WWE started the hype up for the Survivor Series PPV in a great way at the post-TLC edition of Monday Night Raw. It is going to be a PPV based on the Raw vs Smackdown rivalry. So, the officials planned a takeover of Raw by the Smackdown superstars to make the initial hype up of the event scheduled in November.
Going by the history of pro-wrestling entertainment, the fans just love this type of invasion angles where a group hijacks another show. So, the trend of Raw getting under siege was quite a successful one. Shane McMahon led his army to the Resch Center in Greenbay, Wisconsin to make a bold statement to the Raw GM, Kurt Angle.
WWE does not like to play this kind of invasion angles, any more in this PG era. It often turns out to be violent which is opposite from the formulaic shows of the company, nowadays. However, since the first edition of invading turned out to be quite popular, we will see the second one before the Survivor Series PPV.
Quite expectedly, this time around, the Raw superstars will go on to take over Smackdown arena incurring a sweet revenge. It will also set the brand competition on fire among all the superstars present. The question is when we can expect to witness the second invasion.
The general idea was that the Raw brand would backfire at the bygone episode of Smackdown Live. However, it did not occur since WWE officials thought it would be much predictive for the fans. Hence, this has been kept in reserve for a later episode.
Team Red will strike either next week 10/31 in Norfolk or the go home on 11/14 in Charlotte. Can’t on 11/7. Both brands have U.K. shows.

As per hints from WrestleVotes, Smackdown will be under siege, next episode. The show is slated to emanate from the city of Norfolk, Virginia, and should be prepared to witness all hells to get loose. The go home Smackdown edition for Survivor Series PPV can also turn out to be the one for a siege.
The chances are quite high on that night on November 14th considering the show will be hosted in Charlotte, North Carolina. The wrestling fans of the city are quite rowdy and will get a bigger treat with this upcoming invasion.
