After weeks of infighting, Team Raw came together for a dominant victory, sweeping Team SmackDown in the 5-on-5 Men’s Survivor Series Elimination Match.
The blue brand controlled the early action until Seth Rollins, expressionless and the only member of his team not wearing a SmackDown shirt, offered himself on his knees for a Sheamus Brogue Kick and the bout’s first elimination. The SmackDown Savior’s only explanation before his sacrifice was, “For the greater good.”
The bizarre act of martyrdom set the remaining members of Team Blue into disarray, and while attempting to regroup, they were demolished by the Braun Strowman express on the outside.
But Team SmackDown seemed to find a spark behind Kevin Owens’ Stunner parade, as KO put down Sheamus, Keith Lee and Riddle before being eliminated after AJ Styles blasted him with a Phenomenal Forearm. Raw’s edge improved to 5-2 as Riddle put away King Corbin with a Floating Bro, leaving only Jey Uso and Otis for Team SmackDown.
Otis caught fire in a hurry, cleaning house of Team Raw before standing toe to toe with Strowman. While the blue-collar strong Superstar landed the Caterpillar, Strowman plucked him from the top rope and planted him with a gargantuan Running Powerslam for the elimination.
With nothing to lose, Uso fought valiantly, dropping his adversaries with a series of superkicks and taking down almost all of Team Raw with a plancha.
But Jey’s rally fell short. The Limitless Superstar entered the match via a blind tag, caught Uso off the top rope and planted him with the Spirit Bomb to send Team Raw to victory.
