Three Thoughts:
Clean Sweep
The big storyline heading into the men’s elimination match was if Raw could get along well enough to even have the match. We got our answer as Raw swept SmackDown clean as a whistle. Seth Rollins offered himself up to be eliminated “for the greater good”, which put SmackDown down early. Raw wasn’t a truly cohesive unit until the very end, where they managed to stave off a valiant effort from Jey Uso to get the sweep.
Jey Uso wasn’t able to pull off the dramatic one-on-five comeback, and had to answer to the head of the table. Roman Reigns then kicked Jey and Jimmy out of the building. The new-look Reigns has no time for losing.

Lana Steals A Win
The women’s elimination match was a strange affair. It seemed like the perfect vessel to strap a rocket to a young star like Bianca Belair. She did make it to the end of the match, but that wasn’t the endgame. Instead, Lana was the sole survivor.
Early in the match, Lana had been chastised by Nia Jax for tagging herself in. Jax told Lana to stand on the steps and not move. Well in the end, Jax and Belair went to a double countout and only Lana was left on Team Raw. She’s the sole survivor, and gets one over on Jax finally. Does it feel like a natural end to Lana going through the announce table? Yes, but it still fell flat.

Rest In Peace
The Undertaker has retired. A cavalcade of legends were on hand to see him off, including Ric Flair, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, The Godfather and even The Godwins. His kayfabe brother Kane was there in full gear for some reason. Undertaker made his final walk to the squared circle. There was no angle, no breaking of kayfabe. Undertaker told us it was time for him to rest in peace, we got a cool Paul Bearer hologram, and he walked off. Congratulations to Undertaker on one of the most incomparable careers in wrestling history.

Grade: B-
This show was inoffensive. The matches had some quality wrestling. New Day & Street Profits had an excellent tag team clash. Reigns and McIntyre put on a classic bout that shows they may need to be the main event of Wrestlemania. Both elimination matches had some good spots. Asuka and Sasha Banks should wrestle at minimum once a month, and Sami Zayn is somehow still underrated after his years on the main roster. Still, it feels for not. The only thing folks will remember is the retirement of The Undertaker.
One for the Road:
The night was about The Undertaker, but the real star was now one-time 24/7 Champion Gobbledygooker. 30 years of THAT legend.
It’s a CLASSIC birdseed trap!
Sorry #GobbledyGooker (and @TozawaAkira), @RonKillings just got his baby back at #SurvivorSeries!
