Updated Card For WWE Survivor Series 2016
WWE's November PPV is taking shape.
This year's Survivor Series broadcasts live from Toronto on November 20th. It's still two and a half weeks away, but the card is really coming together, and last night's SmackDown saw several new additions.
Daniel Bryan announced that Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose, Baron Corbin, and WWE World Champion AJ Styles would comprise Team SmackDown in the men's 5-on-5 match. As revealed on Raw, Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Braun Strowman, and Roman Reigns will all feature on the red side, with the final participant to be determined.
SmackDown also brought the news that Natalya would act as SmackDown's coach in the women's match, and that captain Nikki Bella would be joined by a combustible team of Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Carmella, and Naomi. Furthermore, The Usos and American Alpha joined the 10-on-10 tag match, leaving a single spot to fill.
Dolph Ziggler also laid down an open challenge to any Raw superstar who wished to challenge for his Intercontinental Title at the event. Goldberg and Brock Lesnar's long-awaited WrestleMania XX rematch was the first match to be set in stone back on October 25th, following Goldberg's WWE return 8 days prior.
