10 Worst Survivor Series Elimination Matches EVER - According To Dave Meltzer

WWE has already won the battle of brand supremacy in 2017, regardless of how well the Raw and SmackDown Live! teams do at the Survivor Series. '#UnderSiege' somehow received its own chant as Shane McMahon laid down the law for his blue team a week removed from his Monday Night Raw invasion. Incredibly, the company have somehow found a way to condense a lengthy beatdown into t-shirt fodder. It would be commendable if it wasn't so sad.

What's less tough to stomach is how the company have at least generated actual separation between the rosters since the relaunched split. Raw and SmackDown stars turning up on the other side has become a rarity again at least. And while the pay-per-view schedule is more clogged than ever, the bottleneck of events come from the need to make intra-show conflicts feel important within their own 'Universe'.

This was decidedly not the case in 2008. Monthly supercards were made up of mixed roster matches with increasing regularity, whilst women on both brands were reduced to menial slots or eye candy hotshots whilst fighting over one irreversibly damaged title. Every entrant in this p*ss poor perversion push-back entered in Raw and SmackDown t-shirts, but tore them off before even making it to the ring. It was a distinct lack of care inadvertently synergistic with the audience.
