Intercontinental Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura (with Rick Boogs) defeated United States Champion, Damian Priest by disqualification. (Champion vs. champion match)
The Damian reared its ugly head to kick off Survivor Series, as Damian Priest used Rick Boogs’ guitar to knock out Shinsuke Nakamura and give the Intercontinental Champion the victory via disqualification.
The two evenly matched Superstars traded strikes as Boogs used his guitar stylings to power up Nakamura and aggravate Priest. The Intercontinental Champion unloaded on Priest with his signature kicks, looking to end the match with a Kinshasa but instead ran into a massive chokeslam.
The Archer of Infamy locked in a submission, and just as it looked like Nakamura was unconscious, Boogs began to riff. The music revived The King of Strong Style and distracted Priest, who was nearly rolled up for the pin. An enraged Priest rolled to the outside and destroyed Boogs’ guitar, smashing the pieces on Boogs before turning around and using the guitar to knock out Nakamura for the disqualification.

RAW Women's Champion, Becky Lynch defeated SmackDown Women's Champion, Charlotte Flair. (Champion vs. Champion match)
Big Time Becks was true to her namesake, as Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch defeated SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair.
Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair opened Survivor Series with an instant classic.
The former friends turned bitter rivals blitzed one another at the opening bell as Flair went for the Natural Selection, but Lynch reversed it into a Dis-arm-her attempt. The Opportunity and Big Time Becks knew each other’s moves and pulled out all the stops to prove who was the better champion.
The animosity was evident as the two pummeled one another and one-upped each other, as Flair leveled Lynch with a big boot before The Man flattened The Queen with a Man-handle Slam, both for near-falls.
After connecting with a moonsault outside the ring, Flair rolled up Lynch and grabbed the ropes for extra leverage but was caught by the referee. Lynch took advantage of the miscue and reversed Flair for a rollup of her own and sneakily grabbed the ropes to keep Flair down for the three-count. (Via WWE.com)

Team RAW defeated Team SmackDown. (Men's 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match)
After Kevin Owens argued his way into opening the match for Team Raw, KO put the red brand in an early hole by immediately rolling out of the ring and walking up the ramp to get counted out. Team SmackDown took advantage of the numbers to maintain control and pick apart Team Raw.
When it looked like the blue brand would go up 5-3 as Happy Corbin covered Finn Bálor, Bobby Lashley dove in for the save, creating a few moments of chaos between all the Superstars. Bálor used the confusion to flip the script and land the Coup de Grace on Corbin for the pin to even the match at 4-4.
Lashley then started to assert his dominance, taking out Drew McIntyre outside the ring before Spearing King Woods and securing the Hurt Lock to put King Woods to sleep and eliminate him. The All Mighty looked to add another elimination, sizing up a hurt Jeff Hardy for a Spear until McIntyre tagged himself in.
The two storied rivals brutalized one another, but when the fight spilled to ringside and over the barricade, both Superstars were counted out.
With Sheamus and Hardy the only two SmackDown Superstars left, The Celtic Warrior evened the match with a Brogue Kick to Bálor for the three-count. Sheamus and Hardy put together some surprising tandem offense to keep Seth Rollins and Austin Theory on their heels, but the young upstart Theory surprised Sheamus with a quick rollup to leave The Charismatic Enigma as the last man standing for Team SmackDown.
After Sheamus left Hardy with a parting gift in the form of a clothesline, Rollins thought he had the match sealed with a splash from the top rope, but Hardy kicked out at two, much to The Visionary’s surprise.
It eventually came down to Rollins and Hardy one-on-one after a Swanton Bomb bested Theory. It looked as if Hardy would survive to give SmackDown the victory after he nailed Rollins with a Twist of Fate, but as he went for the Swanton Bomb, Rollins got his knees up and planted Hardy with a match-clinching stomp.

