WWE has officially announced that acting-General Manager Baron Corbin will captain a team of superstars from Monday Night Raw, who will compete against five names from Smackdown Live at next weekend’s Survivor Series pay-per-view in Las Angeles.
So far, both Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre have been announced for Team Raw, as well as the “Monster Among Men” Braun Strowman. As “team manager”, Corbin has opted not to compete in the bout himself, which is also a good way to make sure he doesn’t get mauled by Strowman.
As previously announced, there will also be a tradition 5-on-5 women’s match at Survivor Series. Five-time women’s champion Alexa Bliss has been chosen to “manage” Team Raw for the women, and will announce all five members of her team next week on WWE Raw.
With only one episode of Raw remaining next week in Kansas City, and two episodes of Smackdown Live remaining, expect to see a lot of announcements made in a very short period of time to start filling up the card.
