5 reasons the 2016 Survivor Series was a huge success

#2 Storytelling 101

The 2016 Survivor Series left us with plenty to build off of.

The ability to tell a story, without opening one’s mouth, is a feat that only a few have ever mastered. At the 2016 WWE Survivor Series, there was a level of superior storytelling that we haven't seen in a long time. The prime example of stellar storytelling was what you witnessed during the 5-on-5 traditional Survivor Series match.

The teasing of the Shield reunion, Orton giving himself to Wyatt and Shane McMahon putting his own body on the line, all for the sake of salvaging his brand, are just a few examples of how the creative team turned a 52-minute match, into an amazing never-ending story. It was an absolutely epic, nearly flawless spectacle.
