Was decent but very VERY predictable nearly to a T. Outside of the main event you knew who was going to win every match because you knew it had to be all tied up going into the main event. You knew Brock was going to win but damn, I'm glad they let AJ actually put on a match in there as it came out so much better than Brock vs Joe or Brock vs Strowman. I was scared AJ would get squashed in 5 minutes so what we got was great. So right there you knew you had a 1 - 0 for RAW. You knew The Shield was going to win because well they're the Shield and since they didn't fully return at TLC this was their first time as the full trio so we knew that wasn't going to end in a loss. 2 - 0 for RAW. You HAD to assume that the RAW women's team was going to win because it'd be hard to justify eliminating Asuka unless they did it in some really fishy way to keep her undefeated streak so once again you're pretty predictable in 3 - 0 for RAW. So in order to create the tie for the main event you we able to safely predict Corbin over Miz, Uso's over The Bar, Charlotte over Bliss (ugh I hate Charlotte's face so much).
Then you have the mens survivor series style main event which was pretty predictable in spots. I personally thought that Team SD was going to win with Orton as the Sole Survivor because Orton has a track record of this at Survivor Series. I figured they'd eliminate Braun with an AA through the announcers table getting him counted out and that HHH and Angle would impload leading to one of them getting eliminated setting up a WrestleMania feud and that Orton would eliminate Balor via RKO outta no where and so on. Most of these things did happen except Team RAW won and Strowman wasn't eliminated but did have his table spot. In the end while this match was enjoyable for the most part it focused WAY too much on HHH, Angle, and Shane which was the one thing I HATED about the build up to this match and once again these old guys are over shadowing the great younger talent that they have. Move over young guys you gotta make room for two 48 year old's (HHH, Angle) and a 47 year old non wrestler (Shane). It just became such a waste and predictable once you knew these guys were in the match which sucked.
Over all it was a decent show but I preferred NXT War Games. Velveteen Dream vs Aleister Black and War Games stole the weekend for me.
