WWE Survivor Series 2016: Goldberg Defeating Brock Lesnar And 5 Possible Swerves

Republished from Forbes

WWE Survivor Series features plenty of combustible elements, from Randy Orton teaming with Bray Wyatt to Roman Reigns being on the same squad as friend-turned-rival Seth Rollins.

Thus, Survivor Series is set up to be swerve city, with WWE likely to pull at least a few shocking twists in order to create some buzz and excitement as we head toward The Royal Rumble and WrestleMania season.

With Goldberg battling Brock Lesnar and Team Raw battling Team SmackDown in a series of traditional 5-on-5 matches, let’s take a look at five possible show-stealing swerves that could happen at Survivor Series.
