In the buildup to Survivor Series, Shinsuke Nakamura has been looking for a new target, calling out a mystery opponent. In his recent promo on Raw, he revealed he would be present in Chicago to attend the premium live event. There is a belief that he will probably lay out an open challenge at the event.
Since Chicago is CM Punk‘s hometown, fans are expecting he will accept the open challenge and face Nakamura if he returns to WWE on Saturday. However, apart from Punk, there are other superstars who might also show up to answer the open challenge.

WWE advertised AJ Styles to return to the November 10 edition of SmackDown. However, WWE pushed his return indefinitely for some reason. Survivor series seems like a perfect event to make a grand return.
Given that ‘The Phenomenal One’ was Nakamura’s first opponent when the latter made his way to the main roster, a rivalry seems plausible.
The return of The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar
Another name that is heavily speculated for a return is none other than Brock Lesnar. He can return at Survivor Series and attack Nakamura out of the blue. He did this at Raw after WrestleMania, where he attacked Cody Rhodes for no apparent reason. Who’s to say he won’t do that again?
Although it is reported that Lesnar won’t be back till next year, there is always a chance of ‘The Beast’ showing up, laying waste to his opponent and heading back.
Will WWE bring back Omos on Saturday?
In the guessing game, Omos is also a big name who could show up on Saturday to answer Nakamura’s potential open challenge. We believe so because it has been a while since WWE has kept him off television, although he has been making appearances for house shows.
