WWE will officially kick off the road to the 30th annual Survivor Series PPV tonight on Monday Night Raw, which will broadcast from Green Bay, Wisconsin at the Resch Center.  The show will feature WWE Universal champion Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman officially responding to the challenge issued last week by WWE champion Jinder Mahal for the 11/19 PPV.  The show will also feature the fallout of the WWE TLC PPV, including Braun Strowman being turned on by his entire team last night.  WWE will also tape Main Event tonight.  If anyone is attending the taping, we are seeking live reports and photos.  Thanks!

Following Raw, WWE will broadcast a new episode of Ride Along featuring Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins as well as Bayley & Sasha Banks traveling together.

Due to the travel back from Chile, there is no Smackdown live event tonight.

Tomorrow, WWE will broadcast Smackdown Live and 205 Live from Milwaukee at the BMO Harris Bank Bradley Center with the announced return of Shane McMahon.  The original plan was for McMahon to confront Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, but Owens has taken time off for a family matter, so we'll see if that meets McMahon confronts Sami or if they go in another direction altogether as part of the Survivor Series storyline.  We are also seeking live reports and photos from tomorrow's taping.

Speaking of Owens, we are told there is no timetable for his return to action.

The season finale of Total Bellas on E! this Wednesday will feature: "In what may be her last WrestleMania, Nikki goes against doctor's orders and gets surprised by John Cena; Brie and Bryan anxiously await the birth of their daughter, but when things don't go according to plan, they need to make an emergency decision."

Set for this Wednesday's WWE NXT on the WWE Network:
