What is the main event?The 5–on–5 traditional Survivor Series elimination match pitting the men of Team Raw against the gents of Team SmackDown is likely to close the show and should be full of drama.
Team Raw is headed by the WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens, his best friend Chris Jericho, the WWE United States Champion Roman Reigns, the monstrous Braun Strowman and former world champion Seth Rollins.
They will face Team SmackDown, led by WWE World Champion AJ Styles, ex-Shield man Dean Ambrose, the mysterious Bray Wyatt, his rival turned accomplice Randy Orton, and the SmackDown commissioner Shane McMahon.
Raw's commissioner Stephanie McMahon and general manager Mick Foley are likely to be at ringside representing the red brand, with SmackDown general manager Daniel Bryan and underdog James Ellsworth in the blue corner.
Why is Goldberg versus Brock Lesnar such a big deal?
This huge match could just as easily headline the card, with the big question how Goldberg will perform after 12 years away from the ring, against the most legitimately dangerous man in sports entertainment, the 'Beast Incarnate' Brock Lesnar.
Goldberg built an incredible reputation in WCW, famously going 173-0, before his winning streak was ended by Kevin Nash aided by Scott Hall. But he didn't quite reach the same heights in WWE, unlike the former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock.
Their last encounter at WrestleMania 20 in 2004 flopped and was panned by critics, so both men will be anxious to set the record straight and deliver in this hotly anticipated rematch
