The 2024 Survivor Series: WarGames is an upcoming professional wrestling event produced by the American promotion WWE. It will be the 38th annual Survivor Series, the third annual specifically as "WarGames", and it will take place on Saturday, November 30, 2024, at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The event will air via pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming and will feature wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. This will be WWE's first PPV event in Vancouver since 1998. The event will be based around the WarGames match, a team-based steel cage match where the roofless cage surrounds two rings placed side by side.
Production
Background
Survivor Series is an annual professional wrestling event produced every November by the American promotion WWE since 1987, generally held the week of Thanksgiving. The second longest running pay-per-view (PPV) event in history (behind WWE's WrestleMania), it is one of the promotion's five biggest events of the year, along with WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Money in the Bank, referred to as the "Big Five". The event was previously characterized by having Survivor Series matches, which were tag team elimination matches that typically featured teams of four or five wrestlers against each other. In 2022, the event was rebranded as "Survivor Series: WarGames" and instead of Survivor Series matches, the annual event became based around the WarGames match, a type of steel cage match where teams face each other in a roofless cage that surrounds two rings placed side by side. WWE's developmental brand NXT previously held an annual WarGames event from 2017 to 2021 before it became a part of Survivor Series.
On August 1, 2024, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque announced that the 38th annual Survivor Series, and third annual as WarGames, would be held on Saturday, November 30, 2024, at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The event will feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions and will air on PPV worldwide and the livestreaming services Peacock in the United States and WWE Network in most international markets, which will be the final Survivor Series to air on the WWE Network as its content will merge under Netflix in international markets in January 2025. This will be the first Survivor Series to be held in Vancouver and the first WWE PPV event in the city since Rock Bottom: In Your House in 1998, which was held at the same venue when it was still known as General Motors Place.
Storylines
The event will include matches that resulted from scripted storylines. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.
