WWE Survivor Series 2017: Live stream, start time, match card and more
By Luke Norris
A look at the full match card, start time, live stream information and more for the 2017 edition of WWE Survivor Series.
Thirty years after the inaugural Survivor Series event, the second-longest-running pay-per-view in WWE returns for a 31st edition and it’s looking to be one of the strongest cards in history as the superstars of Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live will battle for brand supremacy.
Last year’s Survivor Series was headlined by the grudge match a dozen years in the making as Brock Lesnar took on Goldberg in what turned out to be an absolute squash that left the wrestling world in shock. This year, Lesnar has another big challenge in front of him as a dream match comes to life. Let’s take a look at the event info, including the start time, how and where you can watch the show and the full match card for the 2017 edition of WWE Survivor Series.

Full match card
WWE Champion AJ Styles vs. WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar
With not much interest from the WWE Universe in seeing Jinder Mahal take on Brock Lesnar, the trigger was finally pulled for someone to hinder the Jinder and the man to end the way-too-long reign was none other than AJ Styles. This now sets up a dream match that Twitter is going nuts over. It’s not likely that Styles would ever go ever Lesnar at this juncture, especially given what happened to Lesnar a year ago at this event, but stranger things have happened. The scenario more likely to happen is that the two will have a great match and then Mahal will somehow cost Styles the matchup.
Team RAW (Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, Triple H) vs. Team SmackDown Live (Shane McMahon, Randy Orton, Bobby Roode, Shinsuke Nakamura, John Cena)
Look at the star power in this match. You look at it and realize exactly why Jason Jordan just wouldn’t quite have fit in with this group. There are so many things that could happen in this match that it’s hard to predict which way they’re going to go. There’s big history with Triple H and Kurt Angle, which could lead to something, especially given Stephanie’s threat to fire Angle if Team RAW doesn’t win the match. Conspicuously absent from this match are Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, who were recently sent home from the blue brand’s European tour. Could they show up and cost Shane and company the match? What is Cena’s reasoning for being here? There’s a lot going on here but at least we know that Braun is going to take some people out and that’s always a good time. Another showdown with Balor and Shinsuke could be fun as well.
RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair
In an emotional scene on Tuesday night, Charlotte Flair took advantage of her latest opportunity at the SmackDown Women’s Championship as she dethroned Natalya to become just the second woman to hold the women’s title on both brands. The other? None other than her opponent at Survivor Series, Alexa Bliss. Charlotte has the momentum right now and will probably walk away with the victory here.
Team RAW (Alicia Fox, Nia Jax, Asuka, Sasha Banks, Bayley) vs. Team SmackDown Live (Becky Lynch, Carmella, Naomi, Tamina, TBD)
The women’s traditional Survivor Series match should be very good given the competitors involved. It was a little shocking to see Alicia Fox be named the captain but it’s nice to see her back in a decent spot. She’s always done everything asked of her and deserves a big night. However, the night won’t be focused on her given the other storylines that could play out here. Sasha and Bayley could get into it with one another and get that thing finally going but even those two stars aren’t the big thing here. This is going to be Asuka’s night. Her being the sole survivor in the match is a very likely scenario and it should be fun to watch her battle with some of the blue brand’s top stars, especially when we find out who the final participant in this match will be.
The Shield vs. The New Day
With Roman Reigns finally cleared to compete after missing a few weeks due to illness, The Shield reunion that was supposed to happen at TLC can finally take place. It was a very smart move for WWE to take the tag titles off of Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose to set up this match and also creates a first-time matchup between the two of the most dominant trios in recent memory. This has the ability to be one of the best matches of the night if done correctly with The Shield likely coming out on top after finally getting the chance to all team together.
RAW Tag Team Champions Sheamus & Cesaro vs. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos
Coming off a fantastic program with The New Day, The Usos have more momentum now than I think they’ve ever had. They’ve put on some of the very best matches of the year and are now looking to impress even further on a very big stage in a champions vs. champions match with The Bar, also known as Sheamus and Cesaro. This could turn into a very physical match and could be one of the surprises of the night if everything is clicking. I’d like to see The Usos keep their momentum going with a win here.
Intercontinental Champion The Miz vs. United States Champion Baron Corbin
Of all the matches on the main show, this is the one that doesn’t seem all that interesting. I thought WWE might pull off a title switch to change things up but with them doing that on a couple of occasions to set up the rest of the show, this almost feels like they got stuck with this. Given the fact that I think the red brand will win the night 4-3, I have to go with Corbin here simply by default.
WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore vs. Kalisto (Kickoff Show)
Look, everyone. It’s Enzo Amore vs. Kalisto. That’s all I’ve got here.
