The return of Survivor Series is here. And this installment’s offering of matchups feature the added element of brand warfare.
Raw and SmackDown Live have carefully constructed three teams that they hope take ’em straight to victory. This year’s Traditional Survivor Series matches will pit both brands’ best tag teams, female competitors and male singles Superstars. But the biggest matchup of all will see two of the most intimidating and damn near indestructible athletes in wrestling face off once again. Brock Lesnar and Goldberg will bring WWE 2K17’s Fantasy Warfare to life and (hopefully) give the world a much better match than their meeting at WrestleMania 20.
We’re here once again to deliver all you fans the match results and highlights for Survivor Series 2016.

Noam Dar, Rich Swann, and T.J. Perkins vs. Ariya Daivari, Drew Gulak, and Tony Nese (Six-Man Tag Team Match)
Winners: Noam Dar, Rich Swann, and T.J. Perkins!
Highlights: Everyone shook hands and then the match got underway when Swann and Nese squared off. Swann and Nese exchanged all types of holds and countered each other at every juncture. Swann dropkicked Nese and then let TJP get in to cause some damage. TJP used his mastery of suplexes to break down Nese. Nese got locked into an Octopus Hold, but he escaped after powering out of it. His advantage didn’t last long, though. TJP and Swann ended up using a slick tag team maneuver to ground Nese. After a while, Gulak and TJP ended up competing for their respective teams. Gulak almost lost via submission, but his teammates and TJP’s partners all ran in to break up the action.
When the match got back under control, Dar finally entered the ring and got into it with Daivari. After getting distracted by Nese, Dar ended up on the receiving end of a stiff Spinebuster. Dar then got the brunt of the rival team’s combined offense. Nese and Gulak punished him the most while the crowd watched Dar struggle. Once Dar got back to his feet, he kicked Gulak back down and tried to tag out. Daivari was there to cut him off, but he ended up inadvertently helping Dar tag out to Swann. Swann went crazy with his comeback offense on Daivari for a bit, but some outside help caused Daivari to gain the upper hand. Some high-flying planchas and top con hilo’s became a part of the equation afterwards. Swann used a swift back kick and a standing 450 Splash to get the win for his team.
Kane vs. Luke Harper
Winner: Kane!
Highlights: These big men slowly locked up for a while before Kane grounded Harper with a back drop suplex. Kane stayed on top of the Wyatt Family member with some uppercuts and shoulder shoves. Harper pulled Kane outside the ring and then threw himself right through the ropes before the Big Red Machine could catch his breath. Harper used his running big boot on Kane as soon as he re-entered the ring. Harper stayed on the big man with clubbing forearms to the back and a chinlock. Harper made his way to the top rope, but Kane cut him off with some stiff strikes. Kane brought Harper back down to the mat with a nice Superplex.
When both men recovered, Kane took control of the match with his comeback maneuvers. Harper hot him just as hard with a Superkick, but it wasn’t enough to end the match. Harper decided to break out his dropkick, but it still didn’t finish Kane. Kane’s own big boot and DDT combo wore down Harper some more. Harper broke out a Boss Man Slam and set up something big soon after, but he ran right into a Chokeslam From Hell. That was finally enough to get Kane the victory.

Zayn used some top rope punches once he regained control, but Miz cut him off before he could finish and continued breaking down Zayn’s injured leg.

Zayn went right into his comeback offense as soon as Miz crawled back into the ring. Zayn went for his Blue Thunder Bomb, but Miz flipped out of it, fought to lock on another hold and ended up DDT-ing Zayn after a brief struggle.
Miz decided to taunt Daniel Bryan and use his corner running dropkick on Zayn. Miz signaled for a big top rope move, but Zayn spun behind him and landed his big Blue Thunder Bomb. Zayn looked to land his Helluva Kick, but his injured leg prevented him from running at full speed. Zayn’s big Exploder Suplex into the corner worked though, but Zayn was still unable to follow it up with his finisher. Miz took note of this and locked on his Figure Four Leglock. Zayn struggled for several moments and he finally reversed the hold right onto The Miz’s legs. Miz reached back into Daniel Bryan’s movelist and used his repeated chest kicks to weaken Zayn. Zayn caught one of his feet and ended up locking him in the Figure Four Leglock. Suddenly, the bell rang and it seemed as if The Miz had tapped. Turns out it was only Maryse. This huge distraction led to Zayn releasing the hold, which led right into Miz rolling up Zayn for the dirty win.

AJ then did the same to Ambrose and forced both men to fight. Ambrose and Rollins ended up fighting to a stalemate of their own and while Rollins’ back was turned, Y2J tagged himself back in. Y2J’s jaw jacking with Ambrose did nothing but piss Ambrose off and cause Y2J much discomfort. Both men exchanged holds until Y2J landed an Enzuguri on Ambrose. Y2J viciously slapped Ambrose, which woke Ambrose back up and caused him to assault Y2J. Shane O’Mac soon got involved and used his quickness to land a running reverse elbow to Y2J.

Shane tried desperately to break them up, but their skirmish led into Ambrose getting eliminated by Strowman’s Running Powerslam.

On the outside, Orton RKO’d Strowman right onto an announce table. After getting set up by Bray and Orton, Strowman crashed through the announce table after a Shane O’Mac Elbow Drop. Strowman met his elimination after being unable to answer the ref’s 10-count due to James Ellsworth grabbing his leg from underneath the ring. Strowman took out his frustrations on SmackDown Live’s mascot by flinging him onto a pair of tables near the entrance ramp. Back inside the ring, Y2J and his best buddy focused on beating down Shane. Shane ended up getting caught with a Codebreaker (Orton ate one of his own), but Shane still survived as the match wore on. Y2J went for a top rope splash on Shane, but Shane moved away at the very last second.
AJ got the hot tag and began going to town on Y2J. Y2J looked to save himself with a Walls of Jericho, but AJ reversed it into his Calf Crusher. AJ even angered Owens after hitting him while he was on the ring apron, which led to Owens DQ’ing himself after hitting AJ with Y2J’s metal List pad.

Shane got tagged in, started throwing punches and even landed a DDT on Reigns. Then Shane focused his attention on Rollins, then went right back to beating down Reigns. Shane signaled for his Coast to Coast, but Reigns speared him right out of the air. A scary moment occurred when Shane was forced to leave the match after the ref saw him in an unresponsive state.
When the match got back into the ring, Orton and Bray worked on a much weaker Reigns. Reigns turned the momentum around for his team by clotheslining Bray and tagging in a fresh Rollins. Rollins pulled out his best moves as he took out AJ inside the ring and Bray outside of it. Rollins damn near destroyed AJ with an Enzuguri and his Superplex/Falcon Arrow combo. Afterwards, Orton tried to DDT Rollins on the outside but Reigns showed up just in time to stop him. AJ then had to save Orton from eating a Shield Powerbomb.

Rollins and Reigns teamed up to help Ambrose take out several security guards and then Powerbomb AJ into an announce table. AJ soon got eliminated.
It all came down to Orton/Bray and Rollins/Reigns. Harper came from underneath the ring to help distract Team Raw, which helped Team SmackDown live gain the upper hand. Rollins landed a Slingblade on Bray and even went to lay out Harper out on the outside. Rollins did his best to stay in the match, but a missed Frog Splash caused him to get dropped with an eliminating RKO. Reigns was the last man standing for Raw.
