WWE Survivor Series 2021 is now in the history books. RAW and SmackDown battled it out in numerous matches to determine the supreme brand.
Although the build-up to this pay-per-view was underwhelming, the matches delivered for sure. The kickoff match saw the aggressive side of Damian Priest as he lost to Shinsuke Nakamura after hitting him with a broken electric guitar.
The mighty Omos was able to win the 25-man Battle Royal to celebrate The Rock's 25th anniversary. He eliminated over 10 superstars, including his tag team partner AJ Styles.

The men's 5-on-5 traditional Survivor Series elimination match saw team RAW pick up the win with Seth Rollins as the sole survivor. The women's 5-on-5 match was won by RAW as well. Big E put on a great fight in the main event but unfortunately lost to Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
Here are five things we learned at Survivor Series 2021.
#5. The opening match was a war at WWE Survivor Series 2021
Becky Lynch took on her long-term rival Charlotte Flair in a Champion vs. Champion match to start the show. The buildup, which started at the controversial 'championship exchange' segment back in October, was probably the best among the other matches on the card.
'The Man' was seen trash-talking ahead of the match. Both stars started brawling as soon as the bell rang. The bout was fast-paced and both stars used hard-hitting strikes to inflict damage.
Just like their previous segment, the end to their match at Survivor Series was controversial as well. Charlotte Flair tried to hold the rope while pinning Becky Lynch for the three-count. However, the referee saw it and stopped it.
Big Time Becks rolled over and pulled the same stunt. This time, however, the referee didn't notice that she had grabbed the ropes to apply extra pressure onto the pin.
Hence, Becky Lynch emerged victorious at Survivor Series as one of the best women's matches in recent memory ended in an unexpected way.
#4. Jeff Hardy's push has been restored at WWE Survivor Series 2021
One of the most-loved WWE legends of all time, Jeff Hardy was part of Team SmackDown in the 5-on-5 traditional Survivor Series match.
He had lost all of his momentum as a RAW Superstar. Thankfully, he was drafted to SmackDown in the 2021 WWE Draft and represented the blue brand at Survivor Series 2021.
The Charismatic Enigma was among the last two competitors remaining. Unfortunately, he lost the match after getting pinned by Seth Rollins. But this could be a positive sign for Jeff Hardy's future in WWE.
Although he didn't win, Hardy emerged as the hero of the contest. He was involved in significant spots and also eliminated team RAW member Austin Theory.
Hopefully, the former World Champion's push will continue, and we will soon see a title around his waist.
#3. RAW emerged as the dominant brand at WWE Survivor Series 2021
This year's Survivor Series was booked to make RAW look stronger. From a total of seven matches, RAW won five. SmackDown could only win two matches, one of which came via disqualification in the kickoff show.
The Red Brand stood tall in both 5-on-5 elimination matches, thanks to Bianca Belair and Seth Rollins. The 25-man Battle Royal was won by Omos, who is a RAW Superstar as well. Becky Lynch defeated Charlotte Flair to pick up another win for the Monday Night Show.
Thankfully, Roman Reigns added a win for SmackDown as he defeated the WWE Champion Big E in the main event. Damian Priest would have won his match for RAW but snapped at Rick Boogs and got disqualified, hence losing the match to SmackDown Superstar Shinsuke Nakamura.
This year's edition of Survivor Series seemed one-sided. Hopefully, next year's event will witness a better competition. As of now, RAW seems far stronger than SmackDown.
#2. Bianca Belair proved that she is the strong-EST at WWE Survivor Series 2021
Towards the end, Team SmackDown was projected to win the Women's 5-on-5 traditional Survivor Series match as four members from the blue team were contesting. In contrast, team RAW had only one superstar remaining.
However, the members of the Blue Brand made the wrong decision by letting their captain, Sasha Banks, get eliminated via count-out. Bianca Belair was left alone on RAW. Unexpectedly, the EST of WWE proved her worth by eliminating all three opponents on her own, becoming the sole survivor.
The win will benefit her momentum as she recently lost major matches against Becky Lynch. Hopefully, Belair will rekindle her rivalry against Becky Lynch soon and become the new RAW Women's Champion.
#1. Big E is strong, but not stronger than Roman Reigns at WWE Survivor Series 2021
WWE Champion Big E clashed against the Universal Champion Roman Reigns on the main event of Survivor Series 2021. The audience was evenly divided as many were in support of the New Day member.
The match was decently paced and focused on the strength of the competitors. Big E kicked out of the spear while Roman Reigns was able to stay in the match even after getting hit by a Big Ending.
Unfortunately, Big E's knee was hurt during the battle, and the Tribal chief used it to his advantage to win the match at WWE Survivor Series 2021. The finish made sure that the WWE Champion looked strong even after losing his match at Survivor Series.
Big E's fantastic performance will surely add to his legitimacy as the WWE Champion, and his rivalry with Seth Rollins will feel more intense. Hopefully, Big E will defeat Roman Reigns whenever they cross paths next time.
