With no less than a week until Survivor Series, WWE is already paving the way for Wrestlemania 33. The billion-dollar company has dropped major hints for the biggest event in Sports Entertainment history.

Wrestlemania 33 is still months away, but fans are already looking forward to what’s coming. But before that, Survivor Series will be on November 20th. The event will take place at Air Canada Centre, Toronto Ontario.

For the first time since the brand split, WWE will have Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live in one Pay-per-view, going against each other. The one pay-per-view each year that both brands will battle for glory.

The match card for the said event has already been released, and fans are anticipating what’s to come. One of the crucial championship matches of the night will be the WWE Cruiserweight Championship where current Cruiserweight champ, Brian Kendrick will defend the title against Kalisto. The Cruiserweight Championship is not the only thing that’s on the line, but the whole Cruiserweight division. If Kalisto wins, the Cruiserweights goes to the blue brand.

After accepting Dolph Ziggler’s challenge, Sami Zayn is looking to bring the WWE Intercontinental Championship back to Monday Night Raw. Of course, traditional Survivor Series matches will be held, as usual. A series of 5-on-5 and 10-on-10 matches will happen. This means a good portion of both brands’ rosters will be in action, definitely giving the fans their money’s worth.

The highlight of the night will be Bill Goldberg stepping back into a WWE ring after a twelve-year hiatus. Goldberg will go against none other than Brock Lesnar. The dream rematch that nobody expected to happen, is happening again. Are the fans ready for history to repeat itself? Will Brock be able to defeat Goldberg this time?

A lot of speculations are posted online that this could end in another win for The Beast Incarnate. While this could very well be true, some fans are still hoping that WWE will keep Goldberg’s streak alive and put him over.

If WWE does indeed to give Goldberg the win, does this mean that he’ll be coming back as a part-timer much like Brock and Triple H?
On a different note, it was recently reported that WWE officials want an appearance from UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Champion, Conor McGregor.

WWE COO, Triple H, was there at UFC 205 last Saturday night to witness McGregor become the first-ever simultaneous two-division champion in UFC history. McGregor defeated Eddie Alvarez for the Lightweight Title.

Earlier this year, McGregor made pro wrestling headlines after he threw some shade at several WWE superstars while doing UFC 202 Q&A. In the interview, McGregor took a shot at John Cena saying, "What's the main guy? John Cena. He's 40. He's 40 years of age. He's walking around in a luminous orange t-shirt and a headband talking about nobody can see him. We can see him right there. He's a big fat, 40-year-old failed Mr. Olympia mother f*cker."

He also said some stuff about the 16-time World Champion, Ric Flair. "I don't know what to say to Ric Flair. This ain't no gimmick. This is the real sh*t. I've gotta get in and fight a man for real. With no script, with no nothing. He was talking about bringing some other wrestler guys out to challenge me. Come bring it, then. This is the real s--t over here. You know want to come over, we can fight no problem. A few of them are talking about the street and all. If they want to do that, come at me and see what happens."

McGregor also spoke about how he feels when watching WWE. "I'm just speaking the truth. That new age of those guys are absolute dweebs. They just seem messed up in the head. I don't know what it is.” he said.

“When I listen to them talk, when I listen to them carry themselves, they just don't seem right in the head. That might have been a bit rudeness for me to say, but again: It ain't trash talk, it's truth talk." McGregor continued.

"I've got them all wrapped up on my little finger. The boxing game, the MMA game. Now I've got those wrestling dweebs in here as well. I've got the whole sh*t locked up."

WWE is interested in getting McGregor to make an appearance on Monday Night Raw.