Omos won by last eliminating Ricochet. (Dual Branded Battle Royal)
AJ Styles used some wise strategy at the start of the 25-man battle royal, slipping between the ropes once the bell sounded to watch as his personal colossus Omos laid waste to the competition with three quick eliminations.
It was every man for himself as each Superstar went for eliminations regardless of brand. Sami Zayn attempted to form an alliance with Cesaro and Ricochet as the only members of SmackDown left, but the two wanted nothing to do with Zayn, dropping him with a pair of knees to the face before offering Zayn to The Street Profits for elimination.
After Styles was pulled out of the ring during a tug of war between Omos and an eliminated Commander Azeez, Omos turned his rage on the five competitors that were left, eliminating Apollo Crews, Cesaro, Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford until just him and Ricochet remained.
Ricochet tried to chop down Omos and lift him over the ropes, but Omos simply grabbed the much smaller Ricochet and launched him over the ropes like a ragdoll to be the last one standing. (Via WWE.com)

RAW Tag Team Champions, RK-Bro defeated SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The Usos. (Champions vs. Champions match)
On a historic night for Randy Orton that saw him break the record for most pay-per-view matches in WWE history, The Viper once again delivered an RKO out of nowhere to give RK-Bro a victory over The Usos.
Despite their new partnership, Orton and Riddle looked like veterans in the ring against the seasoned Usos.
Riddle showed off his high-flying skills with a moonsault off the second rope to the outside to take out Jimmy Uso. The Bloodline showed Riddle who the true high-flyers are with a dive through the ropes after a flying forearm and slam to the outside barricade stunned The Ultimate Bro.
The Usos dismantled Riddle until he was finally able to get some space and tag in The Viper, who pummeled The Usos, dropping Jimmy and Jey onto the announcer’s table. Orton went to strike with an RKO, but he instead ate a superkick from Jey Uso, only to fall backward into a tag by Riddle.
After surviving a flurry of offense by Riddle, The Usos leveled Riddle and Orton with Superkick after Superkick. Jimmy Uso climbed to the top rope for the splash on Riddle, but a legal Orton slid into the ring, catching Jimmy Uso mid-air for an RKO and the pin. (Via WWE.com)

TEAM RAW DEFEATED TEAM SMACKDOWN. (Women's 5-ON-5 TRADITIONAL SURVIVOR SERIES ELIMINATION MATCH)
Newcomer Toni Storm picked up a quick elimination to open the match, rolling up Carmella as she tried, and failed, to put on her mask.
A shorthanded Raw Team were easy pickings for the blue brand as Storm scored another elimination with a pin on Queen Zelina. Storm’s momentum ended there as Liv Morgan entered the match and hit the Oblivion to cover Storm for the pin.
With numbers still in their favor, Team SmackDown worked together to land back-to-back splashes from Shotzi and Banks to eliminate Morgan. Ripley attempted to even the odds for the red brand, but the numbers were too much, as she fell victim to a Backstabber, a reverse DDT and a knee to the face by Baszler in quick succession to be eliminated and leave Belair all by herself.
The EST of WWE held her own for a time but caught a break thanks to in-fighting on Team SmackDown. With Belair unconscious in the ring, Banks tagged herself in for the pin, much to the ire of Shotzi. Shotzi pulled Sasha outside the ring where she, Baszler and Natalya kept The Boss until she was eliminated via count-out.
Belair kept Team Raw’s hopes alive with a quick rollup of Natalya and a modified Glam Slam to Baszler to leave only herself and Shotzi remaining. Shotzi put the pedal to the metal to try and keep the tired Belair down, but the former SmackDown Women’s Champion caught Shotzi as she went for a Tornado DDT and planted her with a K.O.D. for the pinfall.

WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns (with Paul Heyman) defeated WWE Champion, Big E. (Champion vs. champion match)
The strength of WWE Champion Big E had WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns thinking twice in the early goings of the match.
The Head of the Table wisely rolled out of the way of Big E’s attempted splash on the apron and took advantage of a reeling Big E to methodically beat down The Powerhouse of Positivity. Despite being hurled into the ring post, Big E did not stay down for long, delivering some punishment with a splash and a uranage.
The two massive men battered one another as a shocked Reigns needed three Superman Punches to finally take Big E off his feet. Reigns set up for a Spear but turned around to a waiting Big E, who instead Speared Reigns through the ropes.
After a Spear from Reigns and a Big Ending from Big E both resulted in near-falls, the WWE Champion dragged Reigns outside the ring to slam him off the announcer’s table, the ring post and the barricade. The Head of the Table jumped back into action, flying off the stairs to deliver a thunderous Superman Punch before attacking the injured leg of Big E to set up another Spear for the 1-2-3.
