Believe it or not, WWE made the right decisions throughout the pay-per-view and it is a series of moves they were absolutely genius. Not only is that evident by Keith Lee almost overcoming Roman Reigns and then getting a nod from The Big Dog, but also by the wins of Roderick Strong, and Shayna Baszler.

If nothing else, NXT defeating RAW and SmackDown in these matches gave them a level of legitimately that nothing else would have. It also did so in a way that made sense to the overall product and didn't really hurt anyone in the process. It even seemed to benefit everyone involved and had the fans support throughout.
Sure, WWE made a few moves that seemed cheap in the moment, like Lo Shirai and Candance Larae getting injured and returning to help Rhea Ripley win the Women's Survivor Series match, but it was brilliant once you thought about it. The move even gave NXT that win at any costs feel, which was a fun trend to follow.
WWE did this again during the dream match between Roderick Strong, Shinsuke Nakamura, and AJ Styles, where Strong capitalized off of an opportunity and pinned Nakamura for the victory. Again, it seemed cheap in the moment, but it was actually the perfect way to make Roderick look good and protect Nakamura in defeat.
