Loser: Dolph Ziggler
Since I don't believe that an extended push is coming for Elias (much as it should come), this represents more of a loss for Dolph Ziggler than it does a win for his opponent. It's an odd thing to do, considering that Dolph Ziggler was named as a representative of Raw's men's Survivor Series team earlier on in the night.
Might this be another sign that the breakup with Drew McIntyre is coming soon? There's no place like Survivor Series to tease dissension within alliances. It's a trope as old as the event itself.
Coming off a loss to Shane McMahon of all people, it would certainly imply that Ziggler's job of getting Drew McIntyre over has essentially been completed. Continuing the alliance for much longer would only be of detriment to the resurgent Scotsman, who should be one of Raw's key players heading into WrestleMania season.
