WWE’s programme listings distinguish weekly wrestling shows such as Raw, SmackDown and NXT from named Premium Live Events such as Survivor Series: WarGames. Use the show name and date for an episode. Use the special event name and edition year for its match card.
Start with the programme or event
WWE’s October 2026 weekly guide lists dated Raw, NXT and SmackDown episodes alongside an upcoming-event section. The episode rows identify the show and venue for that week. The special events in that guide include Crown Jewel and Survivor Series: WarGames. Those entries have their own dates and event identities.
If you remember a particular Raw segment, start with the Raw episode date. A weekly guide can help place it in the right week. If you remember a match advertised for Crown Jewel, start with the named special and year. A promotional segment on Raw can refer to the future match, while the Crown Jewel edition page identifies the card on which the match is scheduled.
Read the match name inside the edition page
WWE’s Survivor Series: WarGames 2026 preview shows how the levels fit together. Survivor Series: WarGames is the event name. Within it, the preview lists a match explicitly called a WarGames Match and a separate Women’s World Championship match. The event title is shared by every match on that card. The individual match listing identifies its participants and stipulation.
For a match you intend to revisit, save the event name, year, participants and match label. A preview gives the planned card. For an outcome, open WWE’s completed event results after the date. Announced matches and results are two different points in the event’s coverage.
Save the date that fits your purpose
An arena listing helps identify the venue and session. The programme or event page supplies the corresponding episode or edition name. Keep the local date and time with the source you used, especially when you are comparing an in-person listing with a viewing schedule in another time zone.
