As always, the Kick Off Show introduces us to the Kermesse, with interviews, opinions and more; the news here is that the Gobbledy Gooker appears and wins the 24/7 Championship from R-Truth. We also witness a dual brand Battle Royal that is won by Mr. Money in the bank The Miz which is an understandable choice, what is sad is that talents like Murphy have been thrown in the mix with no reason.
KICK OFF SHOW MARK: 6.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO FOCUS FOR THE MAIN CARD OF SURVIVOR SERIES!
We Start with the first of the two Traditional Survivor Series 5 on 5 Tag Team elimination match with Men's Team Raw that destroys Team Smackdown with a clean sweep: 5-0. This is an unexpected result since Team Blue is not that bad; many spots are not easy to explain, Seth Rollins who decides to "sacrifice" himself is the perfect example, and overall this match is not what it had to: bad start for the Show. MARK: 5.
Street Profits defeat New Day in a very very good match between the two best teams in the WWE right now which should define the importance of having a strong tag team division, too often forgotten. The teams reached their goal perfectly, amazing fight and one point for Team Blue. MARK: 8.
Bobby Lashley defeats Sami Zayn in a predictable match where Zayn tries to find an escape but the strength of Lashley and The Hurt Business is too much for him: normal administration for the CEO and now we cannot wait what's next for him and his buddies, on the other hand Zayn needs to rebuild his character and his reign and he must do that in a very short amount of time. MARK: 5.5.
Sasha Banks beats Asuka; many would say that this match has characterized the whole summer and therefore the expectations were not that high, however in my opinion these two have great chemistry and this fight is the proof. The match is inferior to those made during the summer, with some mistakes, however it never bores who's watching and the clean victory by Banks reinforces her dominance on the women's division while Asuka needs worthy opponent to make her Championship reign relevant, because she has all the qualities to do so. MARK: 7.
In a segment backstage, Truth regains the 24/7 Championship from Akira Tozawa who had won it from the Gobbledy Gooker.
Women's Team Raw defeats Team Smackdown with Lana sole survivor: The worst match of the night. It's sad to say, because the women are working very hard and it is a magical moment for all of them, but this match ruins their good work throughout the year. Bayley, longest reigning Smackdown Women's Champion in history and team captain, eliminated by Peyton Royce as first, but then Royce gets eliminated by Natalya; the useless addiction of Evans, Belair who has the opportunity to show why she is the EST of WWE but fails, good job by the Riott Squad but in the end Lana, who does nothing, wins the match. One word: embarrassing. MARK: 3.
Roman Reigns defeats Drew Mcintyre: WHAT. A. MATCH. This Reigns against this Mcintyre is the best thing of the entire Pay Per View alongside the tag team match. Two dominant champions, storytelling which is faithful to their respective characters, an imposing Reigns against a resilient McIntyre; the match is very technical and when the rhythm raises and the crowd starts chanting "This is awesome", the quality of the fight reaches very high levels. Reigns wins, a win which makes understand who the head of the table really is, but that at the same time does not affect Drew, who falls only after a Low Blow, a superkick from Jey Uso and a Guillotine from Roman. Spectacular! MARK: 9.
SURVIVOR SERIES ends with the final farewell to THE UNDERTAKER, with some of the Legends who characterized his career and Vince Mcmahon himself who pays tribute to this monumental persona. When the Deadman shows up and the thunders start, the electricity in the air is evident. People tribute their respect, while Mark Calaway, his real name, announces that The Undertaker will Rest In Peace.
OVERALL MARK FOR THE SHOW: 6.
This was SURVIVOR SERIES 2020, I am not sure that The Best of the Best came out from this night but not everything was bad. The first part is the negative side of the show, which ends in a better and emotional way. What is left is seing what consequences this result of 4 - 3 will have on both shows!
