Team SmackDown Wins The Men’s Match At WWE Survivor Series

Raw and SmackDown went to war at Survivor Series, as three teams representing their respective brands faced off in traditional Survivor Series matches. The stakes were high in the men’s match, as The Undertaker recently returned, and told Team SmackDown that if they didn’t win, they would have to fear him.

Team Raw was made up of Universal Champion Kevin Owens, US Champion Roman Reigns, Chris Jericho, Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman. They faced off against Team SmackDown which was made up of World Champion AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt and Shane McMahon. James Ellsworth served as the official mascot for Team SmackDown.

The match carried on for quite a while with no eliminations, and the action took place both in, and outside of the ring. Eventually Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles started fighting each other inside the ring, and Shane McMahon tried to break it up. Braun Strowman got involved, and put Ambrose away with a running powerslam, AJ didn’t even attempt to break up the pin.

Bray Wyatt got in Braun Stromwan’s face, and told him to attack Jericho, it looked like he was going to do it, but then he attacked Wyatt. Strowman cleared the announce table, and Randy Orton hit him with an RKO outta nowhere on the table. Orton and Wyatt then set Strowman up on the table and Shane McMahon hit him with an elbow drop through the announce table from the top rope.

Braun Strowman tried to get back in the ring, but underneath the ring James Ellsworth grabbed his foot, and caused him to be counted out. Strowman then chased Ellsworth up the entrance ramp and threw him off the stage into a table.

Kevin Owens then hit AJ Styles with the List of Jericho, while Jericho was the legal man. Owens hit Styles with a Pop-Up Powerbomb, and the referee disqualified him because he wouldn’t leave the ring. Chris Jericho was distracted as he tried to pick up the pages from the List of Jericho, and Randy Orton hit him with an RKO outta nowhere, then eliminated him.

It came down to Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs. Shane McMahon, Orton, Wyatt and Styles.

Shane McMahon tried to hit Coast to Coast on Roman Reigns, but Reigns countered with a spear. Shane McMahon was taken out by the devastating force of the spear, doctors then carried Shane away. The bump looked brutal as Shane’s head slammed onto the mat, and it looked like he may have suffered a concussion.

Dean Ambrose made his way back out to attack AJ Styles. Security pulled them apart, but Reigns and Rollins teamed up with Ambrose for a mini Shield reunion, as they hit AJ with a triple powerbomb through the announce table. Rollins rolled Styles in the ring then pinned him to bring it to down to 2 on 2.

Luke Harper then arrived out of nowhere, and The Wyatt Family surrounded Reigns and Rollins. Seth Rollins got the upper hand, and he tried to hit Bray Wyatt with a Frog Splash, but Orton turned it into an RKO outta nowhere, and Bray pinned Rollins to eliminate him.

Roman Reigns went for a spear on Bray Wyatt, but Randy Orton sacrificed himself, and Wyatt then hit Sister Abigail for the win.
