Survivor Series airs live on the WWE Network on Sunday, and as with previous years features a gauntlet of Raw versus SmackDown matches for brand supremacy. In the main event, the newly crowned WWE Champion Drew McIntyre will face Universal Champion Roman Reigns in a WrestleMania 35 rematch. Also worth getting exciting about: Raw Women's Champion Asuka takes on SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks.

Despite these strong matches, the show is being promoted around Undertaker's 30th anniversary in WWE. Nothing is announced yet, but the odds of us seeing The Deadman on Sunday look very, very high. 

Update after Friday's SmackDown: Otis was added to the SmackDown men's Survivor Series team, and Bayley and Natalya to the women's.

Start times

As with Raw and SmackDown, Survivor Series will air from Orlando's Amway Center, known as WWE's ThunderDome. The main card starts both days at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. If you're a paid WWE Network subscriber -- at $9.99 a month -- you can watch Survivor Series live for no extra cost. Otherwise, you'll need to contact your local cable provider. 

Viewers in the UK will have to stay up late to watch Survivor Series; the show starts midnight Sunday UK time. Survivor Series starts for Australians at 10 a.m. AEST on Monday.
