#2 RAW or NXT will take the fall
This year, it needs to be either RAW or NXT that takes the fall at Survivor Series and we're more inclined to say Monday Night RAW. Sure, it's the flagship show, but it would likely take lesser damage than if NXT took the fall.
NXT could do with the win a lot more if they're to look strong in the Wednesday Night Wars and it doesn't make sense for WWE to bury NXT and make it look like a weak brand after Survivor Series.
In that way, WWE has certainly booked themselves into a predicament, but it's not an unavoidable one like we saw with the entire Seth Rollins vs Bray Wyatt rivalry.
Either way, expect either RAW or NXT to take the fall and for SmackDown to look like the strongest brand when the night is all said and done. All we can hope that it's team red that ends up taking the big loss in this one.
