SURVIVOR SERIES '08 CARD
* Subject to change (and knowing my luck, somebody's gonna get hurt or wind up in rehab)
On November 30, World Wrestling Entertainment presents Survivor Series, one of the original "Big Four" pay-per-view events. This year's event features four title matches, four traditional survivor series matches, and the return of... WAR GAMES!
That's right, this year WWE revives a classic match time from the old National Wrestling Alliance, pitting ten of its biggest stars against each other in an elimination match... inside a steel cage! World Heavyweight Champion Edge will captain a team consisting of his brother Christian, fellow SmackDown! superstar Batista, ECW's Randy Orton, and RAW's William Regal to take on newly-minted #1 contender Mister Kennedy's team of Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho, SmackDown!'s Shawn Michaels, RAW's Triple H, and ECW's deadman The Undertaker.
ECW's three singles titles will all be contested in one-on-one encounters as new ECW Champion Rey Mysterio defends against Gregory Helms, Kane challenges for Raven's Hardcore Title, and Jamie Noble defends the Cruiserweight Title against ECW original Little Guido.
Also, Montel Vontavious Porter will defend his United States Title against the upstart Shelton Benjamin.
Women's Champion Melina will lead a team of Divas consisting of Beth Phoenix, Victoria, and Natalya Neidhart against her long-time foe Mickie James, Ashley Massaro, Katie Lea, and Jillian Hall.
RAW will put on a brand-exclusive Survivor Series match pitting new WWE Champion John Bradshaw Layfield's team of John Morrison, Santino Marella, Chuck Palumbo, and the bizarre Marty Wright against CM Punk's group of tag team specialists, the Tag Team Champion Hardy Boyz and the father-son tandem of Finlay and Hornswoggle.
SmackDown!'s contribution to the card pits Jim Duggan and four of Shawn Michaels' Heartbreak Kids - Brian Kendrick, Bryan Danielson, Lance Cade, and Paul London against Big Show, Mark Henry, Snitsky, and two of Edge's new Edgeheads Charlie Haas and Kenny Dykstra.
ECW Originals Tommy Dreamer, Sabu, and Super Crazy teamed up with Chavo Guerrero and Carlito to issue an open challenge to anyone on any brand to step in the ring with the Masters of Extreme. The challenge was answered by a unique hodgepodge of superstars from all three brands. ECW's lone responder was Jimmy Wang Yang, who will be joined by SmackDown!'s Kofi Kingston, and three representatives from RAW - Elijah Burke, Hardcore Holly, and Trevor Murdoch.
