Gimmick Some Lovin': The Survivor Series Match

The Eliminations

This clash between teammates certainly won't lead either man to regret his actions, right?

Dean Ambrose

Continuing his rivalry with once-and-future World Championship opponent AJ Styles, Ambrose and Styles clashed often throughout the match; when their confrontation became physical, Strowman took advantage with a powerslam and pin that Styles did nothing to prevent.

Braun Strowman

Strowman was on a rampage, stopped only temporarily by a Shane McMahon signature elbowdrop to the announce table; the monster recovered early, but couldn't return to the ring because Smackdown "mascot" James Ellsworth held on to Strowman's leg from under the ring (for which Ellsworth paid dearly).

Kevin Owens

Desperate to prove his friendship with fellow Canadian Chris Jericho, Universal Champion Owens found himself eliminated when he attempted to save Jericho from AJ Styles' Styles Clash by striking The Phenomenal One with The List of Jericho.

Do you know what happens, Kevin? Do you know what happens when you strike an opponent with the List of Jericho? You get disqualified.

Not bad, but Orton would do far better later on.

Chris Jericho

Distraught over the destruction of his list, Jericho attempted to recoup the papers strewn about the ring, allowing Randy Orton to hit an RKO outta somewhere for a three-count and a Smackdown advantage.

*record scratch* "I bet you're wondering how I got here."

Shane McMahon

At this point, the match is 4-2 in favour of the Blue Brand, but the fans at home and in Toronto are none-too-pleased that one of the two remaining for Team Red was Roman Reigns, seemingly signifying to them a victory for the Samoan.

He does little to dispel that notion, interrupting Shane McMahon's coast-to-coast turnbuckle dropkick with a spear that presented legitimate injury concern for McMahon.

AJ Styles

The aforementioned spats between Ambrose and Styles reared their ugly heads again, as Reigns, Rollins, and Ambrose fought through an army of referees and security officers to show how fickle the Toronto crowd is reunite The Shield for a huge crowd reaction and deliver a signature triple powerbomb to the announce table; Rollins would roll Styles back into the squared circle for three.

Never get involved in a land war in Asia, and never EVER make yourself horizontal and airborne when Randy Orton is present.

Seth Rollins

The teams now numerically even, Wyatt Family member Luke Harper appears ringside to help Family members Orton and Wyatt intimidate the former Shield-mates.

Harper's distractions seemed to be effectively negated when Rollins climbed the turnbuckle to deliver his frog splash to Wyatt, but The Viper would pop up for an impressive RKO OUTTA NOWHERE for the elimination.

In WWE storytelling, this is the equivalent of stepping in front of a speeding Mack truck driven by an armor-piercing bullet

Roman Reigns

If fans were worried before, they were terrified now: boos began to cascade as it looked like Reigns might make the Superman comeback and singlehandedly win the day for Team Raw. Orton, however, showed his loyalty to the Wyatt Family commitment to his sleeper agent role by stepping in front of a Reigns spear attempt on Wyatt, allowing Wyatt (the legal man in the match) to hit his Sister Abigail finisher for a Blue Team victory.

The crowd showered the heels with applause as a signature Wyatt jump cut ends the segment.
