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

Imperfectly perfect, the the Raw and SmackDown teams raised their games after an indifferent build that year, telling a scaled back and simple Survivor Series story Dads to be proud of.

The half-baked battle wasn't without botches. Alicia Fox and Naomi mangled...something that clouded their eliminations, and Nia Jax again failed where success should have been something, but the rest of the field were excellent in the small doses they were afforded. Becky Lynch was toppled early by her old mucker Bayley. 'The Hugger' herself shockingly faced an early bath. Even Tamina took no sh*t as a one-night killer there to be eventually killed by Raw's deadliest weapon Asuka. These were brilliant character-based moments the Survivor Series used to be such a good vehicle for before agents got lazy with the gimmick.

'The Empress Of Tomorrow' looked awesome in victory and the best in class, exactly as she used to be. Like much of her early push, the match too was a resounding success.
