The brand vs. brand rivalry remains the main focus of this particular show of the year. We have seen some dream matches at Survivor Series which was cross-brand affairs. The same will happen on November 18th of this year.
Survivor Series is also famous for the traditional 5-on-5 elimination tag team matches. Over the years, we have seen superstars teaming up in this particular match to deliver historic and intense matches. So this one would be there on the match card. The theme of this tag match will pick up from the flagship brand of the WWE i.e. Raw.
As per previous reports from WrestleVotes, there will be a storyline picking up between Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin on WWE Raw. They are already having fall-outs over the authoritative power. It has gone even bigger as Kurt Angle has been a bar for Corbin’s heel antics for the past few weeks. So this should culminate a tag team match between Team Angle vs. Team Corbin.
