7 unpopular decisions made in 2018

#2 Raw getting a whitewash victory at Survivor Series

Survivor Series should never have ended in a whitewash.

For the third consecutive year, the Survivor Series pay-per-view was going to primarily focus on the two weekly shows facing off against one other with the winner having the bragging rights of being the ‘A-Show’. Raw had won the last two pay-per-views, meaning that SmackDown had to step up this year and achieve a much-needed victory to get some redemption after the last two years.

However, it wasn’t to be and Raw won its third consecutive year against SmackDown. However, it wasn’t the fact that Raw won that is the issue, but it was the fact that it was a whitewash of 6-0 (as they didn’t count the Tag Team elimination match as part of the final count).

Not only did it undermine all the tag teams in the company, but the lop-sided score has also made it questionable if they could realistically do another Raw vs. SmackDown rivalry at Survivor Series. If the WWE decides to do it again next year, SmackDown will be heading on the back of not only an embarrassing loss last year but also three overall losses on the trot, so if they were to win next year, it would be somewhat of a hollow victory as they’ve still got a long way to catch up again.

Finally, this result has given the illusion to the WWE Universe that Raw is and always has been the ‘A-Show’, and the people on SmackDown are just not as strong and talented, which is simply not the case as they too have a stacked roster which includes but not limited to: Asuka, Charlotte, Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles.
