WWE Survivor Series 2018: Results, Grades, and Review

The women’s Survivor Series match is up first, and boy, was there a lot happened with this before the show. Naomi is SmackDown Team Captain, Mandy Rose replaced Charlotte, and then Ruby Rioitt and Natalya got into a fight backstage. They got kicked off the team, so Sasha Banks and Bayley have taken their spots. I know, the show hadn’t even started yet.

Tamina and Naomi start off the match, but soon it turns into a complete mele. Everyone gets knocked out of the ring, but when the dust settles, Tamina gets the pin on Naomi.

Carmella answers immediately by eliminating Tamina. They keep calling Nia Jax “F*ce Breaker”, which is just kind of whack.

Bayley gets a huge pop when she tags in, immediately going after Sonya Deville before she tags Sasha in, and we get an eve bigger pop. Mandy gets a quick tag on Sonya and gets the pin on Mickie James, which causes further tension between the two.

If that crumbling friendship didn’t upset you enough, Bayley eliminates Carmella. Is Bay-mella not sacred?!

Bayley and Sonya have a very solid back-and-forth. Sonya Deville is brutal, and the fact that they were both eliminated by count out when they took their brawl to the outside of the ring is pretty crap.

Asuka is now the only woman alive for Team SmackDown, and she squares up now with Sasha Banks. Asuka thrown Sasha around like a rag doll, giving her a stiff knee followed by a German suplex.

Banks gets some counter-work in on the outside of the ring. Back in the ring, Asuka goes for the pin on Banks, but she’s unsuccessful. The “let’s go Asuka chants” are loud. Asuka tries to go for the Asuka Lock, but Sasha counters.

Nia Jax pushes Sasha off the ropes and right into an Asuka Lock, and she taps out. This is an example of capitalizing on heat in a really stupid way. Nia makes way-too-quick work of Asuka, and she gets the win for Team Raw.
