WWE has confirmed several non-title Champion vs. Champion matches for the Survivor Series 2020 pay-per-view event during this week’s Raw. Previously, it was rumored that they were abandoning the Raw vs SmackDown theme while focusing on The Undertaker’s 30th anniversary but that isn’t going to be the case as per the current lineup announced.
Keith Lee, AJ Styles, and Sheamus have qualified for the men’s Team from RAW at Survivor Series 2020. Three matches went down this week to determine the members of Raw Men’s team. AJ Styles faced Jeff Hardy to kick off the spree where he pinned Hardy with a Phenomenal Forearm to cement his spot.

Survivor Series 2020: WWE Confirms Several Matches For The PPV Event
Keith Lee faced Elias in the second match as the latter lost the Survivor Series 2020 Qualifier match, thanks to Jeff Hardy’s distraction. The feud between these two seems far from over. Matt Riddle and Sheamus faced off in the third qualifying match. Despite Riddle’s best efforts, The Celtic Warrior planted him with a Brogue Kick to secure the big win and make it to the PPV.
It was then announced that Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Dana Brooke, and Mandy Rose will represent Team Raw at Survivor Series 2020. They had one member left to announce which was later determined through a Fatal-4-Way Match with the lineup of Lana vs Peyton Royce vs Lacey Evans vs Nikki Cross. The end witnessed Lana stealing the win to secure the fifth and final spot but she was eventually put through the announce table by Nia Jax.
Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler had a little miscommunication over who the team captain would be. But they still managed to be on the same page as Nia Jax drove Lana through the announce table which marked her sixth bump through the table in recent memory.
In addition, it was also confirmed that Survivor Series 2020 will witness a battle between the United States Champion and the Intercontinental Champion while the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champions will also go head to head. Also, the respective tag team champions from both the brands will clash in another Champion vs Champion matchup.
