Women’s Traditional
Survivor Series 5-on-5 Match
Team Smackdown-Carmella,
Naomi, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, & Asuka vs. Team RAW-Mickie James,
Tamina, Nia Jax, Sasha Banks, & Bayley
Winners: Team RAW-Nia Jax
sole survivor
Leading up to this match,
Mandy Rose replaced Charlotte for Team Smackdown after she was inserted as a
replacement against Ronda Rousey due to Becky Lynch sustaining a concussion and
having her face broken at the hands of Nia Jax this past week on RAW. On RAW’s
side, Natalya and Ruby Riott were replaced with Bayley and Sasha Banks by team
captain Alexa Bliss after a fight broke out between them during the Survivor
Series kickoff show. As we approached the end of the match, Bayley and Sonya
Deville found themselves outside the ring and could not make their way back in
before the referee reached the count of 10 hence leaving them eliminated. This
left Asuka to fend for herself against Sasha Banks and Nia Jax. Next as Banks
gained the upper hand, she scaled to the top turnbuckle but was shoved off by
her own teammate Nia Jax. This allowed Asuka to secure the Asuka Lock for the
submission. Jax then entered the ring and annihilated Asuka with three leg
drops followed by the Samoan Drop for the pinfall victory.
Champion vs. Champion
Match
Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke
Nakamura
Winner: Seth Rollins
This match pitted the
Intercontinental Champion from RAW, Seth Rollins, against the United States
Champion from Smackdown, Shinsuke Nakamura, in another brand versus brand contest.
These men quite frankly beat the snot out of each other in this bout. Prior to
the conclusion, Nakamura withstood a top rope superplex that Rollins held onto
and rolled into another suplex whereas Rollins absorbed a bevy of strikes and
even the dreaded Kinshasa. In the end, it appeard Rollins would suffer the fate
of another Kinshasa until he ducked out of the way and countered with a pair of
super kicks that set up the Curb Stomp for the pinfall victory.
Champions vs. Champions
Tag Team Match
Cesaro & Sheamus w/
The Big Show vs. The Authors of Pain w/ Drake Maverick
Winners: AOP
WWE tag team bragging rights
were on the line as the Smackdown tag team champions Cesaro and Sheamus battled
the RAW tag team champions AOP. This match reached it’s conclusion as Drake
Maverick found himself cornered by the Smackdown trio and Maverick, in terror
of the Big Show who had his hand wrapped around is throat, peed his pants…I can’t
believe I just wrote that but it happened. This distraction allowed AOP to trap
Sheamus and lay waste to him to solidify the victory for RAW and put them up
3-0.
WWE Cruiserweight
Championship
Buddy Murphy (c) vs.
Mustafa Ali
inner: Buddy Murphy
Buddy Murphy made the first
defense of the title he won in his native Australia at Super Showdown from
Cedric Alexander. This was an entertaining match that the WWE Universe was
surprisingly intrigued by. Ali unfortunately did not land his 054 (a gravity
defying 540 splash) but did execute an awe-inspiring Spanish Fly on Murphy from
the top of the German announce table. Unfortunately Ali fell short as Murphy
hit the Murphy’s Law in the end for the victory.
RAW vs. Smackdown
Traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series Match
Team RAW-Bobby Lashley w/
Lio Rush, Finn Balor, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, & Braun Strowman vs.
Team Smackdown-The Miz, Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, Rey Mysterio, & Shane
McMahon
Winners: Team
RAW-Survivors: Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre
This match got off to a
ferocious start as Samoa Joe was the first eliminated when he was the recipient of a Claymore Kick delivered by
McIntyre. Shortly after, an inevitable meltdown between Strowman and McIntyre
occurred and chaos ensued. This culminated with Smackdown taking advantage and
laying Strowman across one of the announce table for Shane McMahon to give the
fans an “Oh shit!” moment. Shane-O-Mac proceeded to leap from the top
turnbuckle and landed on Strowman driving his elbow through his chest and
shattering the table in the process. The next elimination came after Mysterio
hit the 619 and “Dropped the Dime” on Finn Balor for the pinfall. A beaten
Shane McMahon reemerged to hit the Coast to Coast on Dolph Ziggler to eliminate
him. Hardy was then eliminated by Strowman after he broke him in half with a
power slam and subsequently did the same to Mysterio to quickly diminish the
blue brand’s numbers. After chasing down the Miz, Strowman then eliminated him
as well with another power slam. Shane McMahon, the last man standing for RAW,
stood up to Strowman only to be drop kicked into the corner and then driven
into the mat with a running power slam to finish of Team Smackdown. After the
conclusion of the match, RAW captain and interim general manager Baron Corbin
jumped Strowman from behind which most likely won’t go well for him on Monday
night.
Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte
Flair
Winner: Ronda Rousey via
DQ
This match was supposed to be
champion versus champion until Becky Lynch was concussed and bloodied up on
Monday night. On Tuesday night, Charlotte was selected by Becky to take her
place against the “baddest woman on the planet.” This match was phenomenal and
arguably stole the show. These ladies put on a clinic, particularly in
submission wrestling, until the very bitter end. Ronda, seemingly in control,
hit the Piper’s Pit and attempted to lock in the armbar submission when
Charlotte escaped and rolled out of the ring. Ronda decided to pursue Charlotte
out of the ring only to be met with a kendo stick shot to the gut. Charlotte
snapped and proceeded to assault Rousey with multiple kendo sticks, breaking
one in the process. Then when multiple referees attempted to quell the
situation, Charlotte laid waste to all of them and continued her massacre of
Rousey as she added a steel chair to the equation. This was an assault unlike one
the WWE Universe has seen in quite a while and they responded with a “Thank you
Charlotte” chant as she exited the arena with a maniacal expression on her
face.
Champion vs. Champion
Brock Lesnar w/ Paul
Heyman vs. Daniel Bryan
Winner: Brock Lesnar
The WWE Universe fully
anticipated this match to be A.J. Styles squaring off with Brock Lesnar in a
rematch of their confrontation at last year’s Survivor Series when both were
champions of their respective brands. A wrench was thrown into those plans this
past Tuesday on Smackdown when Daniel Bryan shocked the world and won the WWE
Championship. This match started as a mauling…Brock hit at least ten suplexes
and an F5 on Bryan before he unmercifully lifted him up from the canvas instead
of allowing the referee to count to three. Bryan was then hoisted up for
another F5 but Brock spun him around so his feet hit the ref in the head
leaving him incapacitated briefly. Bryan
took the opportunity to kick a perfect field goal between Lesnar’s legs and
turned the tides of the bout. Bryan seemed a tap away from the upset of the
evening, if not the year, as he had the Yes Lock engaged. Lesnar was able to
power out but Bryan quickly readjusted and locked in a triangle choke. Lesnar
finally picked up Bryan and threw him over his shoulders to finish him off with
another F5.
