WWE Survivor Series 2017 results: Team 'RAW' earns bragging rights; Lesnar wins battle of champions image

Sporting News has all the Survivor Series 2017 results you need, right here.

Come the end of the night, it was Team "RAW" holding bragging rights over Team "SmackDown" at Survivor Series.

The scorecard was tied at three matches apiece heading into the men's 5-on-5 elimination match in the main event. While there were plenty of first-ever matchups in the ring between the teams, those were short-lived with Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Roode, Samoa Joe and Finn Balor eliminated before the halfway mark. Even John Cena didn't make it to the final few minutes with the last man standing for Team "SmackDown" being Shane McMahon of all people. 

SURVIVOR SERIES: What worked, what didn't, what comes next

He didn't stand much of a chance against the three remaining members of Team "RAW" in Kurt Angle, Triple H and Braun Strowman. There was a twist with Triple H turning on Angle and helping McMahon pin him. But that was for his own selfish reasons of wanting to take credit for the victory as he then finished off McMahon and basked in the glory. Even that was only for a few minutes before Strowman got angry and left him laying in the ring.

Elsewhere on the show, Brock Lesnar defeated AJ Styles in an exciting, first-ever matchup between the two champions while The Shield scored a victory against The New Day.

WWE Survivor Series 2017 results

10:47 p.m.: Strowman is puzzled but gets in the ring and raises his hand with Triple H. After some gloating by "The Game" Strowman grabs him by the throat and backs him into the corner yelling "if you ever cross me again...you will never play this game again!" He lets go and starts to walk away but Triple H attacks him from behind. Bad move and Strowman plants him with a powerslam to the delight of the crowd. Triple H gets up and another powerslam by Strowman. Maybe he finally learned his lesson. And that's the show. (FYI - I was 5-2 with my predictions which I'll gladly take.)

Traditional 5-on-5 elimination Survivor Series men's match: Team "RAW" beats Team "SmackDown Live"

10:44 p.m. FINISH: The crowd is silent and Shane isn't sure what to make of it. Then Triple H kicks him in the gut and hits the Pedigree for the win. He wanted to get the win for Team "RAW" and not let Angle take credit. Quite the strange ending to the match as Team "RAW" wins the night 4-3 over Team "SmackDown Live".

10:41 p.m. ELIMINATION: Yep, it's Shane McMahon as the last man for Team "SmackDown" against Angle, Strowman and Triple H. Angle and Triple H aren't exactly being friendly but are trying to work together. Angle gets McMahon in the Ankle Lock and holds it forever in the center of the ring before Triple H breaks it up and hits a Pedigree on Angle. Then he puts Shane on top of Angle for the pin. The crowd is stunned. 

10:39 p.m. ELIMINATION: Shane is down outside the ring and Orton is alone in the ring. Not good for him and Strowman takes advantage, hits a powerslam and scores the win. And then there was one for Team "SmackDown". 

10:35 p.m.: It's down to Randy Orton and Shane McMahon against Triple H, Kurt Angle and Braun Strowman. Who would have guessed that? Then out of nowhere, Owens and Zayn come from the crowd and attack McMahon but you can't keep Shane-o-Mac down as he grabs a chair and runs them off.

10:33 p.m. ELIMINATION: Outside the ring, Balor with a full sprint and drop kicks McMahon hard into the barricade. He goes back inside the ring and Orton meets him with an RKO and Balor is out.

10:32 p.m. ELIMINATION: Now it's Cena and Angle squaring off for the first time in over a decade. Angle get the Angle Lock but Cena gets out of it. Angle Slam followed by Balor hitting the Coup de Grace behind the ref's back and another Angle Slam and John Cena has been eliminated. Didn't see that one coming.

10:28 p.m. ELIMINATION: Shane McMahon goes to the top rope and teases a big elbow onto Strowman but Samoa Joe comes up from behind and knocks him back in the ring. Tag made and it's Cena versus Joe. Balor tags in and goes to the top rope but before he can come off, Joe tags himself back in. Balor is not happy and Cena takes advantage as he hits an AA on Balor and then on Joe for the pin. 

