This is not the only announcement that WWE has made regarding this year’s Survivor Series, though. NXT will have a major impact on the pay-per-view itself as it takes part in the war of WWE brands.
As revealed on Crown Jewel, WWE NXT, RAW and SmackDown will compete for the first time ever at WWE Survivor Series this year. It will be the first time that the black and yellow brand will be involved in a main roster PPV event.
WWE reintroduced the brand extension on the programming back in July 2016 when SmackDown moved to Tuesday nights in a live airing format instead of being taped a day earlier. Since then, Survivor Series is the only PPV event where the two main roster superstars from the two premiere shows of WWE go head to head against each other.
