It looks like we could be heading towards another triple threat match at Survivor Series. That would be the United States Champion vs the Intercontinental Champion vs the NXT North American Champion. As of right now, that would be AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura vs Roderick Strong.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscribe here), he was told that we won’t be seeing that exact match (Styles vs Nakamura vs Strong).
That means either Nakamura or Styles could be losing their belts before Survivor Series. Here is what Meltzer wrote:
For Survivor Series, the plan was for a three secondary title match, Nakamura vs. Roderick Strong vs. Styles. I don’t know this is happening, and was only told the plan was that it wouldn’t be that exact match, meaning either Nakamura or Styles loses before that date. Styles stuff has all been changed due to the NXT program he’s doing. But the most interesting aspect is that Bryan is doing a program with Nakamura, so there is a chance of a Strong vs. Bryan vs. Styles match if Nakamura was the change expected for that match. If given time, that could be as good a main roster bout as there has been this year.
Keep in mind that is reading something into it and when it comes to something like that, even if planned this week, that can change five times in the next week. But we do know that before the Styles program with NXT was put together, he was earmarked to be champion on 11/24
My Take: Styles vs Strong vs Nakamura would likely be really good. So would Styles vs Strong vs Bryan. Either way, I am excited as we will be seeing a really good match.
