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

#3. Team RAW (DX [Triple H and Shawn Michaels], Big Show, Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston and Mark Henry) vs. Team Smackdown! (Chris Jericho, Kane, R Truth, Matt Hardy, Finlay and The Hart Dynasty [Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith]), Bragging Rights 2009

Meaningless wins with meaningless cups, then now and forever!

What Bragging Rights first brand warfare match lacked in dream faceoffs, it made up with some fun and storytelling. First and foremost was the running story between Jeri-Show, DX and even Legacy. At this point, WWE's tag team division seemed adrift but also packed with main event talent.

Add to that some intriguing combinations, the universe got to see some shining stars take center stage particularly Kofi Kingston and Jack Swagger. Kingston got a real showcase as he would head next into a rivalry with Randy Orton while by the next year Swagger would be a world champion.

For all the duds created in this era, at least WWE tried to establish its young stars. Similarly, DX gave great entertainment and their narrative pushed forward as Big Show betrayed his team for his partner Jericho. Bragging Rights didn't mean much in 2009 and the gimmick already outlived itself, but it was undeniably better than its sequel for sure.
