Re: The WWE Thread
So it looks like Survivor Series will be featuring three SmackDown vs. RAW Survivor Series Elimination Matches. One will feature five male talents from each brand, another will feature five women from each brand, and a third will feature five tag teams from each brand:

That's a really big help, thanks Supersonic!

WrestleMania tickets go on sale on 11/18. They’ve also noted to people ordering travel packages a list of events that include WrestleMania, Fan Axxess, NXT Takeover, Hall of Fame, Raw and Smackdown, which indicates that Smackdown may be held in Orlando and if not, is likely to be held somewhere near Orlando.
For the 2018 WrestleMania, it is now down to the final four cities. We’re not sure what they are other than Minneapolis is a city that was mentioned. Minneapolis was originally earmarked for 2017 but Orlando got the nod.
Orton may not be at Survivor Series because his wife is expecting a baby girl and she’s due on 11/22, two days after the show. He was given the week off beforehand and was listed to return on 11/29, so as of right now he’s not scheduled for the show.

Observer:
In addition, Dolph Ziggler will defend the IC title against someone on Raw. Looking at the roster, the names that would seem to make the most sense are Sami Zayn and Rusev.
Stephanie McMahon signed a new three-year talent contract on 10/7 for $500,000, which would be paid based on the contract in weekly checks for $9,615.38. That is in addition to her executive contract.
WrestleMania tickets that go on sale on 11/18 at 10 a.m. will be priced at $38 to $2,130 (first ten rows of ringside where you get to keep a commemorative chair). Travel packages are already on sale. The plans right now are for the Hall of Fame on 3/31 and NXT on 4/1, so that's a flip flop from the past two years, both taking place at the Amway Center in Orlando. Also, both Raw and Smackdown on 4/3 and 4/4 Monday and Tuesday will take place at the Amway Center, which means that Smackdown will probably sell out that week as well. While not announced yet, they are considering an NXT taping on 4/5 at Full Sail University. They are also talking about plans involving fans getting to visit the Performance Center, and if WrestleMania sells out early, doing a closed-circuit at the Amway Arena with talent sent to the show. There is talk about trying to work a deal for a UFC star. Obviously Ronda Rousey would be choice No. 1. Conor McGregor might be but he's got heat with a lot of the talent, but it's not ruled out. Paige VanZant, who was originally booked for something at SummerSlam before she pulled out to do a fight on the Vancouver show, is another time being talked about.

Observer:
For Royal Rumble weekend in San Antonio, it’s also looking like a destination weekend. Besides the Rumble at the Alamodome on 1/29, and NXT on 1/28 on the WWE Network, there will be a 1/27 Evolve show and a 1/28 afternoon Evolve show, both at the Woodlawn Lake Park Gym, located near the stadium. As far as the Rumble itself goes, the WWE this week has moved the start time of the show to 5:30 p.m. local time, which is 6:30 p.m. Eastern, meaning, as expected a nearly five-hour show

Re: The WWE Thread
Why is Nikki Bella team captain for the Smackdown women's match? All other matches feature the champs as captains, so why isn't Becky Lynch captain? She should be.

Re: The WWE Thread
The build for Goldberg and Lesnar has been excellent. Heyman has me buying into this as a big time fight and has been fucking brilliant goading the crowd. Goldberg may have had a shitty reputation backstage, but he and Taz are the two guys who really worked the whole MMA gimmick long before anyone else.
Re: The WWE Thread
Anyone having issues finding cheaper priced tickets for WrestleMania?
