WWE Survivor Series 2024 is poised to be one of the most exciting premium live events of the year as the drama builds, the rivalries intensify and championship matches carry fans. The stakes have never been higher with matches like Men’s and Women’s WarGames and three title bouts. So we’ll explore four strong predictions for this huge show.

Team Rhea Ripley Needs to Reclaim Momentum
In the Women’s WarGames match, Rhea Ripley takes charge of her team against Liv Morgan in what should be a heated match. This animosity between these two crossed a new level at SummerSlam 2024 when Dominik Mysterio turned on Ripley, thus forming a new rivalry between ex-members of Judgement Day.
As much as Liv Morgan has been able to outsmart Ripley lately, this has to change at Survivor Series. Team Ripley requires this win if The Nightmare is to reclaim its position of supremacy. A win here will not only put Ripley back as one of the favorites but also make her relevant for the next big PPV such as Royal Rumble 2025.
Gunther Will Prove Why He’s the Perfect Champion for WrestleMania Season
Since winning the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2024, Gunther has continued his streak as being one of the bestselling forces in WWE. But Damian Priest, dripping with raw power is destined to be one of his toughest battles yet.

Although Priest has gained the upper hand in the last couple of weeks, the smart thing to do for WWE is for Gunther to keep his title at Survivor Series. There is enormous potential for his reign as champion, and fans are impatiently waiting on dream encounters with WWE icons like Goldberg. A win here will cement Gunther’s legacy and take the World Heavyweight Championship into WrestleMania season.
Roman Reigns Must Be Protected at All Costs
In the Men’s WarGames match, Roman Reigns’s OG Bloodline will face the team of Solo Sikoa. With egos being at stake coupled with high tensions, many people believe that internal conflict is going to determine the results of the match.
That said, a loss for The OG Bloodline would not be shocking at all. But the emphasis must be placed on Roman Reigns not taking a fall. Tribal Chief’s character is built on his unshakable confidence and impenetrability. So, losing again after his defeat to Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel 2024 may not be good for his image.
With talks of a possible booking of a WrestleMania 41 confrontation against The Rock, Reigns needs to be safeguarded. That would guarantee he arrives at the big match as a destructive machine that the fans would have anticipated.
A Shield Reunion at Survivor Series 2024 Could Ruin the Build to a Long-Awaited Rivalry
The Men’s WarGames match has caused ripples most especially with CM Punk aligning with the OG Bloodline. Seth Rollins was offered by Sami Zayn and The Usos as the final member of the team. But he declined due to his unresolved issues with Roman Reigns.
Albeit the fan base may be inclined to see a reunion of the Shield, WWE should avoid this. Rollins and Reigns have been moving towards a collision and this particular rivalry has been brewing for years. Reuniting them too early, especially where there are unresolved storylines that have still been built up on the back of what they’re doing, runs the risk of overshadowing the big payoff of that inevitable showdown at some point.
The best thing to do for now is to set them against each other, even though it keeps them apart.
