#3 Women's WWE Survivor Series five-on-five Elimination match - Team SmackDown vs. Team RAW

RAW's team got two different members on the go-home show.

The two elimination matches have seen different types of builds than the Championship matches. Instead of downright addressing their opponents, WWE has done a good job of testing the chemistry of each team on both shows.

RAW's entire build saw friction between the members every week following Hell in a Cell. Instead of having qualifying matches, WWE simply had Adam Pearce announce four of the five members of the team. We had Mandy Rose, Dana Brooke, Nia Jax, and Shayna Baszler. Lana got the last spot by winning a fatal four-way.

Each week saw Lana go through a table after a match or segment featuring the members of the RAW team. Sometimes Rose and Brooke stopped the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions from further assaulting Lana. The other times saw Rose and Brooke get attacked for their actions. On the go-home RAW, they were both assaulted in different segments that saw each woman taken off of the team. WWE later replaced them with Lacey Evans and Peyton Royce.

On SmackDown, Bianca Belair, Ruby Riott, and Liv Morgan all had to win matches in order to qualify. Chelsea Green was supposed to be a part of the team but she was hurt in her debut match. Instead, we had Pearce rightfully name Bayley to the team and Natalya defeat Tamina to become the fifth member. Belair and Bayley were also on commentary on SmackDown. The teams might not have traded barbs in promos but there were many segments of team building leading up to the actual pay-per-view.
