5 surprising moments from WWE Survivor Series 2019
Becky Lynch sure is quite the sore loser.
WWE Survivor Series was a really fun night of wrestling. The addition of NXT to this pay-per-view was a brilliant choice, added a unique layer to all the matches, and provided opportunities to make new stars. The NXT Championship match along with the two Survivor Series elimination matches were Sunday night's stand outs. It certainly helps that Chicago wrestling crowds always help make for a great night of wrestling.
As I am still figuring out why Rey Mysterio didn’t use that pipe like twenty more times, I will try to distract myself and present my list of the top five most surprising moments of WWE Survivor Series 2019
#5 Raw’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Night
Poor RAW. They just couldn’t catch a break on Sunday night, could they?
Last year, the Red Brand had a clean sweep over SmackDown. RAW has usually been pushed as WWE's superior brand, but that was not the case on Sunday night in Chicago. This year the only saving grace was The Viking Raiders, who won their Tag Team Triple Threat Match against SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day and NXT Tag Team Champions The Undisputed Era. Congratulations are in order for Erik and Ivar.
A common theme throughout the night was a lot of bad luck among the RAW superstars. Asuka caused Charlotte’s elimination in the Women’s Survivor Series match and the Empress of Tomorrow simply abandoned her team. AJ Styles was about to win his match, but was pushed out of the way by Roderick Strong at the last second. Becky Lynch was out of the ring as well, while Shayna Baszler won her match via submission. Seth Rollins even lost his match clean to an NXT star.
It is certainly a surprise to see Raw losing so much after a dominant 2018 Survivor Series. I am curious how or if it will be addressed in coming weeks.
