A genuine WrestleMania-quality match (even if WWE saying it so much almost makes it feel like a lie), the company have managed to provide this with build and make it feel like something of a shock over the last fortnight.

They used their own precedent of switching major Survivor Series matches to add tension to McIntyre's go-home Raw victory over Randy Orton. They presented a face off between the 'Scottish Psychopath' and 'The Tribal Chief' before that, creating all the drama needed for this explosive one-and-done.

Of all the matches on the card, the brand supremacy bullsh*t here actually feels worthwhile too. Roman bantered Drew all the way back to USA Network when he said he didn't have time to watch Raw. In a year where McIntyre has worked hard to try and restore the red brand's belt to credible levels, that had to sting. Another - bigger - stage can be where he gets his revenge though, especially after he doesn't see an RKO coming before 'The Big Dog' puts him away. The last thing he'll want after all that'll be another match...

Winner - Roman Reigns

Raw 3 - 3 SmackDown
