5 matches that prove Randy Orton is Mr Survivor Series

#1 Team RAW vs Team SmackDown Live (Survivor Series 2016)

Team SmackDown & RAW confronting each other on the Survivor Series 2016 go-home show

This might just be the greatest traditional Survivor Series match of all time. Now I understand that it's a big statement to make, but if you've seen the match live, you'll know that this match was 53 minutes of absolute chaos.

One of the reasons why the match turned out so well is possibly because of the sheer talent on both teams. It just goes to prove how stacked today's WWE roster really is.

Team SmackDown Live comprised of AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton & Shane McMahon(with James Ellsworth as the mascot), while Team RAW comprised of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Chris Jericho, Kevin Owens and Braun Strowman.

With the two stacked teams, the Survivor Series match delivered in a huge way. Randy Orton was just a month into his storyline alliance with Bray Wyatt and at that point, things were fresh and the storyline was something very new. In fact, it was arguably the best storyline going on in WWE at the time.

From The Shield momentarily reuniting to take out AJ Styles, to Braun Strowman throwing James Ellsworth off the stage to Randy Orton hitting one of the best RKOs of his career to him eating the bullet that was a spear from Roman Reigns and then Bray Wyatt pinning Reigns clean, the match was an absolute instant classic from start to finish.

There are several moments from the match which stand out, but out of all the performers, Randy Orton truly proved to the WWE Universe in this match that he is indeed "Mr Survivor Series".

The ending of the match saw Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt as the remaining survivors for the victorious team SmackDown Live. It was emphasized on what a force Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton were together. And it's true when Bray and Randy were together, it was a delight for the WWE Universe to watch. It's a shame the storyline ended so anti-climactically, but one mustn't forget that the Orton-Wyatt storyline was thoroughly entertaining for the most part.

Randy Orton is set to be a part of team SmackDown Live for the 2017 Survivor Series team as well and one can only imagine what kind of a legendary performance The Viper is set to show us this year.
