The ending of Raw set up the upcoming SmackDown Live vs. Raw themed Survivor Series with a massive "Under Siege" invasion by the blue brand. Under the direction of Shane McMahon, Tuesday's roster went around the arena, scouring for any wrestler or personnel member they could find to beat up. The only problem with it all, and this is a big gripe, is that it made little sense.

For starters, the brand split meant minimal before tonight. Kane's return to Raw even though he was last drafted to SmackDown is an example of this. Also, AJ Styles fought alongside two Raw competitors at the beginning of the show only to battle against those same guys later that night.

Being a babyface, shouldn't he at least be a little conflicted about his actions? And most importantly, who really would rush to get up close and personal with every person on a roster that's currently being ravaged by an outbreak of mumps and/or viral meningitis? The SmackDown roster's vile hatred of Raw was not explained and that was a huge storyline botch.

Also, it appeared that Matt Hardy and Finn Balor hang out fully clothed in the shower together. They're adults who don't have to explain themselves, but it's worth noting.
