Hi, I'm Donna, the editor for WWE at EssentiallySports. I help our writers dot their i's, cross their t's, and ensure they get all their facts straight. I am particularly invested in the world of wrestling since it's unlike any other sport currently televised. The thought put behind orchestrating wacky storylines and building hype for months on end is incredible and something that I enjoy keeping track of. Particularly, I like the shenanigans Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio get up to as part of The Judgment Day, as well as watching what up-and-coming talents have to offer over at NXT.

During my time at ES, I have been doing live coverage of WWE SmackDown which currently hosts our “Head of the Table” Roman Reigns. Prior to this, I worked as a reporter for a national newspaper, covering investigative stories on education, space, science, and tech. While these might seem worlds apart, I still enjoy getting into the nitty gritty of stories here at ES, picking apart details and finding out facts about wrestlers that most would overlook. In my spare time, I enjoy delving into my hobbies: writing, drawing, or just goofing off with my cat.

<h1>WWE Survivor Series: Latest News, WWE Rumors, Results</h1>
WWE fans are forced to pick a side every year as their two favorite brands go head-to-head in a major showdown at Survivor Series. The event has become a battleground for Raw vs SmackDown and is one of the most awaited PPVs of the year.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/r/2019/10/31/6eaa3da7-f1aa-42f2-ae52-ef0a5ade6e65/thumbnail/1200x675/3c6697263d05eb83b0a0e147f321c11f/raw-sd-survivor-series.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Survivor Series is the second longest-running PPV behind WrestleMania. It is also one of the original four PPVs known as the "Big Four" started by WWE decades ago as the company took over the wrestling market.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/r/2020/10/28/9cba55da-ab93-49e6-b287-2285bb5eddba/thumbnail/1200x675/9ff147b39f2617203cf88379ff554c0d/survivor.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

It stands as an annual event every year along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam. Survivor Series has been on since 1987 and involves some of the best fights WWE fans can ask for.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2016/11/176_SUR_11202016ej_6132--c847496023840b23b892225b775472c7.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Ever since the brand split, the PPV has been hosting Raw vs SmackDown team matches involving 5 or 6 members from each brand. Apart from this, there is also a Raw vs SmackDown Champion vs Champion match to determine the alpha.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://thecomeback.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/braun-strowman-triple-h-survivor-series.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

The event also features a separate Women?s participation involving Team Raw and SmackDown from the women?s division. Recently, NXT was also introduced as a third major brand and was made to compete at Survivor Series.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/pressofatlanticcity.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/7/b6/7b613b87-016f-561c-856e-9e825fda2c32/5a03bc7f4320a.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C675" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />
<h2>History</h2>
<h3>Origins</h3>
Survivor Series was introduced in 1987 by Vince McMahon. Around this era, WWE started seeing the importance of PPVs and the profits that could be made through them.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNzIxMzEyMGEtMTlhNi00NGU5LWIzMzMtNGI1MjczZTJhOGYwXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNzQzNDM3NTI@._V1_.jpg" alt="" width="624" height="390" data-noaft="1" />

Moving from pre-recorded shows, WWE (then WWF) was one of the first promotions to introduce live shows in front of the audience. PPVs ensured WWF made it to the top of the food chain.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://e1.365dm.com/14/11/768x432/Andre-the-Giant_3230680.jpg?20141118181032" alt="" width="768" height="432" data-noaft="1" />

After the groundbreaking success of WrestleMania as an annual PPV, other PPVs were also put into work. As a second event, Survivor Series was introduced that took place towards the end of the year.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/photo/image/2009/10/12202248.jpg" alt="" width="624" height="390" data-noaft="1" />

The big names in WWE at the time had a huge fan following already. In other words, PPVs were going to be a success with WWF as soon as they were introduced.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hwbaywz8QO0/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

Successfully marketing the first Survivor Series, WWF drew in a huge crowd by setting the main event on the major feud between Hulk Hogan and Andr? the Giant, both of whom were huge figures back then.
<h3>Montreal Screwjob</h3>
<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/002/814/659/48d88ac0a2892a2da9d39a04ba971198_crop_exact.jpg?w=1200&amp;h=1200&amp;q=75" alt="" width="1078" height="718" data-noaft="1" />

WWF received a lot of controversy over the Survivor Series 1997 main event between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Competing in his last ever match for the company, Hart was booked to walk out as Champion.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://a.espncdn.com/photo/2016/1115/r152212_1296x729_16-9.jpg" alt="" width="1296" height="729" data-noaft="1" />

However, Vince McMahon instructed the referee to ring the bell in favor of Shawn Michales at a key point in the match. The crowd was told that Hart had tapped out.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/07/c2d62-15621525610344-800.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="450" data-noaft="1" />

This event sparked outrage amongst the Canadian fans and Hart himself was furious. The event changed the entire course of WWE history and is considered the influencer of a lot of storylines for WWE for decades to come.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/wwe_large/public/2019/01/montreal--1ce71699ede64ae797b851ce09a66645.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="506" data-noaft="1" />

