[4.0] "I didn't think the in ring work of this match was bad but overall the poor booking decision of raw winning a clean sweep over smackdown - i felt like jey who they were pushing back then should've maybe gotten a couple pins over raw"

[4.0] "This was a very weak match between both teams with below standards in ring action and chemistry from all men involved and the elimination order was a joke with how Team Smackdown got completely decimated and all five members of Team Raw stood tall in the end."

[1.0] "These poor men. It's funny to read past comments from around the time of the event remarking upon how the match "could've been more competitive" which is...I guess true? But the lack of competition isn't an issue (I love a good squash), it's how thoroughly wasted the talent inside the ring was at the expense of the worst McMahon ideas of the pandemic. The ThunderDome as it existed wasn't a lifeline for the company but another additional curse - there was no genuine reaction from a crowd, who obviously would've shit on this from the start."

[6.0] "This wasn't wrestled poorly at all, and had it's moments, but the structure of the match was just so baffling. This made SmackDown look like shit and two members of team Raw aren't even employed anymore. I liked the team camaraderie on Raw that was built to for weeks, but other than that this was mediocre. [**3/4]"

[6.0] "Solid Survivor Series match that completed the story that was told on TV. Team Raw finally got it together and put forth a dominating performance. Some cool spots, especially the final elimination. Solid 6/10."

[1.0] "I just don't understand why they book Raw vs Smackdown matches in the most obtuse ways possible. They did it so perfectly in 2016 and have made major mistakes in every subsequent contest since."

[4.0] "Another very poor Survivor Series tag match. The build up to this was as low effort as possible. The Seth elimination was stupid, and wasn't explained nor mentioned throughout the rest of this match. The action wasn't anything too memorable besides a few individual performances. Kevin Owens, Jey Uso, and Keith Lee gave the best showings. Smackdown was buried in the most predictable way possible. Overall there wasn't any hook to the action or any good storytelling. **3/4"

[8.0] "8. 05/10: While the result may have rubbed some people the wrong way, I? m detached enough from the storylines and wrestlers these days that I enjoyed this purely as a wrestling match existing in a vacuum. And under those parameters, this is one fun, fast-paced, convincing, engaging tag team match up."

[5.0] "Smackdown not getting even one elimination was shocking and not in a good way. Seth Rollins practically eliminating himself could've been booked better. At least Otis got a moment to shine."

[6.0] "A pretty fun match, albeit with a predictable result. Not as great as it could've been considering the talent involved, but still good. ***1/4"

[7.0] "Lots of fast paced action and cool moments. Best thing: Otis stole the show. The worst thing: Seth eliminated himself on purpose."

[7.0] "I thought it was a perfectly fine sports entertainment match. Rollins' sacrifice totally screwed over the Smackdown team and they were steamrolled. Otis, Owens, & Uso looked good in defeat. Corbin was Corbin."

[7.0] "I appreciated this one. All the critiques are based on the workrate etc. and it's fine but all the lore around the Rollins actions makes me satisfied. A cleen sweep is also rare so, I think it's cool."

[5.0] "I think the pinnacle of Survivor Series is the 5v5 men's match. This match wasn't competitive at all and was an overall snoozefest IMO."

[7.0] "I feel like they did a good job booking team raw going into this match and after it I liked the Jey Uso story stuff. In terms of the actual match it was fairly competive for a 5-0 and there was some cool offense throughout."

[5.0] "A well-executed but fundamentally uninteresting affair. Riddle probably looked the best out of everyone involved, but it was pretty smoothly wrestled all round. No noteworthy spots, nothing too interesting at all outside of Seth's weird self-sacrifice at the beginning. A bit of a drab way to begin the show but it's perfectly watchable - just a bit of a disappointing product given the incredible levels of talent involved."

[6.0] "It was a decent battle royal but nothing special . it should have been way more competitive than that . team smackdown lost so easily ."

[3.0] "These men's brand warfare 5v5 tags have been degrading in quality year after year and this was the dirt worst, I was a big fan of the initial 2016 match, but now they're incredibly lazy. Apparently Smackdown was completely embarrassed by Raw is because Jey is a bad captain? They say this is the reason, but the actual match gives nothing to indicate this, a total mess."

