WWE Survivor Series 2018: Analysing and grading each match

Women's Survivor Series Elimination Match

How the match was originally set to be

Match: After Charlotte had initially been the fifth woman on Team SmackDown, she withdrew from the team to replace Becky Lynch in the later match against Ronda Rousey, but this match went through a few more changes.

Alexa Bliss would name Sasha Banks and Bayley as replacements for Ruby Riott and Natalya, with Mandy Rose taking Charlotte's place on the blue team.

The main talking point of this match was WWE positioning Nia Jax as the ultimate heel following the Becky Lynch incident, with deafening jeers filling the building at the mere sight of the former RAW Women's Champion.

Tamina eliminated Naomi before being eliminated herself by Carmella, with Mandy Rose eliminating Mickie James. Bayley eliminated Carmella before Rose fell to Banks - and then we got the coolest spot in the match.

Sonya Deville absorbed a Bayley-to-Belly on the outside, that would see the pair end up counted out and RAW holding a two-on-one advantage. before both she and Bayley were counted out; Raw held a 2-to-1 advantage. Nia Jax would, shockingly, level things up - turning on her partner, with Banks tapping out to Asuka. Nia Jax, though, would emerge victorious after three leg drops to Asuka.

Verdict: An okay match. Nia Jax became a star purely by being a heel that has real heat with the WWE Universe. Hearing cheers every time someone takes a hit is a lost art - and that made this match really special.

Grade: C+
