Ranking WWE's 2016 Pay-Per-View Endings From Worst To Best
2. Survivor Series
What happened: October played host to one of the most unlikely returns in WWE history as former World Heavyweight Champion Goldberg appeared on the show for the first time in over 12 years. His comeback was in response to a challenge from Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman, and it was decided that the two would meet at the Survivor Series. Many fans expected Brock to avenge his WrestleMania XX loss, but instead, Goldberg routed "The Beast," hitting two Spears and a Jackhammer to put Lesnar away in under 90 seconds. Following the match, Goldberg celebrated with his son in front of a roaring crowd.
Why it was good: At one point, the idea of Goldberg being the man to finally defeat "The One in 21-1" would have seemed asinine - and undoubtedly, many fans still felt that way. Lesnar's usage and performance in 2016 were so bad, though, that it seemed like a win over him no longer had the same cachet. He'd coasted in matches with Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton, couldn't claim victory at the Royal Rumble or Fastlane, and saw his UFC 200 victory overturned after failing a drug test. More damage had already been done to "The Beast" than a single clean loss ever could have afforded him, so getting to see Goldberg do the Goldberg thing one last time was a welcome trade-off.
