With everything tied up. Team SmackDown and Team RAW battled for brand supremacy at WWE Survivor Series.
Brand supremacy was on the line in the main event of WWE Survivor Series on Sunday night. Houston watched on as the five best from Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live made their way to the ring.
Braun Strowman and Shane McMahon would kick things off, but it would be short lived. McMahon quickly tagged in Randy Orton while Triple H followed. That wouldn’t last long either, as Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura both wanted in.
Both sides were showing off what they had as the teams worked their way into the ring. Triple H got a piece of two NXT signees, as he went at it with Nakamura and Bobby Roode. This is where RAW got the early momentum.
After angering Strowman, Nakamura would be pinned following a running powerslam. Roode would shortly exit as well to give RAW a two-man advantage after he also wound up falling prey to the monster.
With Team Smackdown down two mean and needing help, they made a collective effort to get things going. They would start off by having all five, including the two eliminated, put Strowman through a table.
John Cena and Samoa Joe would square off and finally the blue team got some momentum. An AA from Cena would put Joe down and put RAW down to four. Then it was a bit of nostalgia as Cena and Kurt Angle squared off.

The two would go at it until, a little help from Balor would put Cena down for good once Angle hit the Angle Slam. Balor wouldn’t quit helping his team out either. He’d knock McMahon out on the outside and that led to Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens interfering to beat up their own commissioner on the outside.
Meanwhile in the ring, Orton pinned Balor after an RKO out of nowhere. However, McMahon’s biggest test awaited after Strowman would eliminate Orton on the inside. Left by himself, McMahon would have to take on Triple H, Angle and Strowman.
With impossible odds, Triple H tagged in to face his brother-in-law. Instead, Angle would tag himself in to face McMahon. As the general manager to put SmackDown Live’s commissioner in an ankle lock, Triple H would run in and pedigree his own teammate in shocking fashion.

McMahon would have his body thrown over the turning Triple H to make it two-on-one as Strowman looked on in confusion. Playing with Strowman’s emotions and McMahon’s, Triple H would pedigree Shane. The COO would pick up the win for RAW all to himself selfishly as he and Strowman were the final two left.
As they raised arms, Strowman would grab Triple H by the neck and told him to never try double crossing him again. This would enrage the latter and the two would get physical. Unfortunately for Triple H, Strowman would hit him with a couple of running powerslams to end the show as the red team won the night.
