WWE already booked a stacked card for Survivor Series 2020 PPV. Most of the matches for that show have been made official, the night after Hell In A Cell as the Brand vs Brand theme is intact for the final Big-Four PPV of the year. Traditional elimination tag team matches as well as all champion vs champion matches have been determined.
Usually, these champion vs champion bookings doesn’t create enough rooms for buildups or fallouts. Additionally, WWE didn’t either plan for trespassing between Raw or SmackDown, either for Survivor Series. So they have to go with the ongoing championship angles, itself leading up to the show. The point is that they can’t be making title matches either, keeping the PPV in mind.

At present, WWE is spending their time while setting up these title matches that fans won’t see for a while, at least until the PPV event is over. Survivor Series doesn’t allow those title matches to take place, for sure while they have to think twice to conduct those matches on weekly shows as these courses cause major lineup change for Survivor Series.

Survivor Series 2020: WWE Pushing Back Title Matches For PPV
The company did book title switches during the build for Survivor Series in the past few years. Jinder Mahal lost the WWE Title to AJ Styles weeks before the Modern Day Maharaja was set to collide against Brock Lesnar. The very next year, Styles lost the belt to Daniel Bryan so that the latter name could take on Lesnar in a David vs Goliath encounter.
At this point, WWE is building toward Bray Wyatt vs Randy Orton in the WWE Title match. Drew McIntyre is also in the mix but the overall build would be very slow. Dave Meltzer additionally noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that The New Day’s loss to the Hurt Business was to set up a future title match. This would be a fresh match but it wouldn’t be taking place until and unless Survivor Series gets over.
The current plan is to conduct The New Day vs The Street Profits at Survivor Series. The respective Women’s Champions from Raw and SmackDown, Asuka and Banks as well as the mid-card title-holders, Zayn and Lashley will have to wait for the next challengers due to the same above mentioned reason. Unless Sasha loses to Bayley on SmackDown, The Boss vs The Empress Of Tomorrow will go down again on November 22nd.
