In what has been 12 years in the making, Goldberg makes his WWE in-ring return to take on Lesnar, having beaten The Beast Incarnate in their only previous encounter. Lesnar will have Paul Heyman at ringside, while Goldberg is almost certain to have his family watching on for the first time in his career.

Elsewhere, Team Raw and Team Smackdown collide it what could prove three iconic matches in the form of a men’s, women’s and tag team encounters.

Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins will represent Raw when they take on AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton and Shane McMahon, who will also have James Ellsworth in their corner. However, Smackdown will have the added burden hanging over their heads of The Undertaker’s return this week. Will The Deadman play a part in the bout?

In the women’s team match, Charlotte Flair is joined by Bayley, Nia Jax, Alicia Fox, and Sasha Banks to take on the Smackdown line-up of Nikki Bella, Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, Carmella, and Naomi.

As well as the mammoth tag-team elimination match, The Miz takes on Sami Zayn in the latest defence of his Intercontinental Championship that could see the title switch from Smackdown to Raw if Zayn pulls off the victory, while Brian Kendrick defends the Cruiserweight title against Kalisto that could see the entire cruiserweight roster transfer to Smackdown.

What time does it start?

WWE Survivor Series begins at midnight on the night of Sunday 20 November, with the event set to go on until 03:00 GMT Monday morning.

Where can I watch it?

Tag Team Elimination Match

Kofi Kingston lays down the rallying call "to put the whooping on Team Smackdown", but here they come. Heath Slater and Rhyno head out first, Smackdown Tag Team title with them, and they're followed by Breezango, The Usos, The Hype Bros and American Alpha. With 21 men out there, this could be a busy one.

By the way, is one member of a team goes, both members are eliminated. So Tyler Breeze actually did nothing there. Anyway, back in the ring, the Hype Bros are taking on the Shining Stars, and now here comes Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.

The two teams go to war as all hell breaks loose, and inside the ring it's Enzo and Cass against Rhyno and Slater.
