Survivor Series has been a Raw vs. SmackDown themed show ever since the reintroduction of the brand extension but WWE has confirmed a major change to this dynamic for this year’s edition of the event.
The company announced during Crown Jewel that this year’s edition of the PPV will also feature stars from NXT, who will be competing against the other rosters of the company:
WWE reintroduced the brand extension on its programming back in July 2016 when SmackDown moved to Tuesday nights from Fridays and the show started airing live instead of being taped a day earlier.
Since then, Survivor Series has been branded as a PPV event where the rosters of the two premiere shows of WWE meet for one night and compete with each other.
The event usually features the champions from both the brands competing in various bouts and teams of male and female stars from both rosters going against each other in traditional Survivor Series elimination matches.
It’s unknown how the inclusion of NXT will affect this dynamic but we’ll keep you posted on the matter as WWE releases more details on the upcoming PPV.
Survivor Series 2019 will take place on November 24 from Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois
