One major change on the road to Toronto.

WWE's second inter-brand PPV of the 2016 Brand Split comes live from Toronto's Air Canada Centre this Sunday night. It's the first time Raw and SmackDown will have collided since August's SummerSlam, and WWE have no excuse for not delivering after doing a good job of building the brand vs. brand rivalry this week.

Last night's SmackDown brought one major change to the card. Sami Zayn was originally set to fight Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship, but fate (and Maryse) conspired against the Show-Off on SmackDown. He lost his title to The Miz, who'll now defend the strap against Sami.

Every match comes with huge implications. The IC and Cruiserweight Championships could feasibly change brands on Sunday night, and there's an immense amount of bragging rights up for grabs in the three traditional Survivor Series Elimination matches. Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar, meanwhile, will likely be the last match of the former WCW Champion's career, and he'll be desperate to go out on a high.
