WWE Survivor Series is the One Night per year that competitors from RAW and SmackDown engage in head-to-head competition!

It's the dumbest sh*t. They switch brands in October. There is no heft to any of this. It's the most egregious insult WWE levels to your intelligence, they do it every year, and from October 2019, they made the dumbest f*cking thing they do even f*cking dumber.

And it's not the One Night per year that competitors from RAW and SmackDown engage in head-to-head competition. In one of several hundred TV angles you totally don't remember, which is insane, because if any show should be able to make you remember it via classical conditioning it's WWE RAW, SmackDown Tag Team Champions Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro interrupted a RAW Street Profits promo.

They did so by invoking the, Jesus Christ, 'Quarterly Brand To Brand Invitational', the mere existence of which undermines the Survivor Series marketing gimmick.

"You've had so many partners that you might need to get an STD test, bro," Montez Ford said to Cesaro.

"I'm foreign. It's not my fault they keep putting me in tag teams," Cesaro said in response.
