The WWE calls its product "sports entertainment" since its matches mix athletics with theatrics.² Though the outcomes of professional wrestling contests are predetermined, they are never disclosed until the bouts happen.

Scripted feuds involving the WWE wrestlers are played out in the ring, and the results either advance or conclude a storyline.

As one of the last yearly WWE pay-per-views, the Survivor Series generally wraps up storylines in preparation for the new year. In the late 1980s, the typical Series card featured only tag team elimination matches. The event now holds matches of all types, including the Elimination Chamber.
