10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 2015 Facts
7. Cesaro Was The Fans' Choice To Win The Tournament, Per A WWE Poll
On the 16 November 2015 episode of Raw, six nights before the pay-per-view, WWE held the quarterfinal matches of the tournament to determine the new champion. Earlier in the day, WWE.com held a poll, asking fans who they wanted to see win said tournament.
Of the eight men that would be in action that night, the one who received the most votes was Cesaro, by a considerable margin. Cesaro, for those who remember, would lose his quarterfinal match that evening to Roman Reigns, in what was an excellent 20-minute television showcase.
Whether fans voted for Cesaro because they genuinely liked him, or simply because he was matched against "WWE's choice" in Reigns, is anyone's guess. The fact that Cesaro outrated legitimate crowd favorites like Dean Ambrose, Neville, and Dolph Ziggler by such high margins would make one assume the latter.
