NXT decimates RAW and SmackDown at Survivor Series
The Survivor Series 2019 PPV was the 33rd edition of the event hosted and produced by the WWE Network. The Survivor Series 2019 was held on November 24, 2019, at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois.
Before this season, the Survivor series was held by WWE for its Red and Blue brands only – Raw and SmackDown respectively. But from this season we saw the introduction of its Black and Gold brand- the NXT, including NXT’s sister brand NXT UK(Both of them were grouped under the NXT).
As we have seen over the years, the primary theme of the Survivor Series has been battle among different brands of WWE for the establishment of supremacy over the others. The PPV traditionally includes featured matches involving wrestlers from the participating brands fighting against each other.
But this time as was evident from the WWE Results, NXT which was the debutant brand at the Survivor Series PPV, emerged as the more dominating brand out of the three. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that NXT completely decimated Raw and SmackDown at the Survivor Series 2019.
Let’s have a look at the WWE Results below to discuss this claim further.
