## Production

### Background

Supernova was the first event to be produced in WWE 2K17, and the first to take place since The Reboot of Suplah Brawl. After the extended hiatus following the Sackerfice event, all the Brawl championships were vacated, and the win/loss records of all the competitors were reset. The Brawl Championship would be contested inside a Hell in a Cell match between the six co-hosts of The Suplah, and the Jobber's Chumpionship would be contested for in a 10-man Royal Rumble match.

Also featured on the card was the first round of the Roddy Piper Tag Team Invitational. In the weeks before the event, a random lottery took place to determine the teams for the tournament, with names being drawn from a hat. The tournament would then culminate at Blue Thunder, with the final match crowning the inaugural Brawl Tag Champions.