10:26 p.m.: Some in-fighting between Team "RAW" as Triple H and Angle start pushing one another and it's chaos between the teams. Cena and Orton double-team Strowman to send him to the floor. Then they try to suplex him through the announcer's table but can't get him up. The rest of the team, including Nakamura and Roode despite being elimianted, help out and Strowman goes through the table.

10:23 p.m. ELIMINATION: Roode gets in the ring but Strowman quickly finishes him off with a powerslam and "RAW" takes a 5-on-3 advantage.

10:22 p.m. ELIMINATION: Nakamura back in the ring but so is Strowman who snatches up the "SmackDown" opponent, hits his big powerslam and scores the win. I'm sad.

10:20 p.m.: Triple H teases a "Glorious" taunt but instead does a DX crotch chop. Roode comes back with a spinebuster and does his "Glorious" spot. Slow build so far with the first-ever matchups but it's starting to pick up.

10:16 p.m.: Triple H wants a piece of Nakamura and gets the tag. They exchange knees and kicks before Nakamura staggers into his corners and Bobby Roode tags in.

10:13 p.m.: Randy Orton and Samoa Joe are in the ring for the first time ever. They both tag out and now it's former New Japan stars Shinsuke Nakamura and Finn Balor squaring off for the first time. Yes, please.

10:10 p.m.: Long time for all of the entrances but it's finally starting. Shane McMahon jumped Braun Strowman from behind and quickly realized that was a bad move. Duh. 

10:02 p.m.: Time for the main event and was there any question this would be going on last? It's tied up at 3-3 between "RAW" and "SmackDown Live" so bragging rights are on the line in this one.

9:55 p.m.: Strong match and arguably the best one of the night. You can bet there will be some complaints that Styles shouldn't have lost clean and it makes "SmackDown Live" look inferior to "RAW" but is anyone surprised by that? First of all, it's Lesnar who is always going to be protected, especially with WrestleMania season right around the corner. Plus, Styles didn't get dominated and had his chances but simply got caught. Still, I would have preferred Styles to lose following some interference by Jinder Mahal rather than a clean loss. 

Can we focus on how I'm 5-1 on my predictions so far?

Brock Lesnar defeats AJ Styles

9:47 p.m. FINISH: Styles goes to the apron, takes to the air, and hits the Phenomenal Forearm but Lesnar survives. He goes for it again but Lesnar catches him, hits a thunderous F5 and it is over.

9:45 p.m.: Awesome springboard 450 splash by Styles who makes the cover but Lesnar kicks out at the last second. Lesnar gets to his feet and Styles takes him down and locks on the Calf Crusher! The crowd is going nuts and Lesnar literally smashes Styles head into the mat over and over until he's free. Unreal.

9:44 p.m.: Lesnar is outside the ring and Styles flies over the top with a big forearm. Another big shot and Lesnar falls awkwardly over the ring steps. Styles with a third forearm off the steps and Lesnar is in trouble as they go back in the ring. 

9:42 p.m.: Lesnar is trying to stand up but Styles hits him with a Pele kick to the back of the head. Styles goes for the Phenomenal Forearm and Lesnar snatches him in midair and delivers a crushing suplex.

9:39 p.m.: Here comes AJ! He's firing punches and Lesnar ends it just like that. he picks him up for the F5 but Styles slides out and into the corner. Lesnar goes for a knee but misses and now AJ knocks him down for the first time.

9:37 p.m.: All Lesnar still as he smashes Styles face-first into the ringside announcer's table and then another monster suplex back in the ring. He's picking Styles apart.

9:35 p.m.: Lesnar won't give Styles any space and is manhandling him including a huge over-the-head suplex. #SuplexCity 

9:33 p.m.: Lesnar is bullying Styles early, smashing him in the corner and tossing him around. Big boy doing big-boy stuff.

9:31 p.m.: Here we go! This one should be awesome.

9:22 p.m.: Physical match but a little sloppy at times. Still, it was a good showing for Bliss who got in the bulk of the offense and Charlotte gave her the nod of approval after the match. Chalk up another correct prediction for me.

Charlotte defeats Alexa Bliss

9:20 p.m. FINISH: Bliss goes for Twisted Bliss off the top rope but Charlotte gets her knees up. Then she (kind of) connects with a big kick to the face and puts on the Figure 8 and Bliss taps out. 

