WWE Survivor Series 2016: 10 Things We Learned
7. The Tag-Team Elimination Match Was A Sleeper Hit
Seeing between the ropes was likely difficult for those situated in the front few rows during the opening minutes of the tag-team elimination match. So many bodies were camped out on the ring apron, meaning some were probably subjected to more rear end than wrestling.
Naturally, the numbers dwindled as the match wore on. An all-action collision, The New Day captained Raw's team against one headed up by Heath Slater and Rhyno. Raw's Tag-Team Champions were gone quickly, and their rapid elimination oddly added to what was presented. A sleeper hit, this one always had something going on and was never dull in the slightest.
Incredibly good fun, it was Sheamus and Cesaro who eventually outlasted everybody to win. Lastly beating The Usos, the warring partners were booked to put their differences aside when it mattered on the night. As a reward, Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley announced in a backstage segment afterwards that they will challenge The New Day for the titles on Monday Night Raw.
Encounters such as this should always be on the Survivor Series card, they simply can't fail to entertain.
