More awesomeness ensued during the elimination encounter pitting tag-teams from Monday Night Raw against those from SmackDown Live. The ring apron was a busy place here, no less than 20 wrestlers surrounded the squared circle. Xavier Woods was even at ringside to represent The New Day.

The reigning Raw Tag-Team Champions didn't last long, they were gone less than a full minute into the bout. Fast-forward to the end though and another memorable moment could be seen. This time, it involved Sheamus, Cesaro and The Usos, all of whom were asked to end the near-20 minute clash.

Fittingly, due to the host country for Survivor Series, Cesaro locked one of The Usos in a nifty-looking Sharpshooter. Just as it looked like one brother may save the other, Sheamus chimed in with a Brogue Kick. This allowed Cesaro to maintain his grip and win the match by submission.

Naturally, the Sharpshooter was Bret Hart's finishing hold. Once again, the Canadian crowd revelled in the moment, seeing such an iconic submission move pay dividends for a popular babyface.
