Survivor Series NOT in Montreal & More News

News, Ratings

According to SLAM! Wrestling, WWE — even though it was thinking about doing so, and even announced it as such in a press release about upcoming PPV venues last year — will not be holding this year’s Survivor Series in Montreal… ten years from the famous “Montreal Screwjob.” The event will instead be in Miami, home of The Rock and Layla El.
