What will be the effects from the SmackDown LIVE men’s victory at Survivor Series?

5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Men's Elimination Match: Survivor Series 2016 (WWE Network Exclusive)

Team Raw (Reigns, Rollins, Owens, Jericho & Strowman) take on Team SmackDown LIVE (Shane McMahon, Ambrose, Orton, Styles & Wyatt): Courtesy of the award-winning WWE Network.

SmackDown LIVE had several high moments at Survivor Series, many of which could have a profound impact on Team Blue moving forward. One of the biggest highlights has got to be Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton’s victory in the epic 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Men’s Elimination Match.

Seeing as how The New Face of Fear has been looking to take over SmackDown LIVE since the Brand Extension, however, could this bright moment quickly descend into darkness? Could their win give The New Wyatt Family a stronger foothold on Tuesday nights? And while we are asking questions, will the ominous faction attempt retribution on the likes of Kane, who overcame Luke Harper in an explosive Kickoff Match? Or is there anyone else they’ll target the focus of their rage?

What about the tremendous physical toll of the Raw vs. SmackDown LIVE encounter? For instance, what is the current condition of Shane McMahon after Roman Reigns hit him with an earth-shattering Spear in mid-air as the SmackDown LIVE Commissioner was attempting to go Coast-to-Coast on The Big Dog, a moment that left McMahon unable to continue. Has SmackDown LIVE seen the last of James Ellsworth, who Braun Strowman hurled off the stage and through a table after the team “mascot” caused him to be counted-out by holding onto his foot from under the ring? 

Will AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose pick up right where they left off? (Our guess on this one is a profound yes, considering the fact that they couldn’t even stopping fight each other as teammates on Sunday’s pay-per-view. But we’re not complaining. After all, it allowed for a Shield reunion.
