Who Won The Battle For Brand Supremacy At Survivor Series?

It didn’t go so well for one side. Over the last few years, Survivor Series has been built around the idea of brand supremacy. Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live had formed teams for a series of matches with the team winning the most matches being awarded bragging rights for the year. Monday Night Raw has won two years in a row so it was time for a change of pace. So how did SmackDown Live do this year?

This year at Survivor Series, Monday Night Raw completely swept SmackDown Live, winning by a score of 6-0. Monday Night Raw won both elimination matches as well as all four champion vs. champion matches, with the only one not coming via clean pin being Ronda Rousey defeating Charlotte via DQ. The seventh match, another elimination tag, was held on the Kickoff Show and didn’t count towards the score.

Here’s how one of the wins went down:

Opinion: Well that happened. I’m not sure what the point was in A, having Monday Night Raw win again and B, having them win in such a dominant fashion. This wasn’t close, nor was it exactly entertaining by the end. The announcers were flat out saying that the matches didn’t matter towards the competition at the end, making me wonder why I should still be watching. That’s not a good place to be.

What did you think of the show? Should the score have been different? Let us know in the comments below.
