- WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs. WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar has been dominate since winning the title at Wrestlemania 33 against Goldberg. Lesnar has defended the title against guys like Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman and come out on top. Over on Smackdown Live, WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles dethroned the former champion Jinder Mahal two weeks before WWE Survivor Series to grab the match against Brock Lesnar. This match is being hyped as a Rocky movie come to life with the bigger champion Brock Lesnar battling the underdog champion AJ Styles. Which superstar will leave as the better world champion??

- WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz vs. WWE United States Champion Baron Corbin: The Miz has been running Monday night's over on RAW as the WWE Intercontinental Champion for the past few months. Over on Smackdown Live, Baron Corbin defeated AJ Styles to win the WWE United States Championship to earn this spot. Miz and Corbin have been taking verbal shots at each other on social media with The Miz calling Corbin a joke of a champion and Corbin making comments about Miz's wife Maryse and their unborn child. Which superstar will leave WWE Survivor Series as the better mid card champion??

- WWE RAW World Tag Team Champions Sheamus and Cesaro vs. WWE Smackdown Live World Tag Team Champions The Usos: The Usos have been running Smackdown Live as the tag team champions, fending off The New Day in title matches. Over on RAW, two weeks before WWE Survivor Series, Sheamus and Cesaro defeated Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins to become the new WWE RAW World Tag Team Champions, after The New Day caused a distraction and faked another RAW takeover. Which tag team will leave WWE Survivor Series as the better tag team champions??

- WWE RAW Women's Champion Alexa Bliss vs. WWE Smackdown Live Women's Champion Charlotte: Alexa Bliss has been running things over on RAW the past few months as the WWE RAW Women's Champion, recently just defeating Mickie James in a feud. Over on Smackdown Live, just five days before the WWE Survivor Series, Charlotte defeated Nattie Neidhart to win the WWE Smackdown Live Women's Championship. The self proclaimed Queen of RAW Alexa Bliss now must face a woman that earned the Queen nickname long before her, Charlotte. Which female superstar will leave WWE Survivor Series the better women's champion??

- "WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match": Enzo Amore (c) vs. Kalisto: Enzo Amore and Kalisto have been in a heated feud for the past month as both men traded the WWE Cruiserweight Championship back and forth. Can Kalisto pull off the victory and regain the championship from Enzo? Will Enzo continue to reign as the master of talking smack and backing it up and retain his championship??

- The Shield vs. The New Day: The New Day arrived on Monday Night RAW two weeks ago and distracted Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins during their WWE RAW World Tag Team Championship Match against Sheamus and Cesaro. The distraction cost Ambrose and Rollins their titles during the chaos. Roman Reigns returned to action one week before WWE Survivor Series and along with Ambrose and Rollins challenged The New Day to a match. The New Day accepted the challenge from The Shield on social media to make this match official.

- "Men's 5-On-5 Elimination Match": Team RAW (Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, Samoa Joe and Triple H) vs. Team Smackdown Live: (Shane McMahon, Randy Orton, Bobby Roode, Shinsuke Nakamura and John Cena): Kurt Angle was chosen as the leader of Team RAW by Stephanie McMahon and ordered to win or else lose his job. Angle chose Strowman, Balor, Joe and Jason Jordan as his original four. Jordan suffered a leg injury and after Angle was insulted by Stephanie for choosing Jordan, Triple H returned. Triple H kicked Jordan off the team with a Pedigree and took over Jordan's spot. Over on Smackdown Live, Shane McMahon has been hell bent on making Smackdown Live the A Show over RAW. Shane took the team leader spot, as Orton, Roode and Nakamura won Qualifying matches to get their spots. With the fifth spot still open, Shane grabbed the WWE franchise John Cena for the last spot. 

- "Women's 5-On-5 Elimination Match": Team RAW (Alicia Fox, Nia Jax, Bayley, Sasha Banks and Asuka) vs. Team Smackdown Live (Becky Lynch, Naomi, Tamina, Carmella and ????): Smackdown Live's team of five were picked right from the start by Shane McMahon as his top five women on the Smackdown Live roster right now to represent them. Over on RAW, Alicia Fox won the team captain spot and then chose Nia Jax, Sasha Banks and Asuka as her first three. Bayley would go on to defeat Mickie James and Dana Brooke in a Triple Threat Match to earn the fifth and final spot on the team. One week before the pay per view, Charlotte defeated Nattie Neidhart to win the WWE Smackdown Live Women's Championship which took Charlotte off of Team Smackdown Live. It was announced that the fifth member of the team will be announced at the pay per view.
