It's been well-established that Survivor Series is all about promoting brand loyalty between Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live. On the pay-per-view, Charlotte Flair teams with Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, Alicia Fox and Bayley to take on Nikki Bella, Carmella, Becky Lynch, Naomi and Alexa Bliss. Dana Brooke and Natalya will also be in attendance around ringside.

This week on SmackDown, Charlotte was shown holding a ticket. Watching the action unfold between Bella and Carmella, Flair was dragged over the barricade by Nikki and a mass brawl erupted. All of the other members of Team Raw and Team SmackDown converged on the scene.

In the melee, it must be noted that Sasha Banks was the first one to stand up for Charlotte. Of course, anyone who has been following storylines on Raw will notice that this is out of place. On Monday nights, Banks and Charlotte can't stand one another.

Here, Banks attacked Nikki Bella to get the SmackDown captain off of Charlotte. Put plainly, that's just not believable right now, even with the brand loyalty aspect.
