Can you survive predicting this month’s WWE results? If so, you can choose the closer for an upcoming Cheap Popcast segment. Read on for Dave’s Survivor Series 2014 picks and then make yours!
As we’ve been doing for awhile now, the reader who makes the most correct predictions gets to pick the song that plays at the conclusion of next month’s episode of Cheap Popcast! First, though, a recap of Hell in a Cell. Of the eight pre-announced matches, I only correctly guessed five results, biffing on the Cell matches as well as the Divas title match. The winner of last month’s predictions contest was Ampatent, who notched a perfect card, so ‘patent’s pick will close our next episode.
Anywho, here’s how the prediction contest goes. I’m going to make my picks in this here article, and then open up the replies to you awesome listeners. You will then pick a winner (or if you’re feeling frisky, a rare draw/double DQ) for each match (don’t worry about getting the finish right, I’m just looking for winners if any), and then, just in case there’s a tie for correct predictions, pick a running time for the final match listed (the presumed main event) as a tiebreaker. Just check out my predictions as a guideline.
What does the winner get? Well, you can make your mark on the next PPV-themed Cheap Popcast episode by choosing a theme to close a segment. Pick the wrestler theme and include a YouTube URL to a wrestler’s theme alongside your predictions (including the running time of the final match listed) and I’ll give you a shout-out
FANDANGO VS TBA
Fandango is making his re-debut at the Survivor Series pre-show, complete with a new backup dancer (Rosa Mendes) and some sort of new attitude (even though his old attitude as wrestling’s Senor Cardgage was great). His opponent hasn’t even been revealed which either means that the WWE cares so little that they’ll throw a random jobber at Mr. Dango (like Heath Slater), or bring back someone even bigger in a surprise twist (maybe, I dunno, Rey Mysterio if WWE has ironed things out). I think it’ll be the former, so I say Fandango wins.
TAG TEAM TITLE FATAL FOUR WAY MATCH: GOLD AND STARDUST (CHAMPS) VS THE USOS VS MIZ & MIZDOW VS LOS MATADORES
As great as the ‘Dust brothers are, keeping the straps on that team will continue the repetitiveness within the tag team division. It’s easier for face tag teams to build up a following, and even though they get cheered like crazy (or at least one member does), Miz & Mizdow are technically heels. I think the WWE capitalizes on the groundswell of support and gives the most entertaining duo in the WWE the belts. Miz & Mizdow win.
DIVAS SURVIVOR SERIES MATCH
This has to be better than last year’s mess of a Divas Survivor Series match. Fortunately, that’s very likely, since there’s almost half as many competitors, and the only below-average peformer is Cameron (whereas last year included Rosa, Eva Marie, and Jojo). I feel like this match will set up the next opponent for the Diva’s championship, and said champion will likely be a heel. Therefore, I’ll say Natalya’s team wins.
DEAN AMBROSE VS BRAY WYATT
The last time Dean Ambrose won a PPV match was when he was part of The Shield. Bray Wyatt is making his PPV return. Ambrose has already proven he’s teflon enough to take big losses (especially when something screwy happens, per Wyatt tradition), so I say Wyatt wins. Should be the match of the night, though.
DIVAS TITLE MATCH: AJ LEE (CHAMP) VS NIKKI BELLA
It feels like a monthly tradition for me to pick AJ to lose, but this time it actually makes sense! Nikki as champ could actually work since she’s improved greatly as of late. I feel like the WWE wants to put a bookmark in the Bellas feud until WrestleMania, so Nikki will force Brie into a feud with AJ while she dispatches of the other Divas for awhile, so I say Nikki wins.
TRADITIONAL SURVIVOR SERIES MATCH: TEAM CENA VS TEAM AUTHORITY
WWE loves to throw curveballs at the audience, but I feel like the stipulations make this outcome obvious. The Authority has been a mostly-good storyline that has extended over a year and has run its course. Cena getting his team fired is a bit too outlandish (mostly because with a roster this thin, even kayfabe firings are going to make for some paltry shows), so I say Team Cena wins in 32 minutes. The twist? Dolph Ziggler is the sole survivor and butts heads with Cena over saving the team. Also, I’m hoping Kane gets taken out early and Cesaro gets a spot on Team Authority. That is, if the WWE isn’t done jobbing him out yet… wait, he’s going to lose to Fandango, isn’t he?
🙁
———————————————–
Alright, there’s my picks. Sound off below with your match predictions, the running time for the final match listed, as well as a YouTube link to your wrestler theme pick. Good luck, everyone!
Poor Cesaro is getting raked through the coals just for saying what everyone knows is the truth.
Anyways:
Fandango Over TBA
Dust Bros Retain
Team Paige Wins
Wyatt over Ambrose
Team Cena wins in 36 minutes. Sole Survivor is Ryback who pins Seth for the win after an RKO OUTA NOWHERE.

Fandango
Miz/Mizdow
Team Paige
Wyatt
Team Cena – 35 minutes
Man, I really thought Cesaro was going to go face again on that RAW.
Fandango Over TBA
This next match is hard to pick. I want the Dusts to win for sure, but I feel like Mizdow is getting a good push. I saw Miz and Mizdow win.
I like Paige, but I think Natalya’s team will win.
You know, it makes perfect sense for Wyatt to win, but at the same time wouldnt it be a neat spin of Ambrose pulled it off? Like on Raw, when he did the video recording thing, Bray seemed to get flustered. They could spin it so Dean starts getting into Bray’s head. Ill go out on a limb then and say Ambrose.
Team Cena Wins. 34 Minutes.
and the song just in case.

Fandango

Team Natalya
This is a tough one i’m gonna say Ambrose
Nikki Bella

does it help to guess the sole survivors in the elimination matches?
Theme: King of Kings-Triple H http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_s5PtNiGDQ
Good question! It doesn’t make a difference in my calculations, but if you want to make a guess for fantasy booking purposes like I did, by all means go ahead!
Fandango will lose to TBA because it will be a return or newblood of some type.
The Dust brothers will retain though I would love to see Mizdow and Miz win.
Natalya’s team will win, and I am hoping that Layla gets the pants beaten off of her.
Not only do I think Bray wins, but I am praying this sets up the beginning of a “let me take you to a brand new world of crazy” mentor angle for Bray and Dean. Like Dean turns on someone and looks at his hands with a “what have I done?!??! WHO DID THAT?!!!” look and Bray just pops on screen and starts to whistle.
Nikki will win but only with Brie’s help. It will be accidental but there, and then when Brie’s month of servitude is up……
Cena’s team loses. Cena may beat Russev but lose the war. And Vince will be the one that stops Cena’s team from all getting fired. 33 minutes!
Song: Drew’s awesome theme song from when he still mattered. Almost.

I’ve offered some alternative scenarios here, so please indulge me a little
FANDANGO unless TBA turns out to be a NXT debut in which TBA
MIZ & MIZDOW – I think they will get a short run, either that of Mizdow will implode
TEAM PAIGE
DEAN AMBROSE VS BRAY WYATT – dusty finish no winners possible Ascension debut to side with Wyatt
AJ – WWE will pull a selective calender and Brie will cost Nikki the match as her one month of servitude ends mid match.
Team Cena over Authority, Cena sole survivor after eliminating entire authority himself with a turn from one or more of his partners OR This will probably never happen but they said Undertaker would never lose at WM so here goes;
comes down to 5(Authority) vs 2(Dolph and Cena) Dolph does his underdog flourish thing, Cena does his thing to bring it down to 1v2 and Cena turns on Dolph. Leaving Authority in charge and Dolph as the new Bryan
