(The following was written on the 23rd of October 2016. It was written without
final confirmation of which women will actually be taking part in the match.
It was also written under the assumption that Sasha Banks will retain the RAW
Women's title at Hell In A Cell and Becky Lynch will still be the SmackDown
Women's Champion. It was also written before Emma had made her return to TV)
The following is how I would book the
2016 Survivor Series RAW vs. SmackDown Women's Elimination Match.
The Teams:
RAW: Sasha Banks (Captain), Charlotte, Bayley, Nia Jax & Dana Brooke
SmackDown: Becky Lynch (Captain), Nikki Bella, Naomi, Carmella & Alexis Bliss
Before said match begins both teams are seen with their respective owners &
General Managers being given a final pep talk about how their own brand based
rivalries must be put aside for the greater good.
The RAW dressing room seems a little tense as Sasha Banks & Charlotte are
ready to pick up from where they left off at Hell In A Cell and when Bayley
& Dana Brooke try to settle the pair down they are both told to "keep out of
adult business" As the RAW team leaves the dressing room Stephanie takes Nia Jax
aside and instructs her to make sure RAW wins at any cost and if Charlotte
and Sasha can't get along...then she is to remove Charlotte from the equation.
Nia questions Stephanie why she just doesn't bring Alicia Fox into the team but
Stephanie responds that Nia knows exactly the reason why. Nia smiles and walks
out.
Over in the SmackDown dressing room things seem a little desperate as RAW has
already won the tag team elimination match so its now a must win situation. Shane
& Daniel also express the importance of teamwork and putting aside personal grudges.
While Becky, Nikki & Naomi are on the same page...Alexa Bliss looks indifferent to the
situation while Carmella is still openly taunting and baiting Nikki Bella. A ring ready
Natalya walks in and asks Shane & Daniel if she's needed tonight and after a brief
silence Alexa and Carmella both shake their heads silently. Natalya then accuses
Shane & Daniel of favoring the rookies and storms out. Becky leads the team out
of the dressing room with Carmella the last to leave. Shane warns her not to screw
up out there...or she'll find herself back in NXT...or even worse...Fired.
All 10 ladies make their entrances with the only special notes being Dana Brooke
comes out to her own music and Charlotte skips wearing her robe with the usual fanfare.
The match starts out with Bayley & Alexa Bliss and every thing seems under control
for most part...but after 6 or 7 minutes...things start to unravel. Sasha Banks
accidentally knocks Charlotte off the apron whichs sends her flying into the guardrail.
Sasha then chooses to tag in Nia Jax who immediately starts a heavy beat down on Naomi.
Charlotte pulls Sasha off the ring apron and the two get right in each others face,
screaming abuse. Bayley & Dana again try to separate them but each are swatted aside
(Bayley by Sasha and Dana by Charlotte) as the two women begin to brawl and fight their
way around the ring and then up the entrance ramp.
While this is going on Naomi has turned the tables on distracted Nia Jax hitting
her with some signature moves before launching a springboard cross body to the
outside taking out Bayley & Dana. As Naomi rolls back in the ring she is crushed
by Nia Jax with a Fireman's Carry Powerslam.
1-2-3: Naomi Eliminated (Naomi heads to the back)
The RAW team regroups with Bayley & Dana back in position with Nia Jax staying in
the ring as the Fearless Nikki Bella steps in to face her.
Meanwhile Charlotte & Sasha have brawled all the way to the back with Charlotte
clearly becoming more unhinged by the minute. Stephanie and a group of referees
try to separate the two and in the commotion Stephanie is pushed aside and injured
by Charlotte as she grabs a steel folding chair to fend off the referees. Sasha
once again engages Charlotte as Mick Foley & Alicia Fox arrive. Foley calls for the
referees to let them go as Alicia helps Stephanie to her feet to find some medical
attention. Foley follows after Charlotte and Sasha.
