Now this match carried all the excitement because of the importance given to SmackDown by the company. The brands were split so brilliantly that sometimes it looked like Raw was competing with another WCW. And the writers didn’t hesitate much to utilize the situation and pit the two brands against eachother for a Survivor Series showdown.  Eddie Guerrero was slated to be sole survivor of the match but Eddie was replaced by Randy Orton after his tragic death. The match lasted 24 minutes and showcased some array of brilliant moves with the most notable being the effort put in by the SmackDown guys to eliminate Big Show. Orton delivered an RKO to Shawn Michaels to win the match but his celebrations were cut short by a certain Undertaker who emerged from a flaming casket.
