Bengaluru, November 19: Survivor Series 2018 came up with a match card which was close to a Wrestlemania card which had a first-time ever line up in the champion vs. champion matches and this made the anticipation higher than ever.
Plus, there were three traditional Survivor Series elimination matches with the 'bragging rights’ up for grabs at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
Check out how the show went down at LA:
Women's 5-on-5 Survivor Series elimination match:
Team Raw (Mickie James, Nia Jax, Tamina, Sasha Banks, and Bayley) (with Alexa Bliss) vs. Team Smackdown (Carmella, Naomi, Sonya Deville, Asuka and Mandy Rose)
A few changes were made to Team Raw by Team captain Alexa Bliss. She chose Sasha Banks and Bayley leaving Ruby Riott and Natalya out of her squad. Meanwhile, Mandy Rose was announced as the fifth member of Team Smackdown.
As the match commenced, Naomi suffered a quick elimination by Tamina, who later fell victim to Carmella. Later, Mandy Rose tried to dominate the match before Sasha and Bayley took over. Bayley got herself disqualified alongside Sonya Deville by going outside the ring. Sasha Banks went into a war against Asuka to dominate. But Nia Jax betrayed her by pushing her off the top rope. Asuka eliminated her with the Asuka Lock. Nia delivered a leg-drop on Asuka to led Team Red into the victory.
Team Smackdown succeeded in bringing down Strowman for a while as McMahon hit an elbow on him through the announce table. Mysterio used this distraction to eliminate Balor from the match with a springboard splash.
Charlotte, meanwhile, failed to pin her after hitting a spear and frustrations caught up with her. She disqualified herself by hitting Ronda with kendo sticks. The assault continued as she targeted Ronda’s neck with the chair around it. Officials stopped the attack after she hit a Natural Selection with the steel chair on Ronda.

WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs. WWE Champion Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan wanted to keep Brock Lesnar off his feet by staying away from him. But he soon entered the 'suplex city’ courtesy of the German suplexes. While going for the F-5, Bryan landed on the referee knocking him out. He delivered a low blow and set up for a Running Knee. He delivered it on a second attempt before the fight continued outside. Bryan managed to hit Lesnar with a missile dropkick before trapping him into the YES Lock. But the beast got back to his feet and nailed Bryan with an F-5 for the win.
