WWE Survivor Series: Pros and cons of Brand Warfare

Con #3 It is all forgotten after the show

Remember when Triple H made the ending of Survivor Series all about himself.

To add to the fact that there are no stakes for victory at Survivor Series, it is hardly brought up again after the show. Ongoing feuds will continue while new ones will begin to brew, as WWE distances itself from the one feud between Red and Blue in the aftermath of Survivor Series. Very rarely do angles that play out on the night get followed up on television. One of the most glaring examples is the ending of last year's Survivor Series main event. Triple H made it all about himself by causing Kurt Angle to be eliminated before beating Shane McMahon to win the match for Team Raw.

Braun Strowman beat the Game up afterwards but nothing came from it. Also, the story between him and Angle did not really kick off until the signing of Ronda Rousey. It is like the entire system of WWE programming is put on hold for a few weeks heading into Survivor Series, before normal business is resumed once that big night in mid-November has concluded. There are no real consequences from the outcomes of the matches on the show. Remember when The Undertaker returned and threatened the entire Smackdown men's team in 2016 and then things returned to normal after Survivor Series? That was the epitome of how the happenings on Survivor Series turn out to be irrelevant in the grander scheme of things.

But, hey, it is all fun, right?
