"There is amazing heritage and history in WWE's relationship with Houston and all of Texas. We are excited to work with key stakeholders in Houston to positively leverage that important heritage and build a strong Survivor Series weekend and celebration," said John Saboor, WWE's executive vice president of special events.

What Saboor was trying to say ... Houston has an unrivaled legacy of hell-raising wrestling action and incredible fans, and that's why we're getting the Survivor Series extravaganza.

Survivor Series will be the grandest WWE event in Houston since WrestleMania 25 was held in NRG Stadium in 2009. That one-day show drew 72,000 fans from all 50 states and 24 countries, cha-chinging local cash registers to the tune of $50 million.

This year's Survivor Series will be held Sunday at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. Fans can watch the event by subscribing to the WWE Network. They're offering a free 30-day trial for new subscribers.

The main event has Brock Lesnar facing the challenge of Goldberg, who is returning to the mat wars after a 12-year absence.
