10 Best WWE Matches Of 2016

3. Men's Survivor Series Match - Survivor Series

Since the brand split was reintroduced in 2016, that meant that Survivor Series could now be used for brand warfare! 

Before it became a dull parody of itself, this concept was actually treated pretty well, especially in the traditional 5-on-5 men’s match that went down in 2016. 

On Raw’s side, you had Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Braun Strowman. For SmackDown, there was AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, and Shane McMahon. 

Not only was there great wrestling between the two teams, there was also infighting on both sides, with Ambrose turning on his rival Styles and rejoining Rollins and Reigns to give him a Shield-style powerbomb through the announce table.

Wyatt got to interact with Strowman for the first time since they’d been in the same stable, there was great character work from Owens and Jericho, and Reigns speared Shane out of midair so hard he was left in a crumpled mess on the mat. 

This jumbo-sized battle earned every single one of its 53 minutes and is easily much better than any of the rubbish Survivor Series matches from the next few years.
