As announced on Raw, in honor of the recent release of THQ’s “SmackDown vs. Raw 2009,” five Divas from Raw will take on five Divas from SmackDown in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match.

Team Raw will be captained by Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix with Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle & Jillian filling out the rest of the team. Team SmackDown will be captained by Divas Champion Michelle McCool with Maria, Maryse, Victoria & Natalya rounding out the five-some.

These bouts are not only a test of endurance, but also of will and fortitude as strategy changes throughout the match. Though the match may start out with even numbers, as members of the teams are eliminated, they are forced to vacate ringside – leaving their team at a disadvantage, which could become more and more dire, even sometimes ending up in a 4-on-1 or 5-on-1 handicap.

Another interesting factor for this match is the fact that, although these beautiful Divas will all be looking to represent their given brands, the question remains if they will be able to coexist in the ring with the Divas on their own teams, knowing there is no love lost in certain instances.

Will Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix be able to partner with both Mickie James and Candice Michelle knowing the storied past between the three and the Women’s Championship? How will Natalya, Victoria and Maryse mesh with Divas Champion Michelle McCool and her colleague Maria in representing the blue brand?

The only way to find out who will prevail in this beautiful battle of the brands is to tune in and watch Survivor Series live this Sunday on pay-per-view.
