#3. The fallout of the Men's Survivor Series match

Despite SmackDown not having their best Survivor Series team, the men's five-on-five match delivered from a quality standpoint. Given how stacked the RAW team was, many thought it would be a clean sweep.

That wasn't the case at all. Kevin Owens made things a lot harder for Team RAW as he simply walked away and got counted out, leaving the team one member short. At one point, it seemed as though Drew McIntyre would win it for Team SmackDown, but he got counted out along with Bobby Lashley in a move to protect both men from getting pinned.

Ultimately, the final four were Austin Theory and Seth Rollins from the Red brand, and Jeff Hardy and Sheamus from the Friday night show. After The Celtic Warrior was eliminated, Hardy eliminated Theory and went one-on-one with Rollins.

He was a second away from winning it for Team SmackDown at Survivor Series, but The Visionary put his knee up and landed the stop to pick up the win for team RAW.

While Rollins as the sole survivor was a good decision because of his upcoming WWE title challenge, Jeff Hardy could be pushed into Universal title contention down the line before WrestleMania.
