The stakes for Survivor Series this year aren't high, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun. That's pretty much the sell for Survivor Series, which takes place on Sunday, Nov. 21, at New York's Barclay's Center. It's WWE's annual Raw versus SmackDown show, with the headlining match pitting WWE Champion Big E against Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

Perhaps the match that may end up getting more attention is Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch's bout against SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair, with their apparent backstage dramas sparking huge interest in the wrestling world.

But of course, it woudln't be Survivor Series without 5-on-5 elimination matches. We'll have two such eliminator matches, one that pits Raw men against SmackDown men and another featuring Raw women facing a team of women from SmackDown. True, the whole "brand versus brand" thing is a bit contrived and definitely lacks stakes. But in spite of that, the wrestling in these champion versus champion matches is usually a bunch of fun.

The show also marks 25 years since The Rock's debut, and to celebrate there's a 25-man battle royale -- one person for every year of Rock, I suppose. Who knows, maybe we'll even catch a glimpse of The Great One on Sunday.

How to watch: Peacock, WWE Network

As you probably know by now, Peacock is the new home of WWE's pay-per-views. The WWE Network has in essence migrated to NBC's Peacock streaming service and that's where you'll go to watch Survivor Series 2021. Peacock has three tiers: Free, Premium and Premium Plus. To watch WWE content, you'll need a Premium subscription. The good news is that'll set you back $5 a month, less than the $10 for WWE Network. 

If you're outside of the US, you'll watch Survivor Series 2021 on the WWE Network as usual.
