The event, which follows Survivor Series, will feature Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Championship and the crowning of the first WWE Women’s United States Champion.
WWE is aiming for an “old school” vibe with retro-style presentation, and additional 1980s stars may also appear, including Hall of Famer Jesse “The Body” Ventura, who recently signed a WWE Legends contract.

• During an interview with SHAK Wrestling, WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman explained why he believes that Roman Reigns’ Bloodline storyline is the greatest and biggest money-drawing story in the history of professional wrestling:
“The money-drawing years of The Horsemen weren’t this long, the money-drawing years of the nWo wasn’t this long, the money-drawing years of Austin vs. McMahon wasn’t this long. Hogan vs. Savage, Hogan vs. Piper, which put WrestleMania 1 on the map.
So, just in terms of overall storytelling and constant ebb and flow of affecting other people’s environment on the roster and how they tell their stories, I suggest it’s the most significant.
It’s the biggest money-drawing, it has the most longevity, it has held the most interest, and overall it has done so by being the most intriguing and compelling because at every turn you see the characters not just turn towards what the story calls for, but the long-term effects of the development of these characters and the evolution of these characters is never lost on us.
So if something happens that changes Roman Reigns in 2022, we don’t disavow knowledge of it in 2024. It plays into what’s happening in 2024. Because of that, and because we keep it consistent, I would have to rank it Number 1. All false humility aside.”