Back in the ring Team SmackDown has effectively cut the ring in half and is working
over Nia Jax. Becky and Nikki hit a great double hip-toss on Nia setting up Alexa to
hit a Twisted Bliss but it only gets a 2 count. Carmella is tagged in next and lines
Nia up for a super kick but Nia counters with a devastating alabama slam.
1-2-3: Carmella Eliminated (Carmella rolls out of the ring but remains at ringside recovering)
Nia Jax finally makes a tag to Bayley as its now 3 on 3. The match gets back into
a regular rhythm with both teams making quick tags allowing everyone a moment or
two to shine. Nia Jax is once again tagged in with Nikki Bella tagging out Alexa Bliss.
Nikki begins to target Nia's right arm with several moves clearly setting her up
for Becky Lynch but at a key moment Nikki is pushed into the referee sending him
flying out of the ring. With this Carmella re-enters the ring and once again lines
Nia Jax up for a super kick but she moves and Carmella strikes Nikki right in the face.
A replacement referee enters the ring as Nia hits a running leg drop on Nikki.
1-2-3: Nikki Bella Eliminated (Nikki heads to the back as Carmella flees through
the crowd)
In the commotion Becky Lynch pounces and locks Nia Jax in the Dis-Arm-Her. Nia is
forced to tap out.
Submission: Nia Jax Eliminated (Nia heads to the back)
We cut to the back to see Sasha Banks throw Charlotte through a pane of (sugar) glass
before collapsing on ground nearby. Foley approaches shaking his head in dismay.
Sasha apologizes and states that this can't go on any longer. Foley nods his head
in agreement. Foley helps Sasha to her feet and the 2 walk off leaving Charlotte
on the ground covered in and surrounded by (sugar) glass.
*Cuts to the medical office*
Stephanie is on a bed having her ankle looked at by the doctors. Shane enters.
Stephanie is hostile at first but Shane explains he's here to check on her and
make sure she is okay. For all that has transpired between them they are still
family and responsible for the WWE. Shane is shocked at the utter chaos they
have witnessed during this match. Stephanie agrees and intends to have Charlotte
arrested and charged with assault. Shane nods in agreement and suggests that
perhaps they could help each other in this situation. He asks her if she would
be willing to trade a couple of superstars as he has a couple of problems of his
own.
Back in the ring its 2 on 2 as Bayley & Becky Lynch put on a show with Alexa
and Dana waiting in the wings. Bayley takes control and tags in Dana who appears
to have Becky nearly down for the count. Dana sets up for a Samoan Driver but
Becky is able to counter into a roll up for the 3 count.
1-2-3: Dana Brooke Eliminated (Dana heads to the back)
It appears Bayley is now left alone against Becky & Alexa before Sasha is spotted
making her way back down the entrance ramp. Sasha takes her place in the RAW
corner as Bayley engages Alexa Bliss.
*Cuts to the back*
Charlotte is attempting to make her way back to the ring but is confronted by a group
of Police Officers. They state she is under arrest for assaulting Stephanie and the WWE
Officials. Charlotte puts her wrists together in front of her before she begins laughing.
Charlotte is cuffed and placed in the back of a patrol car. It is announced that Charlotte
has been eliminated via disqualification.
Disqualification: Charlotte Eliminated (The patrol car is seen leaving the arena)
Bayley & Alexa continue to fight with Bayley eventually hitting a Bayley-to-Belly suplex
to pin Alexa.
1-2-3: Alexa Bliss Eliminated (Alexa heads to the back)
3 of 4 Horsewomen are left as Becky Lynch steps into what is now a handicap match.
Bayley tags in Sasha who has had enough time to recover somewhat and the 2 brand
champions go at it. Sasha hits the Backstabber and locks in the Bank Statement
but Becky is able to get to the ropes. Bayley calls to be tagged in...but Sasha
ignores her and attempts another Backstabber only to be caught with a Bexploder
suplex and is pinned.
1-2-3: Sasha Banks Eliminated (Sasha heads to the back)
And then there were 2. Bayley & Becky lock eyes in the middle of the ring before
unleashing everything they have left. Bayley hits a Bayley-to-Belly suplex but
Becky kicks out...Becky hits a Bexploder suplex but Bayley kicks out. Both women
are out on their feet as Bayley attempts a roll up but Becky counters it into
the Dis-Arm-Her and after Bayley resists for a few moments she finally taps out.
