Do you remember the traditional Raw vs. SmackDown elimination match at Survivor Series 2016? Shane McMahon doesn't. The 'Boy Wonder' was famously knocked loopy during a coast-to-coast spot cut short by a last-second Roman Reigns spear. Shane came down hard on the back of his head, and was ruled unfit to continue by the ref.

Bye bye, World Cup winner.

Just over 158 million people have watched this five-on-five display of striving to survive. It saw Shane heading up a SmackDown team of AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt vs. Raw's Reigns, Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman, Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens. Drink it in, McMaaaaaahon.

It's been five years since WWE uploaded the full match to YouTube, and they must be pleasantly surprised by how well some of these Survivor Series clips do. This won't be the last you see of the definite fourth spot in the traditional big four pay-per-views.
