We knew SmackDown LIVE Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Maanger Daniel Bryan were coming to Raw. We didn’t know they wouldn’t be coming alone. What was initially a face-to-face between Raw and SmackDown LIVE’s brain trusts was poised to turn into a mugging when Raw’s Men’s Survivor Series team surrounded Shane and Bryan … until Team Blue revealed their collected aces in the hole: their Men’s squad of WWE World Champion AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton and Team Blue “mascot” James Ellsworth, who stormed through the audience to even the odds.

It didn’t take long for hostilities to arise in the impromptu confab between the two teams, from a pointed confrontation between Wyatt and Braun Strowman to a jaw-jacking between the two heavyweight champions. Still, cooler heads prevailed … until Dean Ambrose straight-up punched Chris Jericho in the face to instigate an all-out brawl that ended with Seth Rollins saving Roman Reigns from a Styles Clash and the two former brothers executing a Double-Powerbomb of The Phenomenal One over the top rope. To coin an old phrase, maybe the dysfunctional Team Raw is something to believe in after all.

The battle lines have been drawn and SmackDown LIVE Superstars have invaded Raw ahead of Survivor Series.
