WWE Survivor Series 2016: 6 Winners from the Show
By Tom Thomas
WWE Survivor Series had all the makings to be the best PPV of the year until Goldberg faced Lesnar. Here is a look at the real winners coming out of the show.
WWE Survivor Series gave the fans all that they wanted and more. However, fans still question the ending of the PPV as WWE went with shock value ahead of logic. Goldberg absolutely squashed Brock Lesnar in what seemed like a match out of Braun Strowman’s playbook.
It is surprising to see that Lesnar agreed to this. It was also a warm surprise to see Lesnar sell Goldberg’s moves as much as he did. Regardless of this last-minute let down, when all is said and done, Survivor Series was a great PPV. There were a number of huge spots and a Shield reunion. We were all winners to have seen that.