9:17 p.m.: Charlotte goes for a moonsault off the top rope but Bliss moves out of the way. Charlotte is angry and Bliss looks scared but hits a DDT. She makes the cover but Charlotte gets her foot on the ropes and Bliss is going crazy. 

9:15 p.m.: Every time Charlotte gets in a move, Bliss comes right back this time with a guillotine but Charlotte won't give up. A show of strength as Charlotte counters by picking Bliss up and delivers a powerbomb. The crowd is getting into this now.

9:13 p.m.: Alexa has been getting in a ton of offense including an sunset bomb but Charlotte kicks out again. 

9:10 p.m.: Charlotte with the roll-up but Bliss pushes her off and head first into the middle turnbuckle. Bliss with a DDT and then with double knees to the back off the top rope but Charlotte kicks out. 

9:07 p.m.: SIde note: Jason Jordan is in the house and maybe some foreshadowing here.

9:06 p.m.: Interesting match here and another big opportunity for Alexa Bliss to show how far she's come. 

9:01 p.m.: I'm back on track with my predictions and am now 3-1 following the win by The Usos. 

The Usos defeat Sheamus and Cesaro

8:55 p.m. FINISH: Some fast action to close it out as The Usos isolate Sheamus in the ring and give him a double superkick. Tag made while flying over the top rope and crashing down on Cesaro outside the ring followed by a big splash on Sheamus for the pin. Good match but crowd was dead in spots until the end.

8:54 p.m.: Great spot as Sheamus was going for a move off the top rope but it go turned into a Samoan Drop. Jey makes the cover but Sheamus kicks out just before the three count.

8:52 p.m.: This looked to be over with a big double-team move for the "RAW" team but Jimmy saves his brother at the last second.

8:51 p.m.: Outside the ring, Sheamus throws Jimmy into the barricade. Jey is distracted and Cesaro puts him in the Big Swing and the Sharpshooter but Jey finally get to the ropes.

8:48 p.m.: Jey finally gets tagged in and he's going wild but the crowd is rather mild. Cesaro with a big uppercut but then Jey backdrops the "Swiss Superman" into the corner.

8:46 p.m.: Cesaro gets tagged in and takes out Jey in the corner. Jimmy gets free but no one is there to make the tag and he's in trouble. 

8:43 p.m.: Sheamus and Cesaro have slowed things down with Jimmy Usos closed off. Sheamus hits the Irish Curse but Jimmy kicks out at two.

8:40 p.m.: Not only is Sheamus sporting the Hawk but it has white tips. The guy has no fear.

8:35 p.m.: Yes, my first miss on predictions. Bummer.

8:33 p.m.: After the match, Renee Young talks to Corbin in the ring who tells everyone...

Baron Corbin defeats The Miz

8:31 p.m. FINISH: The Miz with a series of "YES" kicks and but when he charged at him a minute later, Corbin catches him with the Deep Six and get the win. "SmackDown Live" gets on the board but trails 2-1.

8:28 p.m.: Corbin is going to town on one leg and he drops both Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. The Miz rolls him up from behind but can't get the three count. Crowd is into the near falls but isn't sure who to root for.

8:25 p.m.: The Miztourage lends a helping hand as Bo Dallas cracks Corbin in the knee behind the referee's back and now The Miz is going to work on his knee and cinches in the Figure Four.

8:23 p.m.: Maryse is in the front row at ringside and gives her man a kiss before the match. These two are starting fast, slugging it out in and out of the ring. Corbin went over to Maryse already to talk some trash too.

8:20 p.m.: Give The Miz credit for hyping up this match the best he can. However, it's still the match that doesn't have high expectations but maybe these guys can deliver.

8:12 p.m.: Great showing by Asuka who is being kept very strong on the main roster following up on her dominating run in NXT. And I'm 2-for-2 on my predictions so far.

Traditional 5-on-5 elimination Survivor Series women's match: Team "RAW" beat Team "SmackDown Live"

8:08 p.m. FINISH: Asuka makes Tamina tap out with an armbar. Then a roundhouse kick to Natalya and she puts her in the Asuka Lock and Nattie has to give up. Another win for Team "RAW" which is 2-for-2 on the night.

