5 things you forgot about WWE Survivor Series 2018

#3 SmackDown's only win came on the Survivor Series Kickoff show

Despite the RAW brand sweeping the night at WWE Survivor Series last year, the SmackDown brand did pick up one win during the PPV, but it came on the Kickoff show on the main card, which technically does not count as the actual PPV itself.

The Kickoff show match featured a 10-on-10 Survivor Series tag team elimination match pitting Team Raw, consisting of Bobby Roode and Chad Gable, The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor), Lucha House Party (Kalisto and Lince Dorado, with Gran Metalik), The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder), and The B-Team (Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas)) against Team SmackDown's consisting of The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso), The New Day (Big E and Xavier Woods, with Kofi Kingston), The Colóns (Primo and Epico), Sanity (Killian Dain and Eric Young, with Alexander Wolfe), and Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson).

Kalisto was replaced by Gran Metalik when he suffered a knee injury, and the bout was won by Team SmackDown when Jimmy Uso pinned Scott Dawson to eliminate The Revival.

Some fans argue that the Kickoff show match should be considered as part of the total brand wins for RAW and SmackDown, and if you are one of those fans, then technically speaking, SmackDown did earn one win at the PPV last year.