[6.0] "I don't think it was as bad as people make it out to be. A sweep is an interesting decision, especially with RAW having in-fighting throughout the past few weeks. I think it made them look strong without anyone on Smackdown looking bad. The right team won."

[7.0] "Clean Sweep. It was a bold decision and imo a really good decision. SmackDown didn't really try to build towards SVR but Raw has been constantly putting out good promos and kept building towards SVR. Also Rollins sacrificing himself to Raw was a nice touch. Although they lost to Retribution last week, team Raw came together and acted as a unit and got a clean sweep victory over Team SmackDown. Good match. ***1/2"

[4.0] "I think I may have liked this more if I had any reason to care about the stakes of the match or the people involved. There was action and it was performed well but I just found the match itself so uninteresting. That's what happens when you put literally the minimum effort into build for something. If there were stakes, like the winning team/survivors getting title shots it, there'd have been reason to care. Instead it was a lifeless match with a lifeless storyline."

[7.0] "Owens had a really nice run in the match before getting eliminated by AJ. Otis was also really good throughout & was pretty easily the all around MVP of the thing; his BEEFY showdown vs. Keith Lee was neat & the hot tag he delivered where he threw people around with them sweet suplexes & beheaded one fool with a lariat - it was awesome stuff. This was a good match I thought, but it definitely falls into the "just one of the Survivor Series tag matches" category, as it wasn't very memorable or anything."

[7.0] "I really enjoyed this opener and thought despite the clean sweep, Team Smackdown looked very solid. The story of this match was Team RAW would fall apart but in the end they worked very well together. A fun opener I really enjoyed. ***1/2."

[6.0] "One of the worst Survivor Series match I've seen, I didn't expected anything from this match. Kevin Owens always bad used by WWE in the Survivor Series match, Seth Rollins' "sacrifice" made me curious about what's next for him. Team Raw won as expected."

[7.0] "To be honest, I thought it would be worse. But in the end, it wasn't bad. I got it. Seth Rollins surprised me, but it was cool. In General, the match was held in one breath. Even the hated Otis made me happy. The Ro team deserved to win! 3. 5 stars"

[6.0] "It was nothing memorable but I don't think it intended to be. The first interaction of KO/Riddle woke me up a bit from a very uneventful start, with Owens targeting the feet. Strowman's in better shape and the most mobile he's been since the early days of his singles push. From the momento Seth took himself out it was clear the goal was to advance some storylines and not to a blow-away match... So that's pretty much what we had, punctuated by Keith Lee continuing his "sort-of push" on Raw by completing the last elimination (catching Jay mid-air into the spirit bomb, which did look great) and being the main face on the final image you keep from the match. ***"

[4.0] "Otis, Kevin, Uso, and Lee had a tremendous showing but that's just about it. I've always supported the concept of Raw vs. Smackdown because when done well (2016), it can truly be awesome, but they always go with the same "Can these teams co-exist? " narrative and it's so painfully dull and deprived of creativity, and this was yet another re-iteration of the same story and it sucked."

[7.0] "As a big fan of the majority of guys in this match, I didn't love this as much as I wanted to. I think the 2016 Survivor Series brand warfare match has set the bar too high, as every year I keep hoping for something on that level and not quite getting that. Still, this was a fun match with some good story to it, even if I'm not crazy about the clean sweep booking. Seth "sacrificing" himself gave a good excuse for Smackdown to go into a hole, though, and it did feel like most of the guys got a chance to look good, plus some really fun exchanges like Otis and Keith Lee or Braun, which were both way more fun than they had any right to be."

[8.0] "I actually had alot of fun with this. Im not bothered by the clean sweep, its nice to see a team be really dominant. Alot of fun spots, and Keith Lee was awesome as usual."

[6.0] "First half was very boring, where time stood still with the Otis/Keith Lee big man exchange. 2nd half was mostly good, although Jey Uso and Riddle briefly got lost. The Seth elimination was stupid. Why should I care about a match where the teams are fighting, and one of the big stars simply lays down. That diminished the importance of the match. Finally the burial of Smackdown was annoying, but predictable."
