Sunday’s annual WWE Survivor Series event in Atlanta, GA has a different feel this year based on the recent turn of events and the injury to now former WWE Champion Seth Rollins.
The WWE title holder since WrestleMania is on the shelf likely till next year’s Money in the Bank PPV or possibly even SummerSlam based on how quickly he recovers from his injuries suffered in the companies tour in Dublin.
The company went into crisis mode in terms of changing around what once was one of their four biggest PPV’s of the year (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania and SummerSlam being the other three), and put together a tournament to see who would walk out of the event with the strap.
Sunday’s event will have four men left in the tourney going at it for the title, and really the way it looks there’s only three possible scenarios that seem to make any sense whatsoever as to how this is going to play out.
Today we take a look at those three, and give you our pick as to who is going to win the belt, and how that wrestler is going to leave the PPV in terms of his character development.
1. Roman Reigns over Kevin Owens in the Final
It’s a straight ‘good vs bad’ in the final match, as Roman Reigns beats Alberto Del Rio in the semi-finals to move on, and Owens beats Dean Ambrose on the other side of the bracket to face Roman. There’s no question these two would have a good match, but in the end it would be awfully anti-climatic as it’s almost impossible to think that Owens has any chance to win the belt at this point in his career.
The only way that could happen is if The Authority gets involved and Owens is their new protege, but again, that doesn’t seem to fit at this point and time, and Roman would be the huge favorite to beat Owens clean and win the belt.
Reigns in the heavy favorite in most of the online odds, and a win over Owens is the simplest way to start a new reign for the new champion.