8:06 p.m. ELIMINATION: Sasha with the Bank Statement on Natalya but Tamina makes the save. Natalya takes advantage by putting Banks in the Sharpshooter and she taps out. Asuka is the along for Team "RAW'.

8:05 p.m. ELIMINATION: Don't mess with Asuka who crushes Carmella and finishes her off with a kick to the face while she's on her knees. It's down to Asuka and Sasha for "RAW" and Natalya and Tamina for "SmackDown". 

8:02 p.m. ELIMINATION: A bit clunky as Naomi pulls over Alicia Fox and the referee counts three put Alicia tries to keep going but the ref pushes her out of the ring. Sasha Banks immediately jumps in and slaps the Bank Statement on Naomi who taps out. 

7:58 p.m. ELIMINATION: Nia Jax was taking control but Tamina with a pair of superkicks puts Nia on the floor. Naomi hits a big splash and then Tamina gives her a splash off the ropes onto the floor. The ref is making the count and Tamina just makes it back in but Nia is counted out. One of the big hitters is gone from Team "RAW".

7:55 p.m. ELIMINATION: It's serious Bayley tonight who has been in control before Carmella catches her with a superkick. Then Tamina with a splash off the top rope and Bayley is out. Even numbers again with both teams at four. 

7:52 p.m. ELIMINATION: That didn't take long. Bayley with a blind tag, rolls up Becky Lynch from behind and gets the pin. Wow.

7:51 p.m.: Team captains Alicia Fox and Becky Lynch start it off. I wonder how long this match will go.

7:44 p.m.: Time for the first elimination match with the ladies. In case you hadn't heard, WWE announced on Saturday that Natalya is the fifth and final member of Team "SmackDown Live". So much for the suspense in that one with some thinking it could have been Paige or Nikki Bella in that spot.

7:39 p.m.: Very good match to start the show and I'm 1-for-1 with my predictions. 

The Shield defeats The New Day

7:38 p.m. FINISH: Woods and Big E are down outside the ring and Reigns drops Kingston inside the ring with a Superman punch. The Shield then deliver a triple-team powerbomb off the top rope and get the win.

7:36 p.m.: Double Midnight Hour and this match looked to be over but Reigns breaks it up with a spear. The teams square off in the center of the ring and it's pandemonium!

7:34 p.m.: The Shield were about to go for the group powerbomb but Big E would have none of it and pulls Reigns out of the ring and The New Day has new life. It's broken down with everyone fighting around the ring. Now, Big E gets on Woods' shoulders with Kofi flying over them with a splash on Ambrose and then Big E gets dropped on him. That's a new one.

7:30 p.m.: Kingston gets isolated in the ring with Rollins connecting with a big knee and then Ambrose with Dirty Deeds. Rollins makes the cover and Woods make the last second save.

7:29 p.m.: Ambrose was being worked over but finally made the tag to Ambrose who hits a blockbuster and a slingblade on Woods. Reigns tags him with Rollins hitting a bucklebomb and Reigns follows it up with a big clothesline. Action is picking up now.

7:25 p.m.: It's spilling out onto the floor and Big E hits a crazy spear through the ropes to the floor. Crazy.

7:23 p.m.: Unicorn Stampede on Ambrose in the corner and fans are actually booing The New Day. This crowd is pro-Shield.

7:20 p.m.: Big E has no respect for the Big Dog.

7:15 p.m.: Here we go with Dean Ambrose with Kofi Kingston to start it off. Ambrose and Rollins are wearing t-shirts that are half "RAW", half Shield. Oh no. Roman Reigns is having none of it and wearing his regular gear.

7:09 p.m.: The New Day is the superior brotherhood.

7:05 p.m.: Hot match to start the show as their breaking out the six-man tag to kick things off. This should be fantastic and some think it could be the match of the night.

7:00 p.m.: It's 7 o'clock...you know what that means.

 

WWE Survivor Series 2017 kickoff show

6:55 p.m.: Before the main card gets underway, here are my predictions for the show: "SmackDown Live" men in 5-on-5 match, "RAW" women in
5-on-5 match, Brock Lesnar, Charlotte, The Shield, The Usos, The Miz. We'll see how good I do.

