WWE Survivor Series Returning To Canada For First Since The Screwjob
The November classic is returning to Canada for the first time since 1997.
In a move that is probably long overdue, WWE is planning a return to Canada for this year's Survivor Series PPV.
It will be the first time WWE has held their November PPV, which has been a yearly special since 1987, in Canada since the infamous 1997 Survivor Series in Montreal.
This will also be only the fifth time WWE has held a PPV in Toronto, and it is the first WWE PPV to be held in the country of Canada since Breaking Point in 2009 (Montreal). The last time Toronto hosted a PPV show was in 2006 for Unforgiven. Previous to that, Toronto hosted the 2004 edition of SummerSlam, as well as WrestleMania VI (1990) and WrestleMania X-8 (2002).
PWInsider first broke the news about Survivor Series, and it was later confirmed by Dave Meltzer via Twitter.
