Survivor Series is one of the premier sports entertainment extravaganzas on the WWE calendar, and Sunday night, it was the setting of brand warfare as Superstars of Raw and SmackDown Live battled for supremacy.
In a dream match of massive proportions, WWE champion AJ Styles of the blue brand battled universal champion Brock Lesnar of the flagship show.
It was the marquee match of a loaded show that featured two traditional Survivor Series elimination tag matches that pitted the men and women of Raw and SmackDown against each other, respectively, and several other interpromotional bouts.
An event steeped in controversy, from the Montreal Screwjob to Goldberg's seconds-long victory over Lesnar a year ago, was it once again the breeding ground for buzz and excitement as it has been in years past?
Which brand reigned supreme? How did each match grade out? How will the outcome affect WWE programming going forward?
Find out now with this recap of Sunday's annual fall classic.
