WWE are expected to pull out all the stops for their final major pay-per-view event of the year, Survivor Series, later this month.
The autumnal wrestling extravaganza is the company’s second oldest annual event behind flagship show WrestleMania.
It has the coveted slot of being broadcast last in each calendar year of WWE‘s ‘Big Five’ – ‘Mania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, and Money in the Bank.
Survivor Series was historically focused on the concept of brand supremacy.
Wrestlers from RAW, SmackDown and later, development promotion, NXT, would face off to determine which show reigned supreme.
However, since 2022, Survivor Series has been rebranded to be centred around two WarGames matches for men and women.
The signature match type typically involves two teams locked inside a roofless steel cage that surrounds two rings placed side by side.

The 38th annual Survivor Series will take place on Saturday, November 30.

The action will take place from 11pm in the UK and the pre-show will be available to stream for free on WWE’s YouTube channel.
For UK fans, the PPV will then be live-streamed on the WWE Network – it costs £9.99 per month and can be cancelled at any time.

Survivor Series: What has been said?
WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg has announced that he will have his wrestling retirement match next year.
The former American football defensive tackle was recently asked which sport in his career was more physically taxing.
In an interview on Going Ringside, the 57-year-old said: “Wrestling 100 percent… because you’re a professional athlete mixed with a rock star.
“You’re on the road every two days. I was on the road 210 days my first year. It’s no comparison.”
