Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose combine to powerbomb AJ Styles through the announce table, despite the Lunatic Fringe being on the opposing Survivor Series team.

The men's traditional Survivor Series match was one of the most surprisingly well thought-out matches of the year, a 50-minute contest which didn't feel nearly as long thanks to the interlocking storyline developments and entertaining set pieces sprinkled throughout.

Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt emerged as the survivors for Team SmackDown, but the moment that will surely live longest in the memory saw all three former Shield brothers combine to powerbomb the WWE Champion through the announce table - the latest (and most blatant) in a series of reunion teases.
