2. Team Raw Men and Women Are Set For Survivor Series

Survivor Series is less than two weeks away and a deeply-intense battle for brand supremacy will take place.  The two biggest shows in WWE history will square off when Raw battles SmackDown in a variety of different matches, but none as impactful as the Team Raw vs. Team SmackDown matches.

The blue brand’s teams were mostly set leading into last night’s Raw, but there were still several spots open for both the men and women’s teams for the red brand at Survivor Series.  Last night saw the voids filled for Team Raw with some marquee additions for both the men and women’s teams to answer SmackDown’s additions.

Last night’s Raw saw the final three members of Team Raw’s men’s team at Survivor Series selected in Samoa Joe, Finn Balor, and Jason Jordan.  The women’s team also took shape last night with the additions of Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Asuka.  The red brand is ready for Survivor Series with limited spots still available to fill on SmackDown’s teams.

Raw’s men’s team consists of Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman, Joe, Balor, and Jordan and its women’s team consists of Alicia Fox, Nia Jax, Banks, Bayley, and Asuka.  While the teams aren’t necessarily perfect, they offer a little bit of everything for the red brand at Survivor Series as the WWE universe awaits the remaining selections for Team SmackDown.

Team Raw vs. Team SmackDown has already been intriguing and the matches are still a couple weeks away, and last night’s additions for Raw help the red brand heading into the WWE’s fall classic.
