The ability to tell a story, without opening one’s mouth, is a feat that only a few have ever mastered. At the 2016 WWE Survivor Series, there was a level of superior storytelling that we haven't seen in a long time. The prime example of stellar storytelling was what you witnessed during the 5-on-5 traditional Survivor Series match.
The teasing of the Shield reunion, Orton giving himself to Wyatt and Shane McMahon putting his own body on the line, all for the sake of salvaging his brand, are just a few examples of how the creative team turned a 52-minute match, into an amazing never-ending story. It was an absolutely epic, nearly flawless spectacle.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
