Trending
Invasion angles have always delivered when done appropriately. As previously mentioned, the 2016 edition of Survivor Series had a RAW vs SmackDown Live theme. The rivalry between the two brands only intensified in 2017.

SmackDown Live fired the first shot by invading RAW. While RAW General Manager Kurt Angle was about to announce his 5 participants for the men's elimination match, Shane McMahon, along with a group of Superstars from SmackDown Live, interrupted the announcement. The Blue Brand destroyed RAW in the locker room - including Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins.
RAW did not immediately retaliate to the attack. On the go-home episode of SmackDown Live, during the main event between the team of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn and The New Day, fans were greeted with the iconic "Sierra, Hotel, India, Echo, Lima, Delta" theme.
RAW was dormant for a while and it was time for the counterattack. What began as a brawl between The New Day and The Shield consequently led to The Blue Brand's decimation. RAW retaliated in the best way possible and the image of the RAW roster staring at Shane McMahon would be forever etched in the minds of wrestling fans everywhere.
