5 Ups And 6 Downs From WWE Survivor Series 2016

3. New Day Gets One-Upped

Surprise eliminations can be a great thing in a Survivor Series match. Remember when John Cena was pinned in the 2014 bout, leaving Dolph Ziggler by himself against three men? That one left fans with jaws dropped.

In that vein, it made for a great moment when New Day’s Kofi Kingston, fresh off of mocking Fandango (and Tyler Breeze) for getting eliminated in record time, turned right into an Uso superkick, getting pinned just as quickly and leaving Team Raw without their tag champs and captains.

That elimination led to some strange pairings later, but it certainly turn the tag team elimination match on its head to see the Shining Stars outlast the New Day.
