This resulted in the arena now being able to house 15,342 fans. The last episode of SmackDown prior to the PLE also takes place at the venue. This is the third time the WWE has increased tickets due to fan demand. The first was with Backlash in Puerto Rico, and the second was with Money in the Bank in London.
Survivor Series will be live-streamed on Peacock in the United States. The global audience can catch it on the WWE Network. The match card is unknown for now, as the matches taking place on RAW and SmackDown in the coming weeks will culminate during the event. However, twists and shocks are par for the course with the most rampant rumor running indicating a return for a beloved star.

A familiar face could return to Survivor Series
According to Fightful‘s Sean Ross Sapp, the WWE is planning on showcasing a major WWE star’s return at Survivor Series. This is none other than The Viper, Randy Orton. This is not the first time rumors of his return have sparked. Prior to this, a return on Fastlane in 2023 was mooted. However, that didn’t materialize despite his presence seen outside the Performance Center.
John Cena was facing the bloodline without a partner, and speculation suggested that he could be Cena’s surprise partner. However, LA Kight returned to the final episode of SmackDown, and the duo took on Jimmy Uso and won.
