Team Authority and Team Cena will meet in the main event of Survivor Series 2014 in a match that will determine whether or not Triple H and Stephanie McMahon remain in charge of WWE.
Both sides are packed with high-profile stars – Team Authority includes Seth Rollins, Mark Henry and Rusev, while Team Cena will call upon the likes of Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus and Big Show.
But if YOU were charged with picking a five-man Survivor Series squad, who would comprise it?

Daniel Bryan
All good teams need a workhorse, someone to do the donkeywork and wear down the opposition, and there are few better at that than former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan. The Washington-born grappler is currently recovering from neck surgery but is one of the most indefatigable wrestlers around when fully fit, as his dual showing at WrestleMania XXX showed – Bryan beat Triple H in a singles clash in New Orleans before edging Batista and Randy Orton in a triple threat to become world champion. He possesses a catalogue of submission manoeuvres and an array of damaging kicks and knees, assets that have regularly seen him down larger foes and make him capable of winning a match in a split second. Bryan is a beard to be feared.
John Morrison
If Bryan brings the graft, then Morrison aka The Shaman of Sexy will provide the fireworks. The charismatic Californian looks like his near namesake, the late, great Jim Morrison from famed rock band The Doors and performs in the ring like wrestling icon Shawn Michaels, with his athleticism, panache and high-octane moves. Morrison, a former Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion, is currently working on the independent scene having left WWE in 2011 but his daredevil antics would make him an asset for any team, as he proved at Survivor Series in 2008 and 2009 when he was the last man on his side eliminated. However, the onetime partner of The Miz would add value for his epic slow-motion entrance alone. If you haven’t seen it, check it out now. You won’t regret it.
The Boogeyman
Right, we’ve got two in-ring wizards so what we need now is someone to play mind games and psych out the other side. Bray Wyatt was an option but we’ve plumped for the oddball that is The Boogeyman. Put it simply, he’s plain doolally. This is a guy who wore red and black-spotted face paint, crept to the ring with a withered cane, consumed worms, uttered ‘tick, tock’ and smashed an alarm clock over his skull prior to his matches and once plucked Jillian Hall’s birthmark from her cheek before swallowing it whole! The Boogeyman, who resides in The Bottomless Pit (scary or what?), may not be a master of the body slam or roll out hurricanranas at will, but when you look, act and think like he does, that’s not really an issue. Good luck dealing with this freak!
Brock Lesnar
If our Survivor Series team is going to be the best, it requires The Beast. Lesnar, the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion, is one of the most imposing figures in the history of the industry but his CV also stacks up. The Anomaly is a four-time world champion in WWE and has also won the UFC Heavyweight Title and the NCAA Division 1 Heavyweight Wrestling Title away from Vince McMahon’s empire. Lesnar - who shattered The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania in April – has a brutal in-ring style, mixing clubbing punches and stomps with myriad suplexes and throws, while he also possesses a devastating, arm-breaking submission option: The Kimura Lock. He’d also bring controversial manager Paul Heyman with him, and you can’t turn that down.
Big Show
It takes a lot to make Lesnar look small but this guy would do that! Standing 7ft tall and weighing well over 400 pounds, the always-mobile World’s Largest Athlete is as dominant today as he was when he broke into the grappling business way back in the mid-1990s in World Championship Wrestling. Show’s offence is, unsurprisingly, centred on overpowering his foes but he is not afraid to take to the top rope when needed – though on two occasions he has gone down that route, against Lesnar and Mark Henry, he has broken the ring! We don’t expect the seven-time world champion to do the grunt work in this team, we just want him to bide his time and then hit his enemies with the Knockout Punch. If he does that, it’s lights out.
