The biggest winners and losers of Survivor Series

2018's edition of Survivor Series is now in the books and the pay per view was a bizarre one. And yet, despite its bizarre nature, where SmackDown as a brand was the blowout loser of the night, despite some things dragging, despite that terrible piss humor with Drake Maverick that was designed solely for an audience of one, was still WWE's best main roster pay per view of the year.

Every match was good at worst and some will be the match of the year contenders. The stacked card delivered and overperformed its booking, to say the least.

With this all in the books, let's take a look at the biggest winners and losers on the night as far as wrestlers, rather than brands, are concerned, anyway.

Winner: The Usos

It was the right thing to do. It's what should have been done. It's what I wanted to see happen. And it happened. The Usos emerged from the tag team elimination kickoff match as the sole survivors. This victory apparently didn't count for their brand on the main card, because SmackDown wasn't allowed to shine one iota on the night as a show (despite Fox executives being backstage, imagine that), but it did shine for The Usos.

This victory needs to put them in place as the number one contenders for The Bar's titles, especially since the champions took a loss on the night to the Authors of Pain.

Now the question becomes whether The Usos can sustain this momentum all the way to WrestleMania or if they'll flame out before then. When will their feud begin? How long will it last? Will The Usos be successful in capturing the championships before WrestleMania?

Either way, SmackDown's tag team division looks like it's about to get a needed shot in the arm.
