WWE 'Survivor Series' 2013 Preview With Match Card and Predictions

One of WWE's biggest pay-per-views of the year, "Survivor Series" is taking place Sunday night Nov. 24 starting at 8pm ET. "Survivor Series" 2013 is highlighted by two championship matches between Randy Orton and the Big Show for the WWE championship and John Cena versus Alberto Del Rio for the heavyweight championship. However, the match card is lacking that "must see" match and the traditional "Survivor Series" match seems thrown together at the last minute.

In my opinion this year's traditional "Survivor Series" match is lacking the hype and buildup of past years. I actually think this year's match will be the match of the night, but I was hoping for more singles main event competitors going 5 on 5. Actually, I think "Raw's" main event match featuring The Shield and Wyatt family against CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Goldust, Cody Rhodes, & the Usos would have been perfect.

The two main event matches are also lacking any intrigue. Despite the WWE trying to make both Orton and Cena seem vulnerable heading into Sunday night's pay-per-view it would be considered a shock if either Orton or Cena don't retain their championships. If fans feel like they already know the outcome and aren't expecting any surprises then this could hurt the show. Although it may not make sense on paper, WWE would be smart to throw fans a curveball tonight and have either Big Show or De Rio win.

WWE's kickoff show will start at 7:30pm ET and will feature a match between Kofi Kingston and The Miz. If you want to watch the online live stream for free you can at WWE.com, the WWE app, YouTube, Facebook, Yahoo!, Google + and more. You can learn more here on WWE.com.

The match card with my predictions is as follows:

Kofi Kingston vs. The Miz (Kickoff Match) - In order to give The Miz some momentum with his new heel turn I see him winning this match.

Big E Langston vs. Curtis Axel (Intercontinental Championship) - Langston is getting the push here, so I don't see Axel having much of a chance at winning this match.

Natalya, The Bellas, The Funkadactyls, Jojo & Eva Marie vs. AJ Lee, Tamina Snuka, Kaitlyn, Rosa Mendes, Summer Rae, Aksana & Alicia Fox - With "Total Divas" back on E! I see the stars of the show getting the victory here.

Cody Rhodes & Goldust, The Usos, & Rey Mysterio vs. The Shield & The Real Americans - I predict this will be by far the match of the night. Everyone one of these guys in the match are tremendous wrestlers and it should be very entertaining. I think the good guys win this one with Mysterio just recently returning.

CM Punk & Daniel Bryan vs. Luke Harper & Erick Rowan - I wish Punk and Bryan were somehow in the traditional "Survivor Series" match, but this will still be an entertaining match. However, I can't help but feel like this is more of a match made for "Raw" or "Smackdown." I'm going for the upset here and I think Bray Wyatt helps Harper and Rowan win this.

John Cena vs. Alberto Del Rio (World Heavyweight Championship) - I like Del Rio and I think he is a good main eventer, but I feel like he has been in the world heavyweight championship picture way too much over the past year. I don't see any way Cena doesn't retain the title here.

Randy Orton vs. Big Show (WWE Championship) - I am a huge Big Show fan, but even I don't think this is the right match. Bryan should be winning the WWE championship from Orton in this match while Big Show continues his feud with Triple H. Big Show and Triple H had a great feud going and this seems like the wrong move. Plus I don't think anyone believes Big Show is going to win this match, which is not good considering this is supposed to be the main event. I think Orton retains the title here.
