Brand loyalty is one thing that has been brought up countless times over the last few Survivor Series events, with wrestlers fighting for the show they were on. A handful of wrestlers have fought for the show they are on for three straight years.

They have been a part of their respective 5-person team every year since the second brand split commenced. The Smackdown and Raw men's teams have changed significantly over the years, but there has been one constant in both sides for three years now. Shane McMahon for Smackdown and Braun Strowman for Raw.

They have also crossed paths at every one of these matches. In 2016, Shane O'Mac elbow dropped Strowman through the announce table which would result in the Monster's countout elimination from the match.

In 2017, the former Raw Tag Team Champion was one of two survivors for Team Raw with McMahon being the last one eliminated from Team Smackdown. Funnily enough, both of those things happened at this year's Survivor Series, with Strowman pinning the Smackdown commissioner to win the match for Raw.

While there are similarities in the men's teams, the women's teams are more uniform. Literally half of the participants in every match of its kind are the same women, wrestling for the same team. Smackdown's Carmella and Naomi have been part of every women's Survivor Series team for the Blue brand, not winning a single one of them.

Over on the other side, Sasha Banks, Bayley and Nia Jax have represented Raw in team competition at every Survivor Series event since 2016. Bayley and Jax have won matches at the November supershow, so perhaps it is Sasha's turn next year.

These seven men and women have been consistent representatives of their brands at Survivor Series. How many of them will still hold this record come next year's Survivor Series?
