7 amazing WWE Survivor Series moments

#5 Goldberg defeats Brock Lesnar (Survivor Series 2016)

Lesnar vs Goldberg

Whether the main event of Survivor Series 2016 was going to be a trainwreck, a wrestling classic, or something else entirely - fans tuning in knew it was going to be something to watch.

Following their disaster of a match twelve years earlier at WrestleMania XX, Bill Goldberg was set to come out of retirement and take on Brock Lesnar at that year's Survivor Series. It was partly set up to promote that year's WWE 2K17 video game, which featured Goldberg as a special pre-order bonus character.

Notice near the end of the video, with Goldberg in the back of the police car - you can see the backward reflection of the words "Suplex City" in the window. Then, this happened.

Following this match - as well as eliminating Lesnar from that next year's Royal Rumble - Goldberg would go on to capture the Universal Championship from Kevin Owens and went on to lose it to Lesnar at WrestleMania. And, yes, it was a way better match than their match over a decade earlier.

But, this moment at Survivor Series - this out-of-nowhere dominance from a man who hadn't wrestled in years against the scariest wrestler in the world? That's a Survivor Series moment worth remembering.
