#3 Survivor Series – Team Raw vs Team SmackDown

...Why was he in the match again?

After Shane McMahon invaded Monday Night Raw, both Raw and SmackDown would put teams together to battle at Survivor Series and prove which brand was superior.

Team Raw was comprised of Triple H, Kurt Angle, Finn Bálor, Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman while Team SmackDown was comprised of Shane McMahon, Randy Orton, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Roode and John Cena.

The first half of the match was fantastic and had some great confrontations like Bálor-Nakamura, Triple H-Roode and Joe-Cena. The big moments from the beginning were the exchange between Roode and Triple H, Team SmackDown suplexing Strowman through the announcement table and Joe hitting a belly-to-belly suplex from the top rope on McMahon.

However, the match would fall apart in the second half as only the part-timers and Strowman remained. The match ended when Triple H helped McMahon eliminate Angle only to eliminate McMahon himself.

A match that had little to nothing to do with Triple H ended with The Cerebral Assassin centre stage while a majority of the newer talents were brushed to the side.
