Possibilities For Survivor Series 2018

Men's 5 on 5 Survivor Series Elimination Tag Match

Team RAW vs Team SmackDown

Team RAW: Bobby Lashley, Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor

Team SmackDown: Shane McMahon, Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, The Miz, Rey Mysterio

Two teams. One battle. With brand supremacy on the line, Shane McMahon's team clashes against the behemoth Braun Strowman's team. While this bout is certainly star-studded, with more analysis, one team has a clear and obvious advantage.

Team SmackDown is led by Shane McMahon, who is 48 years old and by no means has anyone ever accused him of being a full-time professional wrestler. Jeff Hardy is 41 years old and well outside his wrestling prime. The recently returned Rey Mysterio is 43 years old. Joined by The Miz and always dangerous Samoa Joe, 60% of Team SmackDown is over the age of forty.

Team SmackDown will contend with a team whose members are all currently in their wrestling primes: Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor, Braun Strowman, and Bobby Lashley are each legitimate Universal Championship contenders. They wrestle 300 days a year and not one of them is 40 years old yet. Age and physical prowess will be a huge factor in this bout.

For argument's sake, let's say Braun Strowman gets things started for Team RAW. Is there any member of Team SmackDown that is a legitimate opponent for someone that can toss trucks with relative ease?

Then there's Rey Mysterio, who is still very good at 43 years old; however, Finn Balor does everything Rey Mysterio used to do and arguably better.

If Team SmackDown chooses to utilize its resident beast in Samoa Joe, Team RAW has three answers in Lashley, Strowman, & McIntyre.

Don't look for this one to be remotely close and expect pure and utter domination from the much younger, much stronger, athletically superior Team RAW, who may just leave Survivor Series with every one of its members surviving.

Winners: Team RAW

Current Score: SmackDown 1 - RAW 1
