#1 WWE officially considers SmackDown Live 'the B-show'
The lone complaint and grievance I have with this year's Survivor Series is the intentional burial of SmackDown Live. Raw absolutely established dominance over SmackDown Live in a move that has drawn the ire of many hardcore WWE fans.
SmackDown Live couldn't even score a single victory over Raw on the main show, and their sole victory on the pre-show was barely acknowledged, and was completely ignored by WWE on the main show.
The men's Survivor Series tag-match was booked terribly as Strowman ran roughshod over four of WWE's all-time greats within the span of 5 minutes. This happened after the in-fighting amongst the Raw members, which just goes to show how weak the blue brand's team was made to look.
SmackDown's loss at Survivor Series has left a painful scar on the brand that will continue to hurt it for aeons. Given that the blue brand has long been considered the 'B-show' by casual fans, hardcore fans now have little doubt that WWE thinks the same way too.