The events of the day at Survivor Series 1997 would infamously go down to what is known today as the "Montreal Screwjob".
<h3>Evolution and Brand Split</h3>
<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/r/2019/11/05/bd15de3b-255b-4ce0-bf50-42855ed9774f/thumbnail/1200x675/413102234c40df2f9a57c8d2e922cc95/series.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Since then, we have seen classic main event matches and Survivor Series never really lets fans down. The event was supposed to be a Thanksgiving show, with the first editions of this PPV occurring on Thanksgiving Day every year.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cdn3.whatculture.com/images/2017/11/c7743e7232bc7ef0-600x338.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="338" data-noaft="1" />

However, WWE later decided to shift the PPV to a week before the occasion. Initially, Survivor Series was a landmark event for the storyline much like any other PPV in WWE.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://images.ladbible.com/thumbnail?type=jpeg&amp;url=http://beta.ems.ladbiblegroup.com/s3/content/e5e791365dd6c5fc359d56e07559c717.png&amp;quality=70&amp;height=700" alt="" width="1244" height="700" data-noaft="1" />

Although, after the brand split in 2016, Survivor Series was dedicated to the classic Raw vs SmackDown matches. During the first brand split, Raw and SmackDown both competed at the annual PPV known as Bragging Rights which didn?t last long.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNjEyNzEzMDgtNmZhNy00YTA0LWJmZTItMTJlMjQwNjE2OTllXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyOTA0NzE2MzA@._V1_.jpg" alt="" width="1284" height="722" data-noaft="1" />

The second brand split saw Survivor Series take up the duty of Bragging Rights. The event has been the sight for all brand wars since then.

In 2016 after re-introducing Raw vs SmackDown, WWE ensured the participation of the Women?s Division as well. Superstars like Sasha Banks, Bayley, Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and others were coming in hot off the evolution.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/qGqrZkd9_d6oWLqSiP1t_H7xOV8=/0x0:1200x675/1200x800/filters:focal(504x242:696x434)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/57642199/069_SD_11172017dg_0010__854a35e1cc7bb1a1506c9b59771566a6.0.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" data-noaft="1" />

Survivor Series 2016 saw the first-ever Team Raw vs Team SmackDown between the Women?s division of the respective brands. It also featured a showdown between the Raw Women?s Champion Alexa Bliss vs the SmackDown Women?s Champion Charlotte Flair with the latter emerging victorious.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2017/11/288_SUR_11192017hm_3175--5fd6317fbe3d1be71bfad546f84613cf.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

WWE has made it big with Survivor Series as a PPV, and we are set to have a lot more of Raw vs SmackDown which has grown to become essential for WWE fans.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/003/708/658/bc030c36699a198f3e4c7d820f787e43_crop_exact.jpg?w=1200&amp;h=1200&amp;q=75" alt="" width="1014" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

It stands as an annual event every year along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam. Survivor Series has been on since 1987 and involves some of the best fights WWE fans can ask for. Ever since the brand split, the PPV has been hosting Raw vs SmackDown team matches involving 5 or 6 members from each brand. Apart from this, there is also a Raw vs SmackDown Champion vs Champion match to determine the alpha. The event also features a separate Women?s participation involving Team Raw and SmackDown from the women?s division. Recently, NXT was also introduced as a third major brand and was made to compete at Survivor Series. History Origins Survivor Series was introduced in 1987 by Vince McMahon. Around this era, WWE started seeing the importance of PPVs and the profits that could be made through them. Moving from pre-recorded shows, WWE (then WWF) was one of the first promotions to introduce live shows in front of the audience. PPVs ensured WWF made it to the top of the food chain. After the groundbreaking success of WrestleMania as an annual PPV, other PPVs were also put into work. As a second event, Survivor Series was introduced that took place towards the end of the year. The big names in WWE at the time had a huge fan following already. In other words, PPVs were going to be a success with WWF as soon as they were introduced. Successfully marketing the first Survivor Series, WWF drew in a huge crowd by setting the main event on the major feud between Hulk Hogan and Andr? the Giant, both of whom were huge figures back then. Montreal Screwjob WWF received a lot of controversy over the Survivor Series 1997 main event between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Competing in his last ever match for the company, Hart was booked to walk out as Champion. However, Vince McMahon instructed the referee to ring the bell in favor of Shawn Michales at a key point in the match. The crowd was told that Hart had tapped out. This event sparked outrage amongst the Canadian fans and Hart himself was furious. The event changed the entire course of WWE history and is considered the influencer of a lot of storylines for WWE for decades to come. The events of the day at Survivor Series 1997 would infamously go down to what is known today as the &#8220;Montreal Screwjob&#8221;. Evolution and Brand Split Since then, we have seen classic main event matches and Survivor Series never really lets fans down. The event was supposed to be a Thanksgiving show, with the first editions of this PPV occurring on Thanksgiving Day every year. However, WWE later decided to shift the PPV to a week before the occasion. Initially, Survivor Series was a landmark event for the storyline much like any other PPV in WWE. Although, after the brand split in 2016, Survivor Series was dedicated to the classic Raw vs SmackDown matches. During the first brand split, Raw and SmackDown both competed at the annual PPV known as Bragging Rights which didn?t last long. The second brand split saw Survivor Series take up the duty of Bragging Rights. The event has been the sight for all brand wars since then. In 2016 after re-introducing Raw vs SmackDown, WWE ensured the participation of the Women?s Division as well. Superstars like Sasha Banks, Bayley, Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and others were coming in hot off the evolution. Survivor Series 2016 saw the first-ever Team Raw vs Team SmackDown between the Women?s division of the respective brands. It also featured a showdown between the Raw Women?s Champion Alexa Bliss vs the SmackDown Women?s Champion Charlotte Flair with the latter emerging victorious. WWE has made it big with Survivor Series as a PPV, and we are set to have a lot more of Raw vs SmackDown which has grown to become essential for WWE fans. How do I watch WWE Survivor Series 2020?

