Team DX vs. Team Legacy 8-Man Match At Survivor Series?
According to some reports, there's a strong possibility that the DX/Legacy feud will continue following this Sunday's "Hell In A Cell" pay-per view, formulating in a traditional 8-man team match at the "Survivor Series" PPV in November. Of course, this would mean the program extends past the upcoming "Bragging Rights" PPV at the end of October as well.
