#4 NXT dominates Survivor Series
When wrestlers were stuck in Saudi Arabia, WWE had to go to plan B, which saw NXT invade SmackDown a couple of weeks before Survivor Series. At this point, it became clear that the black and gold brand was the standout player in the feud. Up until Survivor Series, we saw the likes of Keith Lee, Shayna Baszler, Matt Riddle, Adam Cole and so many more dominate, but no one expected it to go down like this in Chicago.
The "developmental" brand were made to look like stars all night, and it's clear that the likes of Lee, Baszler and Ripley will be stars on the main roster for years to come, because they stood out on this night. Despite the clear booking superiority in NXT, no one expected this result with Vince McMahon in charge, but a result of 4-to-2-to-1 in favour of NXT was the perfect way to go, and made for one of WWE's best shows all year.
