In 2016, WWE twisted the Survivor Series rules in a way that pitted the top-flight Superstars from SmackDown against the best in the business from RAW. WWE scheduled two traditional five-on-five Survivor Series elimination matches and one tag team elimination match for the event - in addition to the other scheduled bouts for the night.

RAW was co-led by the Universal Champion Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho, whereas SmackDown Live was led by the WWE Champion AJ Styles, with James Ellsworth as the mascot.

Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?

SmackDown Live lined up a formidable team for the men's elimination match - with the likes of Randy Orton, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt and Shane McMahon joining the WWE Champion. RAW had Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Braun Strowman to join Jericho and Owens.

The most memorable moment of the Survival Series 2016 buildup was when The Undertaker decided to visit Team Blue. The Phenom called SmackDown his home and told the team to step up their game for Survivor Series, unless they wanted another reason to fear 'The Deadman.'
