Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Survivor Series 2024 and Ronda Rousey.
• WWE has confirmed that Survivor Series 2024 will take place at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on Saturday, November 30. The plan for the main event is centered around the top storyline on SmackDown.
In recent years, WWE has revitalized Survivor Series with the WarGames concept, moving away from the traditional RAW vs. SmackDown format. This year’s headliner is scheduled to involve Roman Reigns, who recently returned at SummerSlam, interfering in Solo Sikoa’s bid for the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes. Since then, Reigns and Sikoa have clashed on SmackDown, with Reigns gaining the upper hand before being attacked by Jacob Fatu.
According to PWN, WWE is planning a main event featuring Solo Sikoa leading a team against Roman Reigns’ group in the long-speculated New Bloodline vs. Original Bloodline match at Survivor Series.
While it’s unclear who will join Reigns’ team, The Usos are likely candidates, with Fatu, Sikoa, and the Tongas expected to make up the opposing team.
Since Reigns will need a 4th member, “Honorary Uce” Sami Zayn is expected to reunite with Reigns for this match.

• Ronda Rousey has confirmed the reason behind her departure from WWE, which occurred after her match against Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam 2023, surprising many fans.
Many fans thought she left because of creative issues, but that’s not the case.
Rousey made a brief return to wrestling during Pro Wrestling Revolver’s Unreal event in 2023, where she teamed up with Marina Shafir against Athena and Billie Starkz. She also made her ROH debut in a one-off match in November. Since then, Rousey has not competed, and her future in wrestling remains uncertain.
In an interview on the Pretty Intense podcast with Danica Patrick, Rousey revealed that her WWE exit was due to a neurological injury. She explained that her condition prevents her from handling impacts to the head.
Rousey expressed her longing for activities like rolling and grappling, which involve sparring without hitting, but acknowledged that her past neurological injuries make it impossible for her to endure head impacts or unnecessary blows. She noted that these injuries accumulate over time and do not fully heal.
Here’s what she said:
“I also miss rolling, which is like sparring on the ground. I miss grappling, which is sparring without hitting each other. But with my history of neurological injuries, I can’t take hits to the head anymore or endure impacts beyond what’s necessary. So, I can’t really do it for fun.
Neurological injuries accumulate over time, and it’s not something you recover from—they just build up.”
