WWE Survivor Series 2018: Ranking The 5 Best RAW vs. Smackdown Brand Warfare Matches

#4. Team RAW (Kurt Angle, Triple H, Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe and Finn Balor) vs. Team Smackdown (Shane McMahon, John Cena, Randy Orton, Bobby Roode and Shinsuke Nakamura), Survivor Series 2017

The Game dialing back to 2003 level of glory hogging!

Last years Survivor Series showdown had possibly the best build since the first time these two brands collided on PPV. Shane McMahon made a surprise visit on RAW ground, tearing down rival Kurt Angle with his blue brand invaders. The under-siege moment from both ends gave way to a thrilling build to the main match.

It set up a fascinating SHIELD reunion against New Day, thus giving space at the top of the card for some young stars of both brands to shine. Except as WWE is want to do in this past decade, that shine got vehemently neutered by a focus on part-time relics making the save.

Shane McMahon once again stole a spot on the pretext of leading the charge, while Triple H shoved himself on the RAW side to bully Kurt Angle. Add to that an unmotivated Cena and Orton. Yet, the young flashier stars could still provide especially with dream confrontations, right?

Wrong.

Well, partially we did get dream clashes between the likes of Roode and Triple H or John Cena and Samoa Joe. These things didn't last too long with the final face-off being between a gassed Shane, a defeated Angle, and a spotlight-hogging Triple H. Sure Braun Strowman got one up on Triple H at the end of the match, after their pathetic win but by then everyone else looked like a bunch of chumps. So much for brand loyalty.
