Greg DeMarco’s Bold WWE Survivor Series Predictions

November 23, 2014 | Posted by Greg De Marco

WWE Survivor Series is Sunday night, meaning it’s time for 411’s Greg DeMarco to present his Bull-Headed, Outlandish, Lascivious, and Deplorable predictions for the WWE’s annual team-based extravaganza. Remember, these predictions may not come true, but they…are…BOLD!

On Sunday, November 23, the WWE presents its 28th annual Survivor Series pay-per-view where the company puts together steams of five—or sometimes four—in a struggle to survive…

…well, that’s two of the matches at least!

The Survivor Series is an odd part of the pay-per-view schedule. It’s the second oldest such event, right behind WrestleMania. It used to feature all team oriented matches, and has gone through multiple iterations over the years. Now the team matches are a novelty and don’t even occupy the entire card.

Something tells me we’ll never see the special Tag Team Survivor Series matches where ten teams were involved, not just ten wrestlers.

So precisely what is going to happen at Survivor Series on Sunday? Well, for that question you should check out our 411Mania Roundtable Preview!

Because contained below are bold predictions for the event. Not likely to happen, these are indeed B.O.L.D.: Bullheaded, Outlandish, Lascivious, and Deplorable. But if one hits, I can promise you’ll never hear the end of it!

Now then, let’s have some fun!

John Cena Is Eliminated First After Triple H Changes The Game

On Friday’s Smackdown, the result of our main event got a little more obvious when Triple H added the stipulation that Team Cena will be fired if they lose. Now, if his main goal is to stay in power, he has absolutely no reason to do this—it further motivates his competition!

I think ol’ Trips will realize this and make a change. What will it be? We have some options here:

Termination Immunity – Triple H will offer termination immunity to any member of Team Cena in exchange for them to “do the right thing.” Or better yet, do what’s “best for business.” This person will, in turn, eliminate John Cena.

More Termination Immunity – In this case, Triple H offers immunity to everyone, if they turn on John Cena. Cena is then attacked in the dark before his match, suffering a “concussion” and being rendered unable to compete. On Raw, it can be revealed that Cena didn’t have a concussion, Triple H had the doctor in his back pocket.

Either way, it’s silly for Triple H to threaten the entire team with job termination. Unless it’s to later make their job secure, which is what I BOLDly predict he will do!

Sheamus Makes a “Miraculous Return”

Earlier this week it was revealed that Sheamus is the latest WWE Superstar to need surgery at the worst possible time, joining Bad News Barrett and Roman Reigns on that list.

Or is he???????

The Authority does NOT want to lose this, right? So how about they take out another member of Team Cena—either Big Show or Erick Rowan, only for Sheamus to come to the rescue, arm in a sling.

When finally tagged in, Sheamus Brogue Kicks the heel out of John Cena (outta nowhere?), rips off the sling to reveal that it was a rouse all along. Cena is eliminated and Sheamus has tipped the scales in favor of Team Authority.

Because who doesn’t want to see another amazing John Cena vs. Sheamus feud, right?

Your New Divas Champion is Brie Bella

I feel bad for Brie Bella—I really do. She used to be a sympathetic babyface who fans could get behind. Now she’s a pathetic babyface fans don’t really care about at all. I guess that’s what an injured Daniel Bryan can do to you.

You see, popularity doesn’t always follow the transitive property. At Hell In A Cell, Brie came out doing the “Yes!” chant to absolutely zero response. In fact, the only thing Brie did to elicit a “Yes!” chant was lose. She’s basically changed her gimmick from Brie Bella to Boring Bella, all while Nikki has become the hotter-and-far-more-interesting-twin. Funny how fickle wrestling fans can be, eh?

So what’s the WWE do to? Why put the Divas Championship on her, of course!

There are two major ways to accomplish this. Nikki Bella can, since Brie’s her personal assistant and all, put Brie in the match to help ensure a victory. Brie then decides to go into business for herself, and wins the championship.

Or, also at Nikki’s request, Brie can pull a little twin magic (even if a change in two certain “twins” makes it harder for a referee to fall for this trick—but c’mon, it’s a WWE referee we’re talking about here!) and score the fall on AJ Lee herself. The WWE can wait until Smackdown to resolve this (when the 30-days is up), or pretend to not know how to use a calendar (or their own WWE Network) and say the stip has already expired.

Either way, neither Nikki Bella or AJ Lee are leaving with that Divas Championship—Boring, err…I mean Brie Bella is.

The Rock, Roman Reigns and Sting Host a Survivor Series Party…VIA SATELLITE

The internet went abuzz on Friday when it was reported that Sting will make an appearance at Survivor Series. I’ve read everything from the sensible “start a slow burn to his Hall of Fame induction and WrestleMania retirement match” to “descend from the rafters to help Team Cena win and eventually face Triple H at WrestleMania.”

So let’s just assume for a second that the reports are right…sort of.

Sting does appear, but not live in the arena. Instead, Sting is hosting a Survivor Series party for two of his new friends—The Rock and Roman Reigns. Now, The Rock is busy filming movies while Roman is busy not wrestling, so it’s gonna have to be a Google Hangout party or one the WWE arranges for them…VIA SATELLITE!

Because Rock and Roman are really good at VIA SATELLITE.

#BELIEVETHAT

Or Sting just appears after Team Authority loses, when Vince names him the new Authority. Whichever. If he goes all Joker-Sting for it, I’ll be happy. That was fun when he did it in TNA.

Ah crap, it worked in TNA so it’s never happening again! Wonderful.

Seth Rollins Successfully Cashes In his Money In The Bank Briefcase

I’m shocked I haven’t thought of this before. I don’t know if there’s a rulebook we can refer to or not—I mean, the WWE did recently reveal that if the Royal Rumble ends in a tie they can bring back all 30 (or 40) competitors and just start over—but is there an actual rule that states the WWE World Heavyweight Champion has to be present for the holder of the Money In the Bank Briefcase to cash in?

Think about it…

Seth Rollins announces that he’s going to cash in, so Triple H rules that Brock Lesnar has until the count of ten to appear. Brock obviously cannot—but Paul Heyman can. Heyman begs, pleads, threatens to sue, and ultimately loses out when Trips awards the championship to Seth Rollins by forfeit.

This can lead in so many directions, since Brock still has physical possession of the championship belt. It can also protect the ever so fragile Brock Lesnar, and finally let the WWE have a champion on television.

Because hasn’t the belt been damaged enough since he left? I mean, do you even care about it anymore?
