5 reasons WWE has already done a good job with Survivor Series 2017

#3 A focus on strategy

Under Siege Part 2?

The New Day's invasion of RAW on Monday, which led to a change of the tag team titles, was masterfully orchestrated. It was a perfect diversion, a feint that baited Kurt Angle with ease. By moving half of RAW's roster to ringside to deal with three SmackDown guys, a strong invasion force could have ransacked the rest of the roster backstage and hit Kurt Angle's ringside unit in the flank and rear. He was very lucky that the New Day's attack was essentially just a probe rather than an assault.

So far, SmackDown has completely out-generaled and outsmarted RAW. It's messed with Kurt Angle's head. It's made him insecure. It's forced him to make what could have been a potentially catastrophic mistake. It's pushed Stephanie's buttons, too.

Sun-Tzu would be proud!

How RAW will act when it inevitably invades SmackDown on next week's go-home show, and how it adapts at Survivor Series itself, remains to be seen, but so far, I've loved the focus on the strategy that this storyline has shown. It almost leaves you with a taste of what the much-maligned WCW/ECW Invasion Angle could have and should have been all those years ago.
