If you didn't hear the news or watched WWE Main Event, it looks like that Cody Rhodes will probably not participate at Survivor Series this Sunday. Who would you like to see replace Rhodes at Survivor Series.

Well the only somewhat credible heels left are David Otunga and Tensai, both who just lost matches during this weeks RAW, so these 2 wouldnt look to credible for Team Ziggler. If I had to choose I'd pick Tensai, but I feel as though they could have better options.
If they really wanted to make Team Ziggler abit more credible then I say either bring back Brock Lesnar or Mark Henry, instant credibility right here. I mean Lesnar wrestling for one night wouldnt hurt, but I understand this wouldnt really make sense since its Team Ziggler now and not Punk, so I think Mark Henry would be the perfect choice to replace Cody Rhodes. They could announce on the night that they have a huge replacement for Cody, or even on SD, and I assure you nobody would be upset that Henry would be the replacement.
Another idea is if this injury happened say 2 weeks earlier, then it'd be the perfect time for Dean Ambrose to debut as the replacement, but again only if it still was Team Punk so he can be associated with Heyman. Would be like Undertaker's debut and just have him eliminate himself via DQ. But since I know guys like Ambrose or Lesnar are highly unlikely, I'm gonna have to say Mark Henry, perfect replacement.

David Otunga would be the perfect partner for Damien Sandow being a Harvard law school graduate and all. Plus he was captain of his team at wrestlemania (which won!) so it fits.

Please just keep Tensai as far away from my TV as possible.

I cant see them bringing someone back as it isnt an expected injury, so they would have little time to plan it.. would be interesting if Fandango or Swagger did, but if there not going to win i dont see the point in derailing them before theyve even started, It'll probs be Otunga or Tensai

This Team Ziggler looks so bad compared to Team Foley in credibility. Especially now with the replacement options they have.

Anyway, I'm guessing Otunga or Tensai.

Otunga just lost to Santino on Main Event ... fucking Santino. I would die laughing if Otunga gets picked. Swagger is like the only choice out of those , but I don't think it's gonna be him.

- At Tuesday's WWE Main Event taping in Cleveland, Ohio, Cody Rhodes suffered a concussion and a strained shoulder, making his status unknown for the Team Foley vs. Team Ziggler match at Survivor Series. In the event Rhodes is unable to compete Sunday in the Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match, Tensai is expected to be his replacement, according to PWInsider.com. Rhodes is scheduled to undergo further testing Friday.
looks like it will be Tensai (if Rhodes can't go)

Tensai would be cool. I realy mark for the guy, and seeing Orton powerslam him is always a pleassure. Him and Kane would look cool as well.

Also, the main reason why team Foley looks so much more credible than team Ziggler is pretty much that team Ziggler has a total of 3 world title reigns where as Orton has 9 alone. Actuall orton has more world title reigns than everyone else in the match combined.
