About Survivor Series in brief

Summary Survivor SeriesWWE Survivor Series is an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view event held in November by WWE. The first Survivor Series, held in 1987, came on the heels of the success of WrestleMania III. In 2016, 2017, and 2018, the competition was between the Raw and SmackDown brands, similar to the Bragging Rights events that WWE held for two years during the first brand split.

In 2019, WWE’s developmental territory NXT was promoted to being WWE’s third major brand and was added to the brand competition for the 2019 event. NXT was not featured at the 2020 event due to the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting WWE to exclude NXT wrestlers from the event to avoid potential transmission of the virus.
