5 things you forgot about WWE Survivor Series 2018

#4 RAW swept the entire brand warfare competition

Team RAW vs Team SmackDown

In recent years, WWE Survivor Series has been centred around brand warfare, with teams from RAW competing against teams from SmackDown in order to establish brand supremacy.

Fans have mixed opinions about the brand warfare concept of Survivor Series, with some fans enjoying it, while other fans feel WWE puts little emphasis on brand warfare throughout the year, thus weakening its meaning by the time Survivor Series takes place.

Either way, the 2018 WWE Survivor Series PPV featured a clean sweep from RAW, as the brand won every brand warfare match on the main card.

The men's 5 on 5 Elimination match featured Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley (with Lio Rush), and Finn Bálor vs The Miz, Shane McMahon, Rey Mysterio, Samoa Joe, and Jeff Hardy, and the bout was won when Braun Strowman pinned Shane McMahon for the RAW win.

Every other match which featured RAW vs SmackDown was also won by the red brand, with Ronda Rousey winning her match via DQ when Charlotte Flair attacked her with a Kendo Stick. The RAW brand clean sweep would be something Stephanie McMahon would go on to brag about the next night on RAW, and would play out in the weeks to follow.
