WWE Survivor Series 2021 is upon us with a Raw vs. SmackDown theme for the big PPV event and we have all the info you need.
Brand warfare has been the theme of the Survivor Series since the WWE brand extension was re-introduced in 2016.
As laughable as the tagline “The one time of year where Raw and Smackdown go head-to-head” (let alone how most of the men’s Survivor Series teams participants were only drafted to their respective brands last month) may be, the Survivor Series still has a long, rich history for the WWE as its Thanksgiving Week pay-per-view event.
This year, there will be six Raw vs. Smackdown matchups scheduled for the pay-per-view card, including a men’s and women’s 5-on-5 Survivor Series elimination match, as well as the usual four champion vs. champion matchups.
What time does WWE Survivor Series 2021 start?
The action gets underway at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Peacock in the United States and WWE Network everywhere else. A kickoff pre-show event will air one hour earlier and feature a 25-man battle royal in honor of the 25th anniversary of The Rock’s WWE debut.
