WWE Survivor Series 2021: 5 Best Moments (And 5 Worst)

5. WORST - The Long And Grinding Road

Vince McMahon Roman Reigns
WWE

Survivor Series matches typically promise more than they can ever offer, especially with "brand supremacy" offered as the only prize. But when there's so little on the line and so few actual stars, the least WWE can do is keep the contests lean.

This was absolutely not the case with the first Raw Vs SmackDown elimination match.

The clash had a few choice cuts - Kevin Owens' walkout brought okay drama, Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins had some fun exchanges and the McIntyre/Lashley count-out was awesome in spite of being badly telegraphed from the start of the brawl - but a failure to make this matter in the build came back to haunt the contest here.

Rollins as the sole survivor will provide him with a bit of fodder heading into Rumble season and/or a passing conflict with Roman Reigns, but did you feel anything during the 30 minutes it took to arrive at that outcome?

Brooklyn didn't.
