Match Times

The 7 matches combined for a total time of 2h 09m 38s. This means that 57.1% of the show was devoted to bell-to-bell action. This is the 20th highest percentage in this category out of the 67 WWE pay-per-view (PPV) events in my data set, which begins with Royal Rumble 2013.

Here is the sorted list of match times for Survivor Series 2017. This also includes where each match time ranks out of all 480 matches in my data set.

33m 20s: Men’s Elimination Match (13th longest out of 480 matches)

21m 31s: The Shield vs. New Day (77th)

18m 25s: Women’s Elimination Match (113th)

15m 55s: The Bar vs. The Usos (156th)

15m 44s: Alexa Bliss vs. Charlotte Flair (159th)

15m 18s: Brock Lesnar vs. AJ Styles (166th)

9m 25s: The Miz vs. Baron Corbin (331st)

Here are the approximate survival times for all 10 participants in the women’s elimination match:

18m 25s: Asuka, Natalya

17m 32s: Tamina

15m 14s: Sasha Banks

12m 59s: Carmella

10m 47s: Naomi

10m 33s: Alicia Fox

9m 01s: Nia Jax

5m 28s: Bayley

2m 02s: Becky Lynch

And here are the approximate survival times for all 10 participants in the men’s elimination match:

33m 20s: Triple H, Braun Strowman, Shane McMahon

32m 00s: Kurt Angle

26m 37s: Randy Orton

23m 36s: Finn Balor

21m 55s: John Cena

18m 05s: Samoa Joe

12m 22s: Bobby Roode

11m 32s: Shinsuke Nakamura

Pre-match Segments

The pre-match segments combined for a total time of 1h 01m 10s, which is 26.9% of the show. This is the 14th highest percentage in this category out of the 67 events in my data set.

Here is the sorted list of pre-match segment time for all 7 matches. For some context, keep in mind that the median pre-match segment time in my data set is 5m 31s and the average time is 6m 13s.

18m 22s: Men’s Elimination Match

10m 42s: Women’s Elimination Match

9m 54s: The Shield vs. New Day

8m 57s: Brock Lesnar vs. AJ Styles

5m 03s: Alexa Bliss vs. Charlotte Flair

4m 27s: The Miz vs. Baron Corbin

3m 45s: The Bar vs. The Usos

Three matches received the special treatment of a dedicated video package right before superstar entrances. The videos hyping New Day's match (3m 00s), Lesnar's match (3m 17s), and Nakamura's match (4m 28s) combined to take up 10m 45s of the pre-match segment time.

The pre-match segment for the men’s elimination match (18m 22s) is the second longest one in my database out of 480 such segments, trailing only Rollins versus Ambrose at Hell in a Cell 2014.

Roughly 12m 00s lapsed between the very first chime of Kurt Angle’s entrance music and the very end of Cena’s entrance music. Here are the sorted entrance times for all 10 participants (these times add up to less than 12m 00s because there are a few scattered seconds of silence between some of the entrances):

2m 34s: Triple H

1m 35s: Finn Balor

1m 09s: Bobby Roode

1m 07s: Shinsuke Nakamura

1m 03s: John Cena

1m 02s: Kurt Angle

0m 52s: Randy Orton

0m 50s: Samoa Joe

0m 44s: Braun Strowman

0m 31s: Shane McMahon

The 10 entrances for this match were collectively longer than the actual match between Miz and Corbin. Triple H’s entrance alone was longer than Becky Lynch’s survival time in her match. Of course it was.

Post-match Segments

The post-match segments combined for a total time of 16m 17s, which is 7.2% of the show. This is the 56th highest percentage in this category out of the 67 events in my data set.

Here is the sorted list of the post-match segment time for all 7 matches. For some context, keep in mind that the median post-match segment time in my data set is 1m 58s and the average time is 2m 26s.

4m 03s: Men’s Elimination Match

3m 21s: Brock Lesnar vs. AJ Styles

1m 57s: The Bar vs. The Usos

1m 51s: The Shield vs. New Day

1m 51s: The Miz vs. Baron Corbin

1m 40s: Women’s Elimination Match

1m 34s: Alexa Bliss vs. Charlotte Flair

Miscellaneous Segments

That leaves about 8.8% (19m 56s) of the show for everything else. This is the 60th highest percentage in this category out of the 67 events in my data set.

Most of these miscellaneous segments are crammed into the time after one post-match segment ends and before the next pre-match segment begins. Survivor Series 2017 included 7 different blocks of miscellaneous segments. Here is how long each block lasted, in chronological order:

Block 1: 4m 05s (Then Now Forever; Opening hype video)

Block 2: 1m 02s (Ad for Ferdinand)

Block 3: 5m 37s (Ads for WWE Network & WWE Shop; Backstage w/Bryan and Steph)

Block 4: 3m 20s (Ad for Clash of Champions; Kay Jewelers segment; Heyman promo)

Block 5: 2m 50s (Ad for WWE SuperCard; Jordan promo; Hype for Survivor Series 2018)

Block 6: 2m 14s (Ads for WrestleMania 34 & Clash of Champions; Reddick in audience)

Block 7: 0m 48s (Ad for WWE 365: Kevin Owens)

Summary

The overall run time for Survivor Series 2017 was 3h 47m 01s, and this ranks 8th highest out of all 67 events in my data set.

Here is a listing of how much total show time was allocated for each match when you add up all 3 components: pre-match time, match time, and post-match time. This list also includes where each total time ranks among the 480 entries in my data set.

55m 45s: Men’s Elimination Match (8th longest out of 480 entries)

33m 16s: The Shield vs. New Day (86th)

30m 47s: Women’s Elimination Match (106th)

27m 36s: Brock Lesnar vs. AJ Styles (133rd)

22m 21s: Alexa Bliss vs. Charlotte Flair (207th)

21m 37s: The Bar vs. The Usos (217th)

15m 43s: The Miz vs. Baron Corbin (332nd)

Now here is a look at the "Match Time Percentage" for each match. For any given match, this percentage shows how the match time compares to the combined pre-match and post-match segment time. For some context, it's good to know that the median result here since 2013 is 62.9%.

(Here's an example calculation: an entry with a match time of 6m 00s, pre-match time of 3m 00s, and a post-match time of 1m 00s has a score of 60.0%, because the match time of 6m 00s is 60% of the total sum of 10m 00s for all three components.)

73.6%: The Bar vs. The Usos

70.4%: Alexa Bliss vs. Charlotte Flair

64.7%: The Shield vs. New Day

59.9%: The Miz vs. Baron Corbin

59.8%: Women’s Elimination Match

59.8%: Men’s Elimination Match

55.4%: Brock Lesnar vs. AJ Styles
