The big draw on the Survivor Series card is Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg. WWE recently confirmed that match for the pay-per-view, and it will be Goldberg’s first match since the last time he faced Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 20 in 2004.

SmackDown has also challenged Raw to three traditional Survivor Series matches, and Raw has accepted the challenge. The three matches will see the best male competitors, female competitors, and tag teams from both brands face off against each other.

On the most recent episode of SmackDown, Nikki Bella defeated Natalya to become the captain of the SmackDown women’s team.

Survivor Series week will be a big week for both WWE and the NXT brand. On Saturday November 19, NXT Takeover: Toronto will air live on the WWE Network, and Shinsuke Nakamura will be defending his NXT Championship against Samoa Joe. The finals of the second annual Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic will also take place at the event.

WWE also recently announced that a special taping of NXT will be held before the SmackDown tapings in Ottawa on November 22.
