Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady and putting Big Cass on the shelf with an MCL injury, the only thing that stood between Dash & Dawson and the NXT Tag Team Titles were the current champions, The Vaudevillains. Though they fell to the roughneck duo during the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, Aiden English & Simon Gotch showed their challengers that they wouldn't be pushovers on this night.

Despite The Vaudevillains' early success in the bout, Dash & Dawson tipped the match in their favor when Scott Dawson took out English's left leg. Employing the same strategy that put Big Cass on the shelf, Dawson and Dash Wilder targeted the leg, wrenching at it with devastating holds and slamming it into the steel ring post.

The Vaudevillains looked to have things in control after Gotch tagged in, until Dawson clipped English from behind once again. After taking out Gotch, Dash & Dawson crushed English's leg with the same stomp off the ropes that injured Cassady's knee. Dawson locked on a reverse Figure-Four Leglock, forcing English to submit. The NXT Universe was stunned as Dash & Dawson were crowned the new NXT Tag Team Champions.

Samoa Joe explained his attack on NXT Champion Finn Bálor
While he normally receives a warm welcome from the NXT Universe, Samoa Joe got a mixed reaction as he stepped in the ring, as fans had one question on their mind: Why would Samoa Joe attack Finn Bálor?

Joe said that despite Bálor agreeing to give him an NXT Championship Match after the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, Bálor put no action behind those words. Instead, he let NXT General Manager William Regal enter Joe into a No. 1 Contender's Battle Royal, which the submission specialist took as an insult.

Things got combustible when Bálor rushed to the ring. Officials weren't far behind, immediately stepping in between the two. Bálor seemingly agreed to give Joe his title match, but the brawler took advantage of the situation, shoving a referee into Bálor before locking on the Coquina Clutch, putting the NXT Champion to sleep. Samoa Joe held the NXT Title high, leaving many to wonder if the outcome will be the same when the two finally meet one-on-one.
