So does anyone know if the RAW vs SD match is elimination or one fall?

Unfortunately, I found this @ wwe.com

Just as the name of the first-ever WWE Bragging Rights pay-per-view suggests, the Superstars of SmackDown and Raw will meet in a massive tag team confrontation to determine brand supremacy. In the midst of this 14-Superstar melee, only one pinfall will be needed to decide the winning team.

Rubbish!

Maybe they think its too close in the year to Survivor Series, but its only one match. This news makes that match go from a interesting and intriging match to a match that will probally be the worst of the night. It also means that guys like Escobar, Ziggler, McIntrye, Henry etc will get marginalised by the bigger stars. At least with the elimination format you could possibly get someone like Ziggler eliminating HBK or Maybe Big Show eliminating Jericho to add spice to their "tension". This way you can almost pick the the guys who will get the pinfall.

If history is anything to go by the finish will involve.

Jericho pinning Henry or Triple H pinning Escobar/McIntyre.

I suppose an interesting finish would be Jericho pinning Big Show or vice versa.

These matches to often become a match based on "Protecting" people, they ruined Classic Survivor Series matches back in the day attempting to protect people having them eliminated by count outs, dqs etc.
