WWE Survivor Series 2017: 5 records we can see at the PPV

Survivor Series is always considered to be one of WWE's biggest events of the year. Thus, it should come as no surprise that the company will be looking to create history in a number of different ways on Sunday night.

The company presents their 31st annual Survivor Series event, which for the first time, will see all Champions from both main roster brands go head to head in a number of encounters to eventually decide which is the better brand.

It seems that the stakes are much higher this year than they have been in previous editions, which should make for a much more interesting show.

Even though the show itself is quite monumental, it seems that a number of WWE stars will be following suit and create history on Sunday night as well.

#5. The Shield competing for the first time in more than three years

The Shield return as a trio in the same place the debuted five years ago

The Shield were one of the most dominant factions in WWE history before their split back in 2014, and even though the trio has attempted to come back together and have been seen working together on WWE TV a number of times, they have never officially reunited.

The band finally reunited last month on Raw and had their first match as a cohesive unit on Monday night. However, Survivor Series will be the first time that the former WWE Champions have teamed together on pay-per-view for more than three years.

Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns have made up the field in a number of pay-per-view matches over the past few years, including their triple threat match for the WWE Championship back at Battleground in 2016. This Sunday will mark the first time that The Shield has walked into a pay-per-view on the same page since Payback 2014.

Interestingly, The Hounds of Justice have managed to reunite in time for the fifth anniversary of their debut at Survivor Series this weekend.

#4. The Miz as Intercontinental Champion

The Miz is making history this weekend as Intercontinental Champion

The Miz has been one of the most consistent performers in WWE over the past year and has carried SmackDown Live for a number of months following the brand split in the Summer of 2016.

Miz has held the Intercontinental Championship seven times and is the current champion after winning the title back from Dean Ambrose at Extreme Rules in June. It seems that even The Miz will be making history this weekend when he becomes the first WWE superstar to walk into consecutive Survivor Series events with the same Championship.

Miz successfully defended the Intercontinental Championship against Sami Zayn at last year's event after he defeated Dolph Ziggler just days before the show and even though he isn't defending the Championship this year, he still walks into Houston with the title ahead of his match against United States Champion Baron Corbin.

#3. Charlotte vs. Alexa Bliss

This is the first time Charlotte and Alexa have faced each other on the main roster

Charlotte defeated Natalya on Tuesday night to become the new SmackDown Women's Champion, which means that the former Divas Champion now steps into Natalya's place in her match against Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss.

Alexa and Charlotte are the only two women in WWE who have won both the Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships.

Not only is this going to be a true battle to see who the best woman in WWE currently is, but it is also the first time that Alexa and Charlotte have faced each other on the main roster.

Alexa was switched to Raw when Charlotte was moved to SmackDown earlier this year, meaning that both women have managed to avoid each other up until now. The Goddess and The Queen will finally battle and there will be only one winner. Who you got?

#2. The Shield vs. The New Day

This is the first time these two teams have collided on pay-per-view

The Shield and The New Day collide on Sunday night in one of the most highly anticipated six-man tag team matches in recent memory. The New Day cost Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose their Raw Tag Team Championships last week on Raw, so the Unicorns of WWE knew that The Hounds of Justice would be out for revenge.

Incredibly, despite both teams being on the roster for the past few years, this is the first time The Shield and The New Day have met in six-man tag team action at a pay-per-view.

The Shield's first stint in the company saw their main challenges come in the form of 3MB, The Wyatt family and the reformed Evolution. The New Day never really had a chance.

This could be the only time that the WWE Universe will be able to see The Unicorns up against The Hounds with one of these teams getting their hands raised at the end of the match.

#1. Charlotte's history-making match

Charlotte walks into Survivor Series as The SmackDown Women's Champion

Charlotte isn't a stranger when it comes to making history in WWE as the first woman to ever compete in a Hell in a Cell match and the first woman to main event a WWE pay-per-view.

It seems that it has fallen on the six-time Women's Champion to once again make history this weekend as she walks into her third consecutive Survivor Series event, with a different title.

Back in 2015 Charlotte walked into Survivor Series as the Divas Champion and was able to defeat Paige in their title match and last year she was part of the Raw Women's team as the Raw Women's Champion.

Charlotte now faces Alexa Bliss in their bragging rights match as the SmackDown Women's Champion this year, something that no other woman in the history of the company has been able to do.
