#2 Hope is true: Reason for no invasions ahead of Survivor Series

We haven't seen much inter-brand invasions during this year's build up

One aspect of the Survivor Series build-up we missed this year was one brand invading another and there was a good reason behind it. The reason seems to be the fact that WWE wants to keep the RAW and SmackDown roster apart because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Dave Meltzer gave an update on the reasoning behind WWE’s decision:

"If you noticed RAW and SmackDown haven’t even been sending people yet because they want to keep those separate because if something happens they only want one brand infected. If you build it up the way it was last year where they had people from all three shows ... if someone is infected from the Performance Center, it’s going to spread to all three rosters because if something happens they only want one brand infected."

Despite the fact that this decision did take a little bit away from the build for Survivor Series, it nevertheless was the correct decision by WWE at this time point in time.
