The event will take place on November 23rd, 2019 from the Allstate Arena in Chicago. The next night, several members from the NXT roster will also compete at Survivor Series as well.
Shayna Baszler will also compete in a champion vs champion vs champion match the night after War Games. She’ll face Bayley and Becky Lynch on the show.