6:52 p.m.: Survivor Series has been the place for a lot of debuts over the years including the current "RAW" GM and "The Stinger" a few years back. There was also the Goobledy Gooker years ago so I guess it evens out.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeat Breezango

6:44 p.m. FINISH: Zayn and Owens get control and work over Breeze who finally makes the tag to Fandango. He runs wild but then runs into a KO pop-up powerbomb and it's over.

6:38 p.m.: 'Dango with dropkicks to both Owens and Zayn and it's time to hand out some violations. Guilty as charged.

6:35 p.m.: Get pumped!

6:34 p.m.: Owens and Zayn are not happy that they have to face the Fashion Police and want an investigation into the "insane vendatta" Shane McMahon has against them. And they won't help "SmackDown Live" because it's not their problem and they won't get in the middle of a family squablle. Zayn was still talking when Breezango's music hit and he looked a bit miffed.

6:28 p.m.: The kickoff show panel is talking about potential faceoffs in the men's 5-on-5 elimination match tonight. Shane McMahon and Triple H going head-to-head is the one getting the most attention and for good reason. I'm a bit surprised that John Cena returning for this show hasn't been talked up more.

6:24 p.m.: Reminder to head over to Twitter and follow the Sporting News' wrestling account. You'll get breaking news and stories from myself and the entire wrestling staff. 

Enzo Amore beats Kalisto to retain the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

6:17 p.m. FINISH: Enzo did it again as he stayed alive and found the spot to take advantage as he drives Kalisto's face into his foot and that's all she wrote.   

6:13 p.m.: Enzo tries to drill Kalisto in the corner again and then the luchador connects with a beautiful moonsault. He's on fire now.

6:10 p.m.: Kalisto hits a really cool Code Red early on and almost wins it there. Few minutes later, Enzo is in control and drills Kalisto with an elbow in the face while he's hanging upside down in the corner.

6:05 p.m.: Here he comes...

6:00 p.m.: The Miz can't help himself in being annoying, even picking on Charlie and the questions that were chosen from the WWE Universe. I have to side with him on this one. These questions are rather lame including if he is feeling any pressure from the rest of the 'RAW' roster to win tonight. But Miz is awesome is being snarky about everything. He is a true treasure.

5:57 p.m.: The Miz is sitting down backstage with Charlie to answer some questions from social media. And he's ready to unleash holy hell on Baron Corbin.

Elias defeats Matt Hardy

5:52 p.m.: Afterwards, Shawn MIchaels says it's a huge momentum win for the Drifter while the others squirmed since that nickname was x-nayed months ago. Oops.

5:50 p.m. FINISH: Hardy was selling his left shoulder for the second half of the match after Elias drove him into the corner post. He connects with the Drift Away and scores the win.

5:45 p.m.: I think the announcers have spent more time running down the Survivor Series card than calling this match so far which has been mostly headlocks and armbars so far. And then Matt connects with s Side Effect on the apron!

5:37 p.m.: Time for some in-ring action! Elias has one question for everybody: who wants to walk with Elias?!

5:33 p.m.: Words are flying now. Charlotte is calling out Alexa for not being with others on 'RAW' when they showed up on "SmackDown" and she made fun of her "Five Feet of Fury" line. Even before that, Renee asked Alexa about the big size difference between the women which Alexa did not take took kindly too.

5:30 p.m.: Shawn Michaels just repeated the infamous Survivor Series tagline that "tonight is the one night of the year where stars from 'RAW' and 'SmackDown' go head-to-head' and made of it being repeated over and over. Just another reason why HBK is the man. FYI - by my count it's already been said six times so far on this show.

5:17 p.m.: In case you were curious, The Miz is focused on his match against Baron Corbin. The eyes of a killer.

5:13 p.m.: In case you hadn't heard, two matches have been added to the show kickoff show with Matt Hardy taking on Elias and the team of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn against Breezango. Dance everybody!

5:04 p.m.: Here's the kickoff show panel including H-B-Shizzle!

5:00 p.m.: Welcome to the live blog! In case you didn't know or forgot, Survivor Series is the one time a year that the stars of "RAW" and "SmackDown" compete against one another in one-on-one matches.
