    The Lock Up crew are back in the inner sanctum to run the rule over an action-packed Survivor Series card in which Raw, SmackDown and NXT stage their annual battle for brand supremacy. Survivor Series features competitors from NXT for the first time in its history and with them comes plenty of intrigue. Will Seth Rollins remain loyal to Raw? Will Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks take the first steps on the road to renewing their Four Horsewomen rivalry? And will the midweek stand-off between Io Shirai and Kairi Sane be built on? There is also a deep dive into the unique triple threat match between WWE’s women’s champions Becky Lynch, Bayley and Shayna Baszler, and an analysis of how exactly Rey Mysterio could achieve the seemingly impossible and dethrone Brock Lesnar as WWE champion.