Submission: Bayley Eliminated
Becky helps Bayley up and the 2 embrace with a hug before Bayley leaves allowing
Becky to have her moment of Survivor Series Glory.

The Fallout: RAW
The next night on RAW Stephanie limps her way down to the ring and calls out Charlotte.
Due to her violent, obsessive and unhinged behavior Charlotte is being traded to SmackDown
for Natalya. But before she leaves she can tonight face Nia Jax in a falls count anywhere
match. Stephanie also announces next week Bayley will face Natalya for the number 1
contenders spot.
The Fallout: SmackDown
Shane & Daniel confront Carmella backstage and as she begins to explain that it was
an accident she super kicked Nikki Bella...Shane says he doesn't care because thanks
to the real team players SmackDown won. Shane then announces that Carmella is being
traded to RAW for Alicia Fox. Shane hopes she gets a chance to finally super kick
Nia Jax but before she leaves she can face Nikki Bella tonight just to settle their issues
once and for all.
***
So...as you can tell...I have a lot of time on my hands...Let me explain my reasons
for this booking:
Sasha Banks: The brawl backstage with Charlotte will hopefully keep Sasha looking
strong and her arrogant behavior towards Bayley could lead to a possible heel turn
if Bayley becomes the number 1 contender. I personally prefer Sasha as a heel.
Charlotte: I guess I'm trying to take Charlotte down a darker path with my booking...
but moving her to SmackDown would allow her to wrestle a new group of opponents
and possibly take on Alexa Bliss as a new protege. It would also give her a new goal
of being the first woman to hold the RAW & SmackDown titles.
Bayley: In my opinion Bayley has been booked terribly since being called up to the
main roster...so I would book her as RAW's last woman standing at Survivor Series and
possibly moving her into a feud for the RAW title with a heel Sasha.
Nia Jax: The fact Sasha & Charlotte are basically written out of the match allows
Nia to shoulder much of burden and makes her look stronger than ever. I also like
the idea of Nia being a personal enforcer/bodyguard for Stephanie.
Dana Brooke: Not really much here for Dana apart from finally ending her relationship
with Charlotte. I guess it all depends if Emma ends up on RAW...as they could team up
again or feud...either way.
Becky Lynch: I want Becky to be awesome...and people tell me she is awesome...but
since I've returned to wrestling...I haven't really seen it. She hasn't had the best
of the booking and her recent injury hurt as well. So...out of everyone in this match
Becky needs to look strong and needs to be the overall winner for her and her brand.
Nikki Bella: Nothing really special in this for Nikki apart from being "fearless"
in the face of Nia Jax. I've booked this as the end of her feud with Carmella.
Naomi: I know I've booked her as the first to be eliminated...but I have her
fighting strong against Nia Jax and have given her a few high flying spots early on.
Carmella: Again...I know my booking seems unfair...but the main reason is
to shake up the rosters and transferring Carmella to RAW gives you options.
Reuniting with Enzo & Cass for one...possibly teaming up with Dana Brooke if
Emma is on SmackDown...or may-be even teaming up with a heel Sasha.
Alexis Bliss: Again...because Becky is the main focus of the SmackDown team
and this match booking as a whole...Alexa is just there. I have her the second
last eliminated but this is mainly due to her being intelligent enough to work
with Becky & Nikki and avoid Nia Jax.
Natalya: A cameo simply to put Carmella and Alexa Bliss in their place. The
move to RAW can only help Natalya and gives her some interesting opponents
to fight such as Bayley, Nia Jax and Sasha Banks.
Alicia Fox: Another cameo as I feel she truly hasn't had enough screen or match
time since the brand split. A transfer to SmackDown should allow her some more
Television time.
Well...that's it.
Any thoughts? Feel free to leave a comment, question or even some abuse if
that's more your style.
