Survivor Series 2016 will probably be remembered down the line mostly for Goldberg squashing Brock Lesnar. However, Survivor Series also gave us on of the best 5-on-5 Survivor Series style elimination matches of all time when the men from Raw took on the men from SmackDown Live.

The 10 Superstars tore the house down, going at it for almost an hour. The Raw team included Universal Champion Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman. The SmackDown Live team consisted of WWE World Champion AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt and SmackDown Live GM Shane McMahon along with James Ellsworth as their mascot.

The match veered back and forth between the red brand and the blue brand and the highlights of the match included Roman Reigns spearing Shane McMahon into oblivion from an attempted Coast to Coast, Ambrose getting screwed by Styles which ended in him returning and helping Rollins and Reigns powerbomb Styles through a table in a mini-reunion of sorts as well as Braun Strowman absolutely destroying James Ellsworth after Ellsworth caused him to get counted out.

The match ended with Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton standing tall for SmackDown Live after a surprise appearance from Luke Harper who helped sway things in the blue brand’s favour.

All in all, it was a match for the ages. One of the best Survivor Series style matches that we’ve ever seen.
