With the 30th annual Survivor Series approaching this November, it is all but guaranteed to feature a traditional Survivor Series elimination match. After all, you cannot celebrate 30 years of WWE's second-longest-running pay-per-view without featuring the match that it is most famous for. Whether it's a 4-on-4 or 5-on-5, the elimination match is certain to happen this November.

What would make things even more appropriate is if WWE decides to close the show with the traditional elimination match. To taking things even further, another wrinkle could be added. Survivor Series will be the second major PPV since the WWE brand split in July. One way to spice up the card would be to include members of both RAW and SmackDown in the same match.

Longtime fans may remember the Wild Card Match from Survivor Series '95 that was featured as the semi main event. Perhaps the 2016 Survivor Series can resurrect this idea, but instead of having babyfaces team with heels, RAW could team with SmackDown.

Depending on the participants, the match could also play host to a potential Shield reunion with Roman, Seth, and Dean all currently aligned on the same side of the fence for the first time since their split in mid-2014. Considering how The Shield debuted at Survivor Series 2012, what better place to feature their first true reunion?