<h2 style="text-align: center">CM Punk: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
Phillip Jack Brooks, better known as CM Punk, is an American professional wrestler currently signed with WWE and outcasted from All Elite Wrestling (AEW). He is a retired mixed martial artist who competed in the UFC. Punk also works as a commentator for Cage Of Fury fighting championships, a comic book writer, and an actor.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>What is the net worth of CM Punk?</b></h2>
As per CelebrityNetWorth, the net worth of CM Punk as of January 2024 is estimated to be $12 million. Punk is paid handsomely as a part of the WWE. Before that, he was the highest-earning ECW star in 2006-2008, earning around $200,000 to $300,000 annually. In WWE, he was earning $1 million annually in 2011.

The figure went up to 1.3 million in 2012-13. It touched $1.7 million in 2013-14. He was the cover star of the WWE 2K13 video game, which earned him another $200,000. CM Punk had earned enough brand value to earn millions wherever he went after he left WWE. That's why UFC was ready to pay him well, even as a novice. His first fight got him $500,000.

He got more out of the PPV revenue, which pushed his earnings past the one million mark. He was paid $503,500 for his second appearance. An additional $500,000 was given as an appearance fee and $3500 as a fight incentive. Punk's salary following his comeback to WWE after over nine years is kept under wraps as of now.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>All we need to know about the family of CM Punk?</b></h2>
Not much is known about CM Punk's family as, despite ruling headlines owing to his successful professional career, he has managed to keep his personal life away from the limelight. The only fact known about his parents is that his father was an architectural engineer while his mother was a homemaker. The former mixed martial artist also has five siblings.

His elder brother goes by the name Mike Brooks, while he also has a younger sister named Chaleen Lee Creeks. Meanwhile, no information is available about his other three siblings. Speaking of his love life, Punk married the American author AJ Lee, also known as April Jeanette Mendez, in June 2014.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>CM Punk’s record in professional wrestling</b></h2>
Of the many hats he has donned, Punk is most famous for his professional wrestling stint that saw him revolutionize the WWE. Starting with Ring of Honor, Punk made his WWE debut in 2005. After being a mid-card wrestler for years, his rivalry with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena">John Cena</a> finally pushed him to the stratosphere.

He was the perfect anti-hero to the larger-than-life superhero persona of Cena. However, fans were firmly behind Punk and booed the face of the company to support the Straight Edge Superstar. His breakout moment was the famous pipe-bomb promo where he created an illusion of going off script and bashing Vince McMahon and his handling of the promotion. It did not go unnoticed as Punk began a record-breaking reign with the WWE title, which saw him remain champion for 434 days.

[caption id="attachment_1815695" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1815695 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0013342344h.jpg" alt="CM Punk" width="1920" height="1344" /> Credits: Imago[/caption]

That was not the only record he held in the company. Punk is a 3-time World Heavyweight Champion (WWE), 2-time WWE Champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion, World Tag Team Champion, and the winner of the 2008 and 2009 Money In The Bank ladder matches. CM Punk is the 7th longest-reigning WWE Champion of all time.

However, after all this, he had a tragic fallout with WWE over the alleged mishandling of his health and inappropriate booking. This saw Punk leaving professional wrestling for good and joining the UFC as a mixed martial artist.

Despite bringing a lot of attention, his MMA career in the Welterweight division was a flop, with him losing both his fights. After being away from WWE for over nine years, Punk made an unexpected comeback in November 2023.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>All about CM Punk’s charity</b></h2>
CM Punk has been a quite charitable superstar throughout his career. He has fulfilled many wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, as well as a similar charity called the Kids Wish Network.

Punk also joined Kerry Wood's Strike Zone Bowling Tournament, a tournament that sets out to improve the health of Chicago children through healthy eating and enhanced education. He has also painted customized chairs for the Chicago Cubs to be auctioned off, and in 2015, he auctioned off his first car, a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo to charity.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>CM Punk’s theme song</b></h2>
CM Punk has 'Cult of Personality' as his theme song. The song came out in 1988 and formed a part of the debut album 'Vivid' by the American rock band Living Colour.
