RAW emerged victorious in the last two editions of Survivor Series in 2016 and 2017. Here are 2 reasons why they need to win the entire thing in 2018 and two reasons why the blue brand should win:
#1 RAW should win - It is the flagship show
The basic reason why RAW has emerged victorious in the earlier two editions is that the WWE Creative wants the WWE Universe to believe that RAW is their flagship show and that SmackDown is the "B" show. Looking at the booking of WWE Crown Jewel where Shane McMahon took the World Cup to SD Live it seems like RAW will be having the upper hand at Survivor Series. It has always been seen that the brand having lesser momentum heading into Survivor Series emerges victorious and RAW has always been low on momentum ahead of the inter-brand warfare.
