WWE is hoping to conclude 2017 with a bang with its final major pay-per-view event scheduled on Nov. 19. WWE Survivor Series 2017 will take place at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The anticipated match between WWE Champion AJ Styles and WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar had been locked down for the event.

Jinder Mahal was the frontrunner to face Lesnar in the survivor series but he was dethroned by Styles as WWE Champion. Mahal and Styles battled it out in Manchester, England on Nov. 7. Mahal had the upper hand most of the time during the match but Styles overpowered him with his signature move "Phenomenal Forearm" and managed to pin him down.

For the 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series elimination matches, Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon will be the two captains to two opposing teams. Angle will be accompanied by Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, Jason Jordan, and Braun Strowman. McMahon is still looking for the fifth member to join him, Randy Orton, Bobby Roode, and Shinsuke Nakamura.

For the women 5-on-5 match, team captain Becky Lynch, Carmella, Tamina Snuka, Naomi, and Charlotte Flair will face Alicia Fox's team. Fox is accompanied by Nia Jax, Asuka, and Sasha Banks. There is still no update who is the last member of team Fox.

For the tag team match, Smack Down's Tag Team Champions The Usos will face Raw's champions Sheamus and Cesaro. Intercontinental Chapion The Miz will also throw down against U.S. Champion Baron Corbin. Enzo Amore will defend his WWE Cruiserweight belt from Kalisto.

The Survivor Series will also feature an anticipated match between Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss and SmackDown Women's Champion Natalya.

The Survivor Series 2017 on Nov. 19 will start at 7 p.m. EDT. Fans are urged to watch the show live to witness the most anticipated WWE matches of 2017. The official theme of this year's survivor series is Kid Rock's "Greatest Show on Earth."
