The buildup of Survivor Series has started from this week onwards on WWE Raw. It was evident to happen as the creative team is getting just two episodes to hype up this big PPV event in the calendar. Next week’s weekly episodes will mark the go-home shows before Survivor Series takes over the city of Los Angeles, California. This year, the show takes place from Hollywood.
Well, WWE is not keeping any bound to make it a success by any means. Crown Jewel gave us a horrible experience in the name of some dream matches. So, it is time to deliver some solid PPV events to win back the fans. In order to do so, a final hype up is mandatory which is going to be the target of the officials on the next episode of WWE Raw.

We would be seeing a couple of returns on the flagship show as per confirmations received by the WWE. Stephanie McMahon will be present on her show after a short hiatus. It was necessary in order to address the controversial win of Shane McMahon at the world cup tournament. Some do think that he won in an unfair way including the acting GM of WWE Raw.
We would hear Stephanie McMahon has to say about this travesty. There’s no wonder that she would go to unthinkable limits to seek revenge. So the superstars representing WWE Raw at Survivor Series has to be careful. They are likely to get an ultimatum from the Billion Dollar Princess. Even the permanent and acting GMs of the show should have to be worried.
Brock Lesnar is going to be the other returnee on WWE Raw. He has become the new Universal Champion at Crown Jewel event. This automatically booked him in a rematch with AJ Styles at Survivor Series PPV. Last year, the same lineup happened at this special show. So Paul Heyman will continue boasting about his client’s win from the previous occasion.
However, we can’t miss an appearance by Brock Lesnar. You can never wonder whom he makes his next victim. Alongside these two returns, WWE Raw added another must-see segment on the episode. Alexa Bliss is the captain of the Survivor Series women’s division team. She will choose the entire team although she is not participating in the annual tradition.
To date, we have not received even a single female name from WWE Raw for Survivor Series. Next week, Alexa Bliss will finally declare the five names altogether who will carry the flag for the red brand. We guess Sasha Banks, Bayley, Natalya, Mickie James, and Ruby Riott will be these names chosen from the flagship show to take on against the Smackdown. No doubt, this lineup will be pretty much formidable.
