Survivor Series 2020: 5 big WWE rumors you should know – Backstage plans for The Undertaker's farewell, Roman Reigns behind last-minute change?

#3 Reason behind no brand invasion during Survivor Series build-up?

Survivor Series is surely different this year

One of the most exciting things about Survivor Series is the brand invasion between WWE RAW and SmackDown. Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing that this year. Those who were expecting a tiny glimpse of an invasion on SmackDown’s final episode before the PPV might be heavily disappointed from the following report by Dave Meltzer.

“If you noticed RAW and SmackDown haven’t even been sending people yet because they want to keep those separate because if something happens they only want one brand infected. If you build it up the way it was last year where they had people from all three shows ... if someone is infected from the Performance Center, it’s going to spread to all three rosters because if something happens they only want one brand infected.”

WWE decided to cancel the brand invasion because of the high-risk amidst the global pandemic and want to keep both their rosters safe. So far, we have only seen Drew McIntyre making an appearance on SmackDown, and he might be the only one who will do it once again this week. But apart from that, we might not see any sort of invasion in the build-up towards Survivor Series.
