#4 Team RAW vs. Team SmackDown (Survivor Series 2016)

At Survivor Series 2016, the marquee showdown in the battle of brand supremacy was the five-on-five elimination match. It was a bonafide who's who of top stars in the company at the time.

Team RAW were represented by WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens, United States Champion Roman Reigns, Chris Jericho, Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman.

Team SmackDown consisted of WWE Champion AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton and Commissioner Shane McMahon. The WWE Universe would witness a remarkable 53-minute bout.

The contest was layered with so many different stories, from the feuding Styles and Ambrose costing their team, to a memorable mini Shield reunion, to James Ellsworth helping to eliminate Braun Strowman.

In the conclusion, Randy Orton's quest to prove himself to Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family was completed, with an unlikely sacrifice that helped Bray pin Reigns to win for Team SmackDown.

This Survivor Series Elimination match is the longest-ever in length. It definitely delivered a tremendous level of in-ring work, mixed with enough notable moments to stand up to any previous encounter of its kind.
