10 Best WWE Survivor Series Elimination Matches Of The 2000s

10. Team Raw vs. Team SmackDown vs. Team NXT (Men's, 2019)

The star power blended with the new blood was spot on in last year's men's elimination match. Chad Gable (definitely not Shorty G) put on a clinic with Matt Riddle, Mustafa Ali and Ricochet bounced around the ring like pinballs in a blender, and King Corbin was up to vintage King Corbin antagonism.

Dissension between Corbin and Roman Reigns came to boil perfectly, Kevin Owens teased a turn back to NXT with his usual perfection, and Team NXT was put over heavily on commentary after battling through War Games the night before. With the number of moving parts co-existing in this match it is astounding that it played out as well as it did - a testament to every single performer involved.

You also had the matchups you never thought you wanted (Randy Orton vs. Tomasso Ciampa), and the ones you absolutely needed (Keith Lee vs. everyone). Seeing Lee take on two-thirds of The Shield in a beautifully built finish was a moment for the ages. Even Reigns snatching the win from NXT can't stop this match from making the list. SmackDown got the point on the night, but Lee came out as the real winner.
