) against Team SmackDown (Kevin Owens, Jey Uso, King Corbin, Seth Rollins, and Otis). Jey and Styles started the match. After Sheamus tagged in the match, Rollins tagged in, got on his knees, and allowed Sheamus to perform a Brogue Kick on him: Rollins was subsequently eliminated, proclaiming it was "for the greater good." After Rollins' elimination, the remaining SmackDown team members attempted to discuss a strategy outside the ring only for Strowman to tackle all of them with a running shoulder tackle. Back in the ring, Owens performed Stunners on Lee, Sheamus, and Riddle, after which Styles performed a Phenomenal Forearm on Owens to eliminate him. Styles attacked Corbin with a superkick and Riddle performed a Floating Bro from the top rope to eliminate Corbin. After Otis performed the Caterpillar on Strowman, Otis attempted a Vader Bomb on Strowman only for Riddle to intercept Otis. Strowman took advantage of the distraction and performed a Running Powerslam on Otis to eliminate him. Jey attacked Team Raw with a flurry of Superkicks. In the end, Jey countered a Phenomenal Forearm from Styles and attempted a Splash on him; however, Lee, who was the legal member, intercepted Jey by catching him in midair and transitioned into a Spirit Bomb on Jey to win the match with a clean sweep, and giving Raw their second win of the night.

Reigns then ordered Jimmy to leave and stated that Team SmackDown lost because Jey could not control his team and that they did not respect Jey. He then told Jey to also leave the building along with Jimmy. In the next match, Raw Women's Champion Asuka faced SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks. In the end, after a series of attempted rollups on one another, Banks pinned Asuka with an inside cradle to win the match, giving SmackDown their second win of the night.

The penultimate match was the women's 5-on-5 traditional Survivor Series elimination match, featuring Team Raw (Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Lana, Lacey Evans, and Peyton Royce) against Team SmackDown (Bianca Belair, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Bayley, and Natalya). A few minutes into the match, Lana tagged in and faced off with Natalya. Jax then tagged in and Team Raw forced Lana to stand on the ring steps, not to tag in again. Bayley was the first to be eliminated after Royce performed Deja Vu on her and pinned her. Natalya then eliminated Royce by making her submit to the sharpshooter. Evans performed the Women's Right on Natalya to eliminate her. Baszler made Riott pass out to the Kirifuda Clutch and pinned Riott to eliminate her. Morgan then eliminated Evans with a crucifix pin. Morgan was then eliminated by Jax after Jax performed a Samoan Drop on her. The last remaining member of Team SmackDown, Belair, faced off with Baszler, who eventually applied the Kirifuda Clutch on Belair, who got to the ropes, but Baszler refused to let go of the hold as the referee counted to five, thus Baszler got herself eliminated by disqualification. Belair then fought with Jax. The two went outside the ring where Belair tumbled Jax over the ringside barrier; however, Belair did not make it back in the ring before the referee's count of ten, thus Jax and Belair were eliminated via count out, leaving Lana as the sole survivor of Team Raw. As this gave Raw their fourth win of the night, this automatically meant that Raw won brand supremacy.

In the main event match, Raw's WWE Champion Drew McIntyre faced SmackDown's Universal Champion Roman Reigns (accompanied by Paul Heyman). In the end, as McIntyre performed the

on Reigns, Reigns inadvertently bumped into the referee, incapacitating him. Although he was instructed to leave the building earlier, Reigns' cousin Jey Uso then ran down to ringside and tussled with McIntyre, enabling Reigns to perform a low blow on McIntyre followed by a Superkick from Jey. Reigns then applied the guillotine choke submission on McIntyre, who passed out, to win the match. Although this gave SmackDown another win, Raw had already won brand supremacy with four wins to SmackDown's three.

Aftermath


Raw

The following night on ''Raw'', for winning the men's Survivor Series match with a clean sweep, WWE official Adam Pearce stated that one of Team Raw's members would receive a WWE Championship match against Drew McIntyre at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs and allowed each to state their case. The last to state their case was Braun Strowman, however, he became enraged over Pearce's use of the phrase "last but not least". This led to Strowman attacking Pearce and thus was suspended indefinitely. Former WWE Champion Randy Orton (who did not represent Raw at the pay-per-view but wanted a rematch) and United States Champion Bobby Lashley (who was the only champion from Raw to win his Champion vs. Champion match) each confronted Pearce backstage individually with their respective cases. Pearce scheduled three singles matches for that night, with the winners of each facing off in a triple threat match the following week to determine the number one contender. Riddle, Keith Lee, and AJ Styles advanced to the triple threat match by defeating Sheamus, Lashley, and Orton, respectively. Styles subsequently won the triple threat match. Also on ''Raw'', due to Lana emerging the sole survivor of the women's elimination match, she was given a Raw Women's Championship match against Asuka. However, this match ended in a no-contest by an interference from Women's Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. This led to a tag team match in which Lana and Asuka defeated Jax and Baszler in a non-title match. The following week, Lana and Asuka defeated Jax and Baszler in another non-title match, and a title match between the two teams was then scheduled for TLC.


SmackDown

On the following episode of ''SmackDown'', Universal Champion Roman Reigns lambasted Jey Uso for Team SmackDown losing, as well as returning to aid Reigns in his match against McIntyre, even though he ordered Jey to leave the building. Reigns stated that the rest of Team SmackDown did not respect Jey, and because of that, they do not respect Reigns or their family. This enraged Jey, who then attempted to further prove himself by viciously attacking Otis with a chair during his entrance. Later, he attacked Daniel Bryan backstage, causing Bryan to lose his match. In the main event, Jey faced Kevin Owens. Jey was intentionally disqualified after attacking Owens with a steel chair. After the match, Jey continued his assault on Owens, however, Owens retaliated by delivering multiple Stunners to Jey. Owens then taunted Reigns directly, who watched on from a television backstage. The following week, Owens challenged Reigns to a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the Universal Championship at TLC, and Reigns accepted.
