The Match: The Shield and The Real Americans (Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger) vs. Cody Rhodes, Goldust, The Usos and Rey Mysterio

Generally regarded by fans and critics as the worst Survivor Series PPV, the 2013 edition nevertheless had a killer opener, at a time when Roman Reigns could actually get away with eliminating 80% of the opposing team while emerging as the sole survivor. Hell, the crowd loved him.

Everyone here turned in totally solid performances and basically pulled out all their most popular moves to the crowd's delight. Overall the pacing and storytelling were top-notch, making this a killer opener to an otherwise thoroughly mediocre show.

Plus, credit to Roman for using the Spear four times in the match yet making it not feel stale, especially when countering Mysterio's 619 to win the match.
