Which Team Has Won The Most Matches In Survivor Series – RAW Or SmackDown?

It’s that time of year once again when RAW and SmackDown go head-to-head at WWE Survivor Series. The RAW vs SmackDown concept has been a huge hit in the modern era and has seen many champion vs champion matches, and the two brands collide in 5-on-5 traditional Survivor Series elimination matches.

The first-ever RAW vs SmackDown match took place at Survivor Series in 2005. It was a captivating storyline at the time, which saw both brands invade each other’s shows. It brought a new level of excitement, and it also pitted fans against one another supporting their favorite show. Behind the scenes, it appeared that it didn’t really click as the company put the RAW vs SmackDown concept to one side. It wasn’t until 2016, when they got fully behind it again, once a brand new roster split had taken place. Since then, it has become an annual fixture on the WWE calendar.

So which brand has the better record at WWE Survivor Series? Since 2016, inter-brand matches have become the norm at Survivor Series and the record stands at 6-4 in the favor of the RAW brand. The red brand has enjoyed a streak of dominance in recent years, dominating the past four inter-brand matches, with both male wrestlers and female superstars of RAW emerging victorious.

Wrestling fans awaited the 2023 edition of Survivor Series. Yes, said PPV used to be a thing and for some reason, the company decided to shift the focus away from Survivor Series and mold a PPV specifically for inter-brand matches.

Regardless, factoring in the matches that occurred on the Bragging Rights PPVs, the score would be 6-6, with both SmackDown and RAW winning six matches each and thereby ensuring a draw. The upcoming Survivor Series match (If the brand split survives till then) would decide which brand takes the lead.
