Bad Steven Seagal movie aside, the Under Siege element of last year's brand warfare gave it a vicious spin that while lacking in inter-brand logistics, was admittedly fun. Shane McMahon ruthlessly took Kurt Angle's brand to task, renewing a fun rivalry between the two. Meanwhile, SmackDown stars destroyed RAW, with Chad Gable hilariously pushing Rusev aside just to get first hit on former partner Jason Jordan.

These fun little details made both the Smackdown hit and the RAW retaliation a treat to watch especially as each side saw some combustible alliances form to cause some irreparable damage in dream confrontations. A lot of story elements also came into play, with RAW's eventual comeback deriving a sense of tension through the proceeding month on to Survivor Series.

Just imagine, with Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin at each other's throat, Stephanie McMahon catches them by the jugular and in a shocking turn of events, RAW ends up invading SmackDown. In retaliation, we could definitely see Shane McMahon make a stunning return to lead the charge for the Blue Brand.
