On last week's Raw in Glasgow, Scotland, Stephanie McMahon forced her Survivor Series teams to be at loggerheads. The Commissioner of Raw wanted the chief stars of the brand to get any animosity out of their systems. Opening this week's program, Steph claimed that it was time everyone started to learn how to work together.

For that very reason, Kevin Owens would team with Roman Reigns to face Sheamus and Cesaro. This was plausible, KO and Reigns will not be on the same side as the warring tag-team partners come Survivor Series. Making such a match is fine, unlike what was planned for the women.

Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks were announced as partners, due to take on the unlikely team of Alicia Fox and Nia Jax. This directly contravened what Stephanie had set out to do, showing a real lack of logic in the process.

That quartet will be on the same side at Survivor Series, making the idea of having them wrestle so close to the pay-per-view illogical.
