#1 Performance in the whole year does not matter in Survivor Series
Many will agree with me that Smackdown was the better show of the two this year. Storylines and the matches were much more gripping and entertaining in Smackdown.
RAW, on the other hand, were struggling with their consistently low ratings and dull storylines.
SmackDown Live deserved the victory in the Survivor Series as I feel they justified this with their steady execution throughout the year.
Even though Survivor Series is about which show is better from the wrestling point of view and has nothing to do with the entertainment value or TV ratings, this victory would have felt sweet for them, considering the amount of success they got this year, with Becky Lynch at the helm.
But, we saw Raw defeating Smackdown 6-0 (according to WWE), and reminding everyone that they are the A-show.
This somehow reminds me of Roman Reign's push, WWE will only do what they want to show, not what the fans want to see. If this pay-per-view is an annual thing, then Smackdown clearly did not deserve to lose in such an embarrassing fashion.
I don't think that this is going to tie in some storyline as both shows are moving forward for upcoming pay-per-view and they were barely any mentions about it in the Smackdown this week.
