SmackDown matches that even company officials actually realize may not be a big deal. Survivor Series 2017, however, is set to replicate that concept and rely once again on a series of Raw vs. That same pay-per-view also featured Lesnar taking on the returning Goldberg to round out what was arguably the most impressive non-WrestleMania PPV card since the brand split returned last summer.Īccording to WWE's Key Performance Indicators, the average WWE Network subscriber count still dropped (from 1.486 million to 1.473 million) in Q4 2016 when Survivor Series took place, despite the addition of Goldberg and the loaded Raw/SmackDown battle of the brands. Survivor Series 2016 also centered around a battle between the red brand and the blue brand, including a ridiculously star-studded affair that pitted Team SmackDown's Randy Orton, Shane McMahon, AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt against Team Raw's Braun Strowman, Chris Jericho, Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.

As the brief, two-year run of the PPV suggests, the pay-per-view was not the blockbuster attraction WWE expected it to be. The "new" Survivor Series concept is actually a carbon copy of Bragging Rights, a failed pay-per-view concept that ran two shows from 2009 to 2010 and was built primarily around the fictional lure of Raw vs. Independent Journalist.But if history has taught us anything, it's that the supposed "battle of the brands" concept is an outdated one that doesn't have the drawing power WWE thinks it does. $5.00 of every ticket will benefit Woodstock Farm Sanctuary in High Falls, New York an organization that rescues, shelters and advocates for farm animals.įood enthusiast.
