#3 Team RAW vs Team SmackDown (Survivor Series 2005)

This match is more notable for what happened after

Team SmackDown had a far more impressive team, but this match itself is more famous for the ending, where The Undertaker appeared.

Team SmackDown comprised of Randy Orton, Batista, JBL, Rey Mysterio and Bobby Lashley, while Team RAW comprised of Kane, Big Show, Carlito, Chris Masters and Shawn Michaels.

By this point, WWE started mentioning Orton building his Survivor Series résumé up, being the sole survivor of the prior two Survivor Series editions.

Orton even showed his "experience levels" so to speak, being the only one in the ring even after three members of team RAW tagged in and out. Shawn eliminated Rey Mysterio and JBL within seconds with a Sweet Chin Music on two consecutive attempts. Michaels was bumping for his opponents left and right.

The crowd started chanting "We want Taker!" towards the end of the match. Thanks to a distraction from JBL, Randy Orton was able to hit the RKO on HBK and win. The crowd was clearly crazy for Randy Orton this time around, unlike the previous year.

For the third year in a row, Randy Orton was the sole survivor. However, his celebration was cut short as The Undertaker made an epic return.
