Ranking Every Raw Vs SmackDown WWE Survivor Series Match From Worst To Best

There's a tendency to turn weapons on the Divas matches over the decade or so between Trish Stratus and Lita's 2006 exits and the embryonic Women's Revolution birthed in NXT, but it's one of the easiest downward punches in all of wrestling.

It wasn't the fault of *checks every WWE titillation almanac* Beth Phoenix, Candice Michelle, Jillian Hall, Kelly Kelly, Mickie James, Maria, Maryse, Michelle McCool, Natalya and Victoria that this ten minute elimination match failed to spring to life. Truthfully, it was considered a show of support from the company at the time to even afford the women an elimination match rather that just delivering a first-fall-wins stipulation as they had done previously.

Phoenix was the sole survivor, because why not have the entire division get pinned, eh? Somewhat removed from the worst excesses of the post-Attitude Era sleaze but far enough away from the true end of this dark era, the lack of interest from Vince McMahon himself was almost audible through the announcer headsets.
