Posted on by Joseph Currier

With the theme of the pay-per-view being Raw vs. SmackDown vs. NXT, the brands will face off in a couple of traditional Survivor Series matches.

WWE has confirmed two Team Raw vs. Team SmackDown vs. Team NXT traditional Survivor Series tag matches for the PPV. It’s taking place at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois on Sunday, November 24.

It was announced last night that Sasha Banks will captain SmackDown’s women’s division team. Two of her partners were also revealed, with Carmella & Dana Brooke defeating Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville in a qualifying match.

Seth Rollins has been announced as the first member of Raw’s men’s division team. WWE is advertising that all of his partners will be revealed on Monday’s episode of Raw, which was taped at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England yesterday.

Here’s the updated Survivor Series card:

  • WWE Champion Brock Lesnar defending against Rey Mysterio
  • Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley vs. NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler in a non-title match
  • Raw Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders (Ivar & Erik) vs. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day (Big E & Kofi Kingston) vs. NXT Tag Team Champions The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish) in a non-title match

Lesnar vs. Mysterio WWE title match announced for Survivor Series

Posted on by Joseph Currier

The WWE Championship will be on the line at Survivor Series later this month.

Brock Lesnar defending his WWE Championship against Rey Mysterio has been confirmed for the pay-per-view. The announcement of the match was made after a challenge that was issued by Mysterio on Raw tonight.

After Rey Mysterio fought him off with a steel chair at Crown Jewel, Lesnar appeared on this past Friday’s SmackDown and announced that he was “quitting” SmackDown to go after Mysterio on Raw.

Lesnar went looking for Mysterio on tonight’s Raw. But after Lesnar gave Dio Maddin an F-5 through the announce table, Mysterio attacked Lesnar with a baseball bat and laid him out with a belt shot with the WWE title.

Mysterio cut a promo challenging Lesnar to a match at Survivor Series. Mysterio vowed to get revenge for Lesnar attacking Dominik by coming after what Lesnar values most — the WWE title.

The Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois is hosting Survivor Series on November 24. Here’s the updated card for the PPV:

  • WWE Champion Brock Lesnar defending against Rey Mysterio
  • Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley vs. NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler in a non-title match
  • Raw Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders vs. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Revival vs. NXT Tag Team Champions Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish in a non-title match

Becky Lynch vs. Bayley vs. Shayna Baszler set for WWE Survivor Series

Three of WWE’s Women’s Champions will be facing off at Survivor Series.

On tonight’s episode of Raw, a non-title triple threat match between Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley, and NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler was announced for the pay-per-view. It’s taking place at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois on November 24 and will feature involvement from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT.

A sit-down interview with Lynch aired on Raw tonight. Lynch said she’s the target in the triple threat match, mentioning the issues she’s had with Bayley’s friend Sasha Banks and Baszler’s friend Ronda Rousey.

Baszler then interrupted the interview. She said Lynch defeated Rousey at WrestleMania, but Baszler isn’t Ronda Rousey. Baszler told Lynch that — while she won’t take her eyes off of Bayley — she’s going to pin Lynch or tap her out. She said the only thing Lynch will have to think about between now and Survivor Series is which one of her limbs will belong to Baszler.

Lynch responded by saying she’s happy they got the chance to talk so Baszler could feel the same doubt that Rousey felt. Lynch said she won’t be taking her eyes off Bayley either, but she’ll be coming directly for Baszler at Survivor Series. They went face-to-face to close the segment, with Lynch saying she’ll show Baszler who the real baddest woman on the planet is.

Baszler also took part in the NXT invasion of SmackDown last Friday and attacked Bayley after she had defended the SmackDown Women’s title against Nikki Cross.

This year’s Survivor Series pay-per-view will have a bit of a different theme.

During a commercial for upcoming WWE Network programming that aired during Crown Jewel today, it was announced that Raw, SmackDown, and NXT will all be involved in this year’s Survivor Series. The advertisement said “For the first time ever in head-to-head competition — Raw, SmackDown, NXT.”

Further details about what NXT’s involvement will mean haven’t been revealed. Survivor Series is taking place at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois on Sunday, November 24.

The Allstate Arena is also hosting SmackDown, NXT TakeOver: WarGames, and Raw in the days surrounding Survivor Series. TakeOver is set for Saturday, November 23 and will feature the first-ever women’s WarGames match, with Rhea Ripley and NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler captaining the teams. A men’s WarGames match was also teased at the end of last night’s NXT.

The 2017 and 2018 Survivor Series PPVs included Raw and SmackDown’s champions facing off in non-title matches.

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Following last night’s pay-per-view, the location for Survivor Series 2019 has been revealed.

WWE announced via the Chicago Tribune that next year’s Survivor Series PPV will take place at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois on November 24. This will be the first time the Chicago area has hosted Survivor Series since 1989.

“WWE is so proud of our relationship with our fans in Chicago,” WWE Executive Vice President of Special Events John Saboor said. “Allstate Arena, going back to when it was known as Rosemont Horizon, has been such an important partner of WWE, dating back to the ’80s.”

With SmackDown moving to Fox, there will be a change to how WWE structures its “Big Four” weekends starting with Survivor Series 2019. The Allstate Arena will host four straight nights of shows, but they will begin with the go-home episode of SmackDown on Friday, November 22. NXT TakeOver will take place at the venue on November 23 and Monday Night Raw will be held on November 25.

All of WWE’s “Big Four” events for 2019 have now been announced. Royal Rumble weekend is set for Phoenix, Arizona in January, WrestleMania 35 weekend will be in the New York/New Jersey area in April, and Toronto, Ontario, Canada hosts SummerSlam weekend in August.
