Team Raw (Bobby Roode & Chad Gable, The Revival, The B-Team, Lucha House Party and The Ascension) vs. Team SmackDown (The Usos, New Day, SAnitY, The Colons and Anderson & Gallows)
If one person is pinned, their team is gone. Kalisto appears to have injured his left knee early on. He rolls to the outside and seems legitimately hurt. The Colons are the first elimination of the evening followed by The B-Team. RAW captains get rid of Sanity. New Day say goodbye to The Ascension. Anderson is pinned by Lucha House Party. In a nasty spot, The Usos finish Lucha House Party. Gable hits a German suplex to one of The Usos from the top rope to the outside. Crazy spot! New Day catch Gable and he’s gone. RAW only has The Revival left and they pin Xavier Woods. The Usos give SmackDown the first win of the evening.

Team Raw (Mickie James, Nia Jax, Tamina, Sasha Banks & Bayley) vs. Team SmackDown (Carmella, Naomi, Sonya Deville, Asuka & Mandy Rose)
For the female elimination match, who gets the win?
— WrestleNewz.com (@wrestlenewz) November 19, 2018
Lots of heat for Nia Jax. SmackDown loses its captain after Tamina quickly pins Naomi. Carmella rolls up Tamina and celebrates with a dance break. Sonya Deville does the work against Mickie James, but Mandy Rose steals the pin. Bayley eliminates Carmella. Sasha Banks makes Mandy tap. Deville and Bayley are both counted out. We are down to RAW’s Nia Jax & Sasha Banks against SmackDown’s Asuka. Nia turns on Banks and Asuka makes her tap. Nia is able to pin Asuka to bring home a win for Team RAW.

Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
For the firs time ever, Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura meet. Each have their moments and trade lots of kicks. Rollins misses the top rope frog splash and Nakamura with Kinshasa to the back of the head. Rollins kicks out and gets the curb stomp to give RAW another win.
Does the Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins or United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura get the win?

Authors of Pain vs. The Bar (Cesaro & Sheamus)
The Bar have the match won before Drake Maverick gets involved. The referee clearly saw Drake get involved, but he does nothing. Big Show grabs Drake by the throat and he pisses his pants. Big Show walks away laughing. AOP take advantage and pin Sheamus.
Which tag team will stand tall?

Cruiserweight Championship Match: Buddy Murphy vs. Mustafa Ali
Talk about a highlight reel of action. Buddy Murphy used his power to try and counter the unique style of Mustafa Ali. A knee to the head and Murphy’s Law is enough to keep the belt.
Who leaves as Cruiserweight Champion?

Team Raw (Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor, Bobby Lashley & Braun Strowman) vs. Team SmackDown (The Miz, Rey Mysterio, Shane McMahon, Samoa Joe & Jeff Hardy)
Team #Raw is stacked! #FinnBalor #BobbyLashley #DrewMcIntyre #DolphZiggler #BraunStrowman #SurvivorSeries #BaronCorbin @ Staples Center https://t.co/t0mQSfEqkt
— W???????g w???? (@VincentMichaels) November 19, 2018
Right off the bat we have RAW in-fighting, as Strowman and McIntyre debate who should start. Drew gives in, and just when we think Braun is starting, Drew tags in. It’s Drew opening against Samoa Joe. Joe quickly goes for the Coquina Clutch, but the Scottish Psychopath actually manages to deliver a Claymore and a quick elimination.
It doesn’t take long for Team RAW to implode, and the blue team takes advantage
Somehow in a match with Rey and Jeff Hardy, Shane McMahon gets the big spot. #SurvivorSeries

.@FinnBalor, meet 6??1??9??. @reymysterio #SurvivorSeries pic.twitter.com/qwL8YIszpn
— WWE Universe (@WWEUniverse) November 19, 2018
Mysterio ends up eliminating Finn Balor, and the match is now 4 on 4.
In the end, Braun is all RAW needed, as he wins it for the red team.
Winners: Team Raw (Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor, Bobby Lashley & Braun Strowman)
Up next, the big women’s clash
Ronda Rousey versus Charlotte Flair
While this should have been Becky Lynch versus Rousey, the blue brand had a more than capable alternate ready to go. This is a WrestleMania worthy match.
The match was very competitive, but when she could not put the RAW champion away, Charlotte snapped and absolutely obliterated Ronda Rousey with a kendo stick and a steel chair, busting the former UFC champion open in the process.
She nearly broke @RondaRousey in half with a Spear…
…but it WASN’T ENOUGH for @MsCharlotteWWE to put the #RAW #WomensChampion away. #SurvivorSeries pic.twitter.com/093WZdSUTQ

Winner via DQ: Ronda Rousey
Brock Lesnar vs. Daniel Bryan
All Lesnar in the beginning. A low blow allows Bryan to mount offense. He tries to pin or make Lesnar tap, but it doesn’t work. Lesnar gets a second F5 to secure the win.
Who gets the win: Brock Lesnar or Daniel Bryan?
