I would love to see other wrestlers part of Team NXT that are not wrestling at War Games. Give a spotlight to guys like Isaiah Scott, Bronson Reed, Cameron Grimes, etc. I know the fans that do not watch NXT won't know who anyone is, but I think it will be awesome exposure for them.

Lacey Evans has joined Team SmackDown, so I can only assume Alexa Bliss won't be cleared in time.

This is the first Survivor Series I'm looking forward to since the attitude era.

Does Brock/Rey last more than 5 minutes regardless of outcome?

Put mandy in as the 5th and have sasha put on a blonde wig. They can then be the blonde bombers and enter in bi-planes

I actually think this is shaping up to be a very good card.
The only thing that seems to be missing is why isn't Adam Cole defending the NXT Title? The other top champs have singles matches, and everyone else is in a triple threat Raw vs Smackdown vs NXT match. Also, Cole won't be defending the title at War Games either.

Anyone in War Games is already going to be the walking wounded going into Survivor Series, doubly so for Cole since he's got a Ladder match for the War Games advantage a few days beforehand as well as the War Games match. I figure Cole is going to the team captain for Team NXT anyway, but this leads me to the biggest flaw of the card. Why the hell don't we have a lineup for the NXT teams going into go home week? Hell, the Raw Women's team hasn't been announced either.

I really kind of find Survivor Series matches to fall into one of two categories to begin with - either they're bad because you get people jobbing to random nothing moves, or they're bad because they turn into bloated 45 minute nightmares, and either one doesn't mean shit due to the brand warfare nonsense becoming non-canon the next night anyway - but making them three-ways just sounds like it's going to make either problem a billion times worse.

"Zelina?" "I don't speak Spanish." "She speaks English, what's your damn problem you idi... Fine... Um... Maria?" "Up the duff." "One of The IIconics?" "SHH!!! Don't say that too loud, it will summon them and we'll be stuck with them all day." "...Logan?" "Really?" "You're right... Is Nia cleared yet?" "No." "What about Ruby?" "No." "F***. I guess that leaves only one option then." *picks up an old rotary phone, blows a pile of dust off of it, dials a number* "Hello? Are you real yet or what?"

Confirmed over Twitter (shocking I know), Nikki Cross takes the last spot for Team Smackdown

Confirmed over Twitter (shocking I know), Nikki Cross takes the last spot for Team Smackdown That shouldn't be allowed. She had to qualify by beating Bayley on Smackdown. The match ended in a No Contest, therefore she didn't win. So, she shouldn't be on the team. I guess they can say since she helped Team Smackdown defeat Team NXT on Smackdown Sasha allowed her to be on the team. But, I still think that every team member should have to qualify.

I mean, they could make the argument that she didnβt lose the match so it wasnβt a fair opportunity and rather than set up a rematch, they put her in anyway to try and grow team unity, I guess? They absolutely wonβt be doing any of that but still.

I think beating an NXT team being grounds to be added to the team is perfectly reasonable.
What I don't think is reasonable is that the initial SmackDown aside, at every turn in this storyline thus far NXT's been a bunch of losers. Not saying they need to stand tall every single time, far from it, but it seems like they just blew all their competence in the initial attack.

Itβs a no-win situation, like so much of this damn stuff always seems to be. If they stay back after these attacks and fight the onrush of lower carders they send out and lay them out, the attention wouldnβt be on how good the NXT people look, itβd be βLOOK HOW STUPID RAW/SMACKDOWN LOOK, THEIR JOBBERS JUST GOT LAID OUT TRYING TO MAKE THE SAVE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD THE NUMBER ADVANTAGEβ.

At this point I'm beginning to think that Liv Morgan was always just a fragment of our imaginations. I'm guessing a returning Naomi will be the fifth member. I really don't know who else it could be as after Charlotte, Natalya, and the Kabuki Warriors all you have left are people who the WWE refuse to feature in any way in the IIconics, Liv, and Logan. Then again they did put Dana Brooke, who is also in that boat, on the Smackdown team. IIconics seem like the biggest long shot as I can't see them putting one in only to leave the other out. Honestly I think if Naomi isn't healthy Logan seems to be the most likely. It would also continue that epic never ending feud she had with Dana which consisted of them wrestling each other every week on Main Event for seven months straight. Or who knows maybe they'll just have Becky do double duty on another PPV and wrestle twice. Sad as it is I can actually see that as more likely then them having Liv or one of the IIconics as the last member.

If they don't "pay off" the Morgan thing by the Rumble, it'd be time to actually get Missing Persons Unit on the horn. Like, if you're not even in the top 34 women they book on that thing you may as well be imaginary. I didn't think of Naomi. I suppose that she'll end up wherever they put The Usos when they eventually return to TV, but my hunch there is that they'd probably end up on SmackDown so Reigns can kind of keep his family in check, like.

Put Peyton on the team, have Billie Kay with mic on the outside. "I'm supporting my friend Peyton!" and cheers and yells when it all goes wrong.
In any sane world it'll come down to a lengthy Charlotte/Kairi/Asuka v Sasha/Nikki/(Dana?) v Io/Dakota/Candice showdown, and then Brock v Rey has to be a 9 second Rey squash like Mania 25 for time constraints...
