Grading every WWE PPV of the year 2018 (Part 3)

#4 Survivor Series

The Battle of Brands was good

The theme for this years PPV was same as last year's: a battle of brands.

Many different types of matches between both the brands took place at the event. Two big matches announced for the event were Rousey vs Lynch (Raw Women's Champion vs SmackDown Women's Champion) and Lesnar vs Styles II (Universal Champion vs WWE Champion).

Both these matches were changed at the last moment, with Lynch getting injured and Styles losing his title on the go home show. Bryan replaced Styles and faced Lesnar whereas Flair replaced Lynch to face Rousey.

Seth Rollins battled Shinsuke Nakamura in a dream match at the PPV.

Positives:

Despite the fact that two big matches were changed at the last moment the PPV received a positive reaction from the fans. The quality of Nakamura vs Rollins was good. Bryan told a great story in his match against Lesnar.

Flair snapping after her match against Rousey was a great way to further the storyline between the trio of Rousey, Flair and Lynch. The two Survivor Series matches on the main card were fine as well.

Negative:

The Tag Team Division has been a joke in the modern era of WWE. This was proved in the Authors of the Pain vs The Bar match. For some silly comedic relief, the quality of this match was completely messed with.

Raw clean sweeping Smackdown did not have any fallout on either Raw or Smackdown, which makes the whole thing pointless. The pre-show win of the Smackdown Tag Team Division was not even considered.

Grade: 7/10
