10 HUGE Problems With WWE's Raw Vs SmackDown Survivor Series Concept

10. Brand Loyalty

Dean Ambrose was destroyed on this week's Raw. Besieged by SmackDown Live! stars after briefly gaining ground with a steel chair, he was ripped limb from limb by blue brand wolves aiming to put the 'Lunatic Fringe' and every other Monday Night loyalist in their place.

Only, back in April, Ambrose was on SmackDown himself. In fact, he was Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon's very first choice in the 2016 Draft, and would be carried aloft as the hero of the hour by many of those now decimating him when he defeated Seth Rollins to ensure the WWE Championship took up permanent residence on Tuesdays.

It was never explained why he left for Raw in April's Superstar Shake-up. Nobody's switches were, and yet mere months later, he's being killed for working where he works, and willing to die for that very cause. He's a pillock for giving a toss, but not at fault for his oppressors showing similar rage. Especially front-line sh*tkicker Rusev.

'The Bulgarian Brute' was another April trade, and made no secret of his utter disdain for SmackDown Live! He then made demands of McMahon and Bryan that weren't met, and subsequently proceeded to lose every major match. He's actively acknowledged how little life in the 'Land Of Opportunity' has done for him, and brainlessly gone to war for it all the same.

It is the exact opposite of how a predetermined form of entertainment is supposed to work. Everybody looks bad, even though precisely nobody has to.
