#1 10-man Survivor Series Elimination Match (WWE Survivor Series 2016)
There aren't any true stakes to the RAW vs. SmackDown feud at Survivor Series, but that is made up for by the perfect combination of relentless action and masterful storytelling. The 2016 men's elimination match had both of them in abundance. WWE did a fantastic job of building this match, one layer at a time.

Each Superstar had a purpose in this match, as every elimination was logical for their own reasons. Both, RAW and SmackDown had the perfect balance of experience, star power, and freshness. There were so many plot points, featuring a years' worth of continuity. Something WWE could use more of right now.
Some of the more satisfying eliminations from this Survivor Series classic include Braun Strowman being counted out because of James Ellsworth, a Shield Triple Powerbomb to take out AJ Styles, and a Frog Splash countered into a mid-air RKO to eliminate Seth Rollins. There were also several storylines furthered during this match.
Styles and Dean Ambrose continued their heated rivalry and caused each other's eliminations, including that triple powerbomb. Meanwhile, Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho's friendship stumbled a little after KO got disqualified for using the 'List of Jericho' as a weapon. The final stretch was also incredibly done.
Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns faced off against Bray Wyatt and then-Wyatt Family member, Randy Orton, in a version of the legendary feud between the Wyatts and The Shield. In the end, Orton sacrificed himself to allow his "leader" to pin Reigns and win the match for SmackDown.
This victory launched the 'New Wyatt Family' into legitimacy, along with the many tidbits of storytelling and characterization that this match achieved. Leaving aside the lack of stakes, this was one of the greatest matches in Survivor Series history.
