WWE announces another match for Survivor Series
WWE has announced a dual-brand Battle Royal for the Survivor Series kickoff show. The match will feature several lower and upper mid-card Superstars from RAW and SmackDown, and it will get the ball rolling for a night dedicated to the brand wars theme. As of this writing, WWE has not announced the participants of the match.
WWE issued the following statement while announcing the match:
The battle of The Best of the Best will start off with fireworks, as Raw and SmackDown Superstars will clash in a Dual-Brand Battle Royal on the Survivor Series Kickoff. Who will step up for the red and blue brands to send the night's first message? Don't miss the Survivor Series Kickoff at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, TikTok, and the award-winning WWE Network.
As you may have noticed, the match doesn't have anything at stake, which is similar to the rest of the card's matches.
The Survivor Series main card currently features six matches. The biggest match of the event is the Champion vs. Champion clash between Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre. The other Champions of RAW and SmackDown will also face each other, with the two remaining traditional Elimination matches rounding up the card.
