Here’s a look at what happened with Raw and SmackDown Live duked it out in a 10-on-10 tag team elimination match at Survivor Series.
In the biggest match of the night (literally) at Survivor Series on Sunday night, the 10-man teams from Raw and SmackDown Live hit the spotlight for a 10-on-10 tag team elimination match.
Team Raw took the women’s match to kick off the night, so the red brand had the early 1-0 lead (plus The Miz and his victory over Raw’s Sami Zayn in the Intercontinential Championship match).

Raw was clicking on all cylinders, until some miscommunication with Enzo Amore and Luke Gallows changed the match a bit. Right after the mishap, Rhyno hit a huge Gore to eliminate Gallows and Anderson from the match.

Amore and Big Cass were able to go on eliminate Rhyno and Heath Slater, but The Usos bounced back into the match like two cats and eliminated Enzo and Big Cass.
The match came down to Cesaro and Sheamus for Raw and The Usos for SmackDown Live.

Things got strange.
Strange as in Cesaro hit a 619 a la Rey Mysterio.
No, seriously.

Cesaro sealed the deal with a Sharpshooter (hey, Bret Hart) and some help from partner Sheamus to win the match for Raw.
