WWE Survivor Series 2016 Eliminations - From Worst To Best

19. Natalya

In truth, the women's match was full of eliminations that found themselves knee-deep in 'meh' territory. Natalya was a late addition to the match, replacing team captain Nikki Bella after the fearless one got her clock cleaned backstage. Natalya made her way out to a decent reception from the crowd, but as soon as the match began it was back to mild applause for Lady Neidhart.

Natalya fell prey to that age-old Survivor Series trope, where an individual eliminates an opponent only to be removed themselves shortly after. Neidhart ran into the boot of Charlotte, and that was that for Natty.

18. American Alpha

One of the major disappointments of the evening was how little time American Alpha was given to shine in the big tag team match. They had about a five-minute stretch, a couple of minutes of which were spent getting beat down by Epico.

After vanquishing the Shining Stars Gable & Jordan became embroiled in the mass of exciting big dives, taking part in a great little exchange with Cesaro & Sheamus before falling prey to the Magic Killer. That was that.

After coming to the main roster with so much hype the former NXT Tag Team Champions have stalled somewhat in the face of the Heath Slater/Rhyno story. Here's hoping 2017 sees better things for AA.
