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

8. Charlotte Flair Vs Alexa Bliss (2017)

Alexa Bliss' 2017 pay-per-view form was fabulous, even if her ascension accidentally resulted in the total collapse of a division underneath her. Comprehensive victories in matches and feuds over Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks and Bayley allowed Bliss the opportunity to consider herself Four Horsewomen kryptonite. More than winning both red and blue Women's Titles as her opponent had, she was afforded confidence that she could slay the 'Queen' because she'd done just to that to her superlative super-friends.

On this night, it wasn't to be, but this teased a talent in Alexa that's sadly been sidetracked once too often ever since. Her jaw-jacking was typically on point, whilst Charlotte Flair shone as a sympathetic babyface despite managing to exert her domineering side as a heel in the very next beat.

On the night, the pair's match risked fading into the background of a loaded card, but an excellent stretch of offence for Bliss brought it back out from the bleachers. In hindsight, it was a shame the battle only gave the winner a point on the board instead of an inflated position on the card. Charlotte entered an unmatched period of form right around the time, but Survivor Series 2017 may yet still reflect the peak of 'The Goddess' powers.
